[u08a2] Unit 8 Assignment 2
Legal Issues and Honeypot Use (Assignment 2) 3-4 pages
Introduction
In a perfect world, network intrusion prevention measures would be sufficient to prevent any unauthorized network access. Unfortunately, it is impossible to prevent all intrusions. This makes it critical to know when a preventative control has failed. Intrusion detection system and honeypots are two ways an organization can monitor their network for illicit activity. Intrusion detection systems alert an organization to potential illicit activity, while honeypots act as a decoy to lure attackers into an environment where their activities can be closely monitored.
Instructions
Regulations require your organization to perform an annual security assessment, which includes penetration testing. You perform a variety of attacks against the organization’s firewall and can breach the network perimeter. In your exploration of the network, you find evidence of a honeypot. Company policy stipulates that only security administrators can implement and manage honeypots. Company policy also explicitly states that all honeypots must be documented and approved by the chief information security officer (CISO).
You report your findings to the CISO, who asks you to provide a report on honeypots and the legal ramifications of using honeypots within the organization.
Write a 3–4 page report in which you:
· Explain the advantages of using honeypots in securing network infrastructures.
· Explain the disadvantages of using honeypots in securing network infrastructures.
· Describe at least two types of honeypots, providing real-life examples.
· Analyze the legal ramifications of using honeypots within the organization.
Your assignment must be supported by a minimum of three recent, peer-reviewed references. Citations and references must be formatted using current APA style.
Structure your report as follows:
· Title page.
· Introduction.
· The main body (at least three pages); use headings to identify individual sections.
· Summary and conclusion.
· References page. Capella academic integrity standards must be strictly followed.
