Module 6: “Assessing Common Attack Vectors”.
Learning Objectives and Outcomes
Analyzing supply chain attacks and protection.
Assignment Requirements
In 2020, a hack against SolarWinds was revealed, which quickly proved to affect a much larger number of companies that were part of the SolarWinds supply chain, including the U.S. government.
The hackers used a supply chain attack to insert malicious code into SolarWinds Orion, an IT performance monitoring platform. The supply chain attack targeted third parties with access to SolarWinds systems. The original attack began long before it was detected because of the way in which the backdoor malware was able to hide itself, even from antivirus software. The malware was distributed inadvertently by SolarWinds as an update or patch to Orion.
Example of question discussed.
Do you think supply chain companies are now protected from these types of attacks? Why or why not?
Module 7: “Implementing an IT Security Policy”.
Learning Objectives and Outcomes
Compare change management and configuration management.
Assignment Requirements
Example of question discussed:
How are change management and configuration management related?
If you have a strict configuration management process, do you need change management? Why or why not?
