Question:
Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) is the armed forces of Malaysia, consists of three branches, namely the Malaysian Army, Royal Malaysian Navy and the Royal Malaysian Air Force. ATM has more than 100,000 active personnel located nationwide and even worldwide. It is very critical for ATM to have a highly secure network connections for these locations. The network is not only used for country's safety purposes system (weapons inventory system, assets mobilization system etc) but also for less-critical internal system such as payroll system, attendance system etc.
As the Network Security Manager for ATM, your tasks are to:
- Provide ATM's background in terms of network management including the business operations (eg. running 24/7, multiple data centres) and the security needs (eg. secure environment for its personnel) of the ATM's network.
- Analyse THREE possible internal attacks that can be launched at ATM. In your analysis, provide the following for each of the internal attacks identified:
- Description of the internal attack
- Example scenario on how the attack is launched
- Security measure to eliminate the attack
- Analyse THREE possible external attacks that can be launched at ATM. In your analysis, provide the following for each of the external attacks identified:
- Description of the external attack
- Example scenario on how the attack is launched
- Security measure to eliminate the attack
- Provide the importance of implementing controls against network attacks based on
- Preventive control to be implemented in ATM with appropriate example
- Detective control to be implemented in ATM with appropriate example
- Corrective control to be implemented in ATM with appropriate example
- Propose and discuss THREE key aspects (security controls) of approaching towards a good cyber security for ATM to prevent ethical issues on network security
- Description of the key aspect (security control)
Provide appropriate example in relation to ethical issues on network security
