Key Assignment Draft

The case study retail store is concerned about the possibilities of losing data because of database system malfunctions or downtime. Security is also a major concern to the company because it is common knowledge that engaging in online business can be risky because of known vulnerabilities on the Internet. The company also realizes that its in-store database system is the top priority at this time. What solutions can you propose to effectively manage database transactions, maintain security, and recover the data that are lost from system failure or downtime?

Review these examples to help you with this assignment.

The assumptions are as follows:

• A high volume of the orders often occurs during the daytime.
• One person will serve the role of database administrator.
• The database administrator account will serve as database owner.
• The transaction log must be backed up.
• Point-in-time recovery is required.
• There is an always-on availability group.
• The ability to purchase products online will be addressed in a future database project.

The project deliverables are as follows:

• What solutions can you propose to effectively manage database transactions, maintain security, and recover the data that are lost from system failure or downtime?
• What is your rationale for the transaction management plan, database security procedure, backup plan, and recovery model that you proposed for the case study organization?
• Database Administration Plan (4–5 pages)
  • Create a database administration plan that is specific to the needs of your retail store.
  • Include a transaction management plan that includes a flowchart for how each transaction will be handled (including rollback and commit cases).
  • Include a database security procedure that includes provisions for access control, user authentication, and availability.
  • Include a backup plan and a recovery model
  • Provide your analysis as to how this part of the project fulfills the mission and 1 or more goals of the case study organization.
• All sources should be cited both in-text and in References using APA format.
• Name the document “yourname_CS660_IP4.doc.”

• Review the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)Links to an external site. website. After reviewing the site, what are your thoughts about the OWASP project and why do you think this would be a useful resource? Be detailed in your response. What do you think is a useful purpose of WebGoat? Share a couple of tools from this site and provide a summary of how you think the tool could be useful to you in an investigation. Share the links.

• What are the top 10 mistakes made in Web development that can be exploited? How might this knowledge help you as a network or security administrator?

IT545-3: Analyze scenarios related to wireless, mobile, and cloud infrastructures, as well as disruptive technologies, to determine cybersecurity strategies.

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is for you to engage in defining a mitigation strategy for a web server attack from within a cloud-based WAN. You will apply biometrics or cryptography as part of the solution.

Assignment Instructions

1. You are a cybersecurity specialist working for an online retail organization that houses their network and all servers and data in the cloud. The CEO is concerned about the web servers being hacked since they are public facing, and if they are hacked, possible access gained to sensitive customer and employee data. Assume the attack to be similar to the one performed in your lab. For this assignment, make the following assumptions:
   • The organization has an outward facing website that allows customers to view and purchase their products. The web server housing this website is in the organization’s demilitarized zone (DMZ). The DMZ uses a single firewall system. Users place orders and pay using PayPal or a credit card. 
   • Other servers on the cloud-based network house several databases. One holds all customer personal and sensitive information. The second database holds employee personal and sensitive information. There is some encryption of these databases for data at rest, but not for data in transit and data in use (while data is being processed).
   • Also, on the internal network are an email server, print servers, and application servers.
2. Discuss potential vulnerabilities in this system. 
3. Discuss in more detail the following:
   • Biometric Authentication
     • Discuss biometric-based authentication types that are relevant in this cloud-based system
     • Select a type of biometric-based authentication you would recommend for this system and justify your recommendation
   • Addition of Encryption for data in transit and data in use (while processed)
     • Discuss why there is an emerging need for encrypting data in use in a cloud environment.
     • Provide a description of homomorphic encryption and provide a justification as to why it should be deployed in this scenario to protect data in use.
4. Conclusion Paragraph

Assignment Requirements

The paper should be 2–3 pages, use 12 pt. Times New Roman, and be in APA format.
