Cybersecurity software

During job interviews, employers often ask if you are familiar with cybersecurity software. For this reason, it is a good idea to become familiar with commonly used software, including capabilities and limitations. These software products are the tools for conducting your day-to-day duties.

For the first six weeks of this course, you have been exposed to many different tools that an analyst should become familiar with: analyst tools, exploitation tools, and forensics tools. Provide a response in which you:

1. Describe a lab or a software tool that you used that has helped you to better understand the role of an analyst within an organization, such as:

Kali Linux

2. Describe the process to install, set up, and configure the tool you selected above. Did you find the tool easy to use? Did you encounter challenges?

3. Highlight some of the benefits of the tool you selected above. Provide some examples of where you think using the tool would benefit you as a cybersecurity threat analyst. Why do you think the tool would be best?

For this Linux system, what do you recommend fixing right away? Are there dangers if the vulnerabilities and associated threats are not fixed? How do you fix the problem(s) identified? Can you defer mitigation for another time? How can the problem(s) be fixed if the system cannot be taken offline?

Report of Linux Server

Review Report of Linux Server (OLD) and answer the following questions in your response:

1. For this Linux system, what do you recommend fixing right away? Are there dangers if the vulnerabilities and associated threats are not fixed?
2. How do you fix the problem(s) identified? Can you defer mitigation for another time? How can the problem(s) be fixed if the system cannot be taken offline?

Judy is considering asking the pen tester to rescan the company systems using the commercial tool, Nessus. The organization has an evaluation version that can be used for 30 days. After that, the company will need to purchase the tool. The cost is significant.

3. Since some machines were already scanned with OpenVAS, should you also consider scanning the same systems with Nessus? Why or why not?
4. Conduct open source research using the internet. Roughly, what is the cost to license Nessus for one year?

Provide an analysis of the report. You decide to highlight what you think the company should address first and how you would mitigate some of the top threats.

Vulnerability Management Process

Congratulations! Your boss, Judy “Mac” McNamara, thought you did a great job on your Vulnerability Management Process recommendation and analysis of the Open VAS vulnerability report. However, the boss doesn’t think the free OpenVAS tool will provide the high-level presentation reporting and support needed by Mercury USA. Now, Judy would like you to evaluate the leading commercial vulnerability scanner, Nessus. Fortunately, Judy had asked someone in the IT department to install and configure a 30-day evaluation copy of Nessus. She hands you a recent Nessus report from IT that has a few more systems added, and with a wry smile adds, “It looks like there’s some really bad stuff in there!”

Judy would like you to provide an analysis of the report. You decide to highlight what you think the company should address first and how you would mitigate some of the top threats.

In addition, Judy wants to know your thoughts on Nessus, since it’s expensive. You now realize that you need to ensure due diligence has been performed before making a purchase recommendation to executive management.

Read the following articles ( links attached) and incorporate them into your paper. You are encouraged to review additional articles as well.

-An Introduction of NoSQL Databases Based on Their Categories and Application Industries.
-Software Development Lifecycle for Energy Efficiency: Techniques and Tools.
-First Things First: Adopting a Holistic, Needs-Driven Approach to Improving the Quality of Routinely Collected Data.
-Approaches to Speed Up Data Processing in Relational Databases.

Instructions

Write a 2–3 page paper in which you:

-Recommend at least three specific tasks that could be performed to improve the quality of data sets using the software development life cycle (SDLC) methodology. Include a thorough description of each activity per each phase.
-Recommend the actions that should be performed to optimize record selections and to improve database performance from a quantitative data quality assessment.
-Suggest three maintenance plans and three activities that could be performed to improve data quality.
-Suggest methods that would be efficient for planning proactive concurrency control methods and lock granularities. Assess how your selected method can be used to minimize the database security risks that may occur within a multiuser environment.
-Analyze how the method can be used to plan out the system effectively and ensure that the number of transactions does not produce record-level locking while the database is in operation

Overview

The culmination of this class will include an introduction to Ansible.

Guidelines and Expectations

Create 3 Ubuntu Based Linux Virtual Machines on either a cloud provider or locallyto your system. Set them up so you can SSH into them. You should be using an SSH key and easily be able to access the machines. You will then create an Ansible Playbook and run it to demonstrate that you can conduct a full apt update across all three virtual machines using Ansible.

We will also cover how to accomplish thE during our recorded sessions. Examples – https:11www.cybercitibizffiaq/ansible-apt-update-allmackages-on-ubuntu-debian-linuxhf https:111inuxhint.com/run-apt-get-update-ansibleffif Deliverables Submit a Zip File of the project or the individual files.
