Cybersecurity Incident Response

In this project, I was tasked with creating a plan to improve the network security of a multimedia company after a security event (DDOS attack) that compromised the internal network for two hours before it was resolved. 

I used the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) as a guide to help me navigate through the various steps of analyzing the security event and integrated my analysis into a general security strategy which includes: 

  • How to Identify the type of attack and systems affected. 
  • Ways to Protect the organization's assets from being compromised.
  • Ways to Detect similar security incidents in the future. 
  • Plans to Respond in order to contain, neutralize and analyze security incidents
  • Plans to Recover all affected system back to normal operation and restoring system data that was affected.
