This project is the creation of an incident analysis brief for your manager. Regardless of the level of protection and prevention an organization has in place,
cybersecurity incidents occur. It is the response to the incident that may make or break an organization. As you progress through your degree, you will build your
skills to prepare for all stages of incident response: preparation, detection and analysis, containment, eradication and recovery, and post-incident activity.
A critical aspect of incident response is the ability to use information gained from an incident to improve the organization’s security posture. The insight gained
helps security professionals develop solutions that reduce the likelihood of similar incidents in the future while balancing the potential negative impacts those
solutions will have on the people, processes, and technologies they ultimately affect. In this project, you will examine an incident that has occurred and use the
Fundamental Security Design Principles to develop recommendations that will protect the organization in the future.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course competency:
CYB-200-03: Describe fundamental principles of cybersecurity
Scenario
In a course announcement, your instructor will provide you with a scenario on which your work will be based. You will situate yourself as the security analyst in
one of the provided scenarios, creating an incident analysis brief that explains to the security/IT director how the Fundamental Security Design Principles can be
applied to strengthen the organization’s security posture following the incident described in the case. You do not require specific technical information from the
system beyond those supplied for you within the scenario. Rather, you should address each critical element in the Project Two prompt, speaking broadly to what
your analysis and recommendations would be, based on your research from the course materials collected in previous modules.
