EDEN
PRAIRIE, Minn., July 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CYRIN, the virtual cybersecurity
platform from ATCorp., has added a new scenario that teaches
students how to investigate, analyze and mitigate a cyberattack on
the enterprise
In this new Attack Scenario from CYRIN, students play the role
of a network security administrator of an enterprise in order to
investigate, analyze and mitigate an attack on the enterprise. They
are told that a host on the Internet has been persistently scanning
their network. The enterprise has an Incident Response Rack
that consists of:
- A server with cybersecurity tools, and
- A workstation with a browser-based user interface to view and
analyze data from the security tools.
Students use these tools to determine:
- The service being targeted by the attacker, and
- If the attacker succeeds in finding and exploiting a
vulnerability in this service.
After analyzing the nature of the attack, they must block the
attacker from the network. The scenario includes a quiz that tests
the students' understanding of the attack and how best to prevent
attacks of this nature.
Why this is Important
The ability to investigate
anomalous network activity is an essential cyber defense skill. To
successfully complete this scenario students must use tools such as
intrusion detectors and firewalls to capture potentially malicious
traffic and analyze logs to identify the nature of the attack. This
will give students an understanding of how security gaps are
closed.
This new scenario is mapped to NIST Work Roles:
- Cyber Defense Analyst (PR-CDA-001)
- Cyber Defense Incident Responder (PR-CIR-001)
This attack scenario is just a small part of CYRIN's ongoing
development efforts that keep CYRIN at the forefront with new and
innovative ways to train and teach students and learners in the art
of cybersecurity. Inexpensive, easy-to-use and tailored to
your schedule, the CYRIN labs and attack scenarios are your entry
to the world of cyber security. To learn more about our content
