The course examines how cybersecurity issues connect to areas such as culture, law, ethics, politics, and business. It also focuses on how cyber technologies create both opportunities and risks, including cybercrime, ethical challenges, and global security concerns. Through this course, students develop an understanding of how cybersecurity impacts individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center\">Course Material<\/h1>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jbabu002\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40878\/2026\/02\/BABUMBA-JESHIAH-Write-up_-The-CIA-Triad-1.pdf\">Write-Up: The CIA Triad<br \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>This assignment explored the CIA Triad as the foundational model for protecting information systems. It also examined the difference between authentication (verifying identity) and authorization (determining access permissions), reinforcing how layered access controls protect organizational data.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jbabu002\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40878\/2026\/05\/Maersk-NotPetya.pdf\">NotPetya Cyberattack (Maersk) Infographic<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>Overview<\/h3>\n<p>This project analyzed the 2017 NotPetya cyberattack on Maersk, one of the largest global shipping companies. The infographic presents a breakdown of how the attack occurred, its impact, and strategies to prevent similar incidents.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Details<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The attack spread through a compromised software update (MeDoc)<\/li>\n<li>It used the EternalBlue exploit to move quickly across networks<\/li>\n<li>Systems were unpatched and lacked proper network segmentation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Impact<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Over 45,000 computers were destroyed and 4,000 servers wiped<\/li>\n<li>Operations shut down across more than 130 countries<\/li>\n<li>The company suffered an estimated $300 million loss<\/li>\n<li>Global supply chains were heavily disrupted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Reflection<\/h3>\n<p>This project shows how a single vulnerability can lead to widespread damage. It highlights the importance of patching systems, limiting access within networks, and having strong security layers in place.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jbabu002\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40878\/2026\/05\/BABUMBA-JESHIAH-Forgiveness-Assignment-1.pdf\">Port of Antwerp Cyber-Physical Attack<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Overview<\/h3>\n<p>This case study examined a cyber-physical attack on the Port of Antwerp between 2011 and 2013. Criminal groups used both hacking and physical access to manipulate shipping containers and assist in illegal activity.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Vulnerabilities<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Weak authentication using static PIN codes<\/li>\n<li>Spear-phishing attacks targeting employees<\/li>\n<li>Lack of monitoring and detection systems<\/li>\n<li>Poor physical security, allowing unauthorized access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pwnie Devices<\/h3>\n<p>Attackers used hidden devices called \u201cpwnies\u201d to capture keystrokes and steal login information. These devices allowed them to bypass traditional cybersecurity defenses.<\/p>\n<h3>Mitigation Strategies<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Multi-factor authentication (MFA)<\/li>\n<li>Employee cybersecurity awareness training<\/li>\n<li>Network monitoring systems such as IDS\/EDR<\/li>\n<li>Strong physical security controls<\/li>\n<li>Supply chain risk management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Reflection<\/h3>\n<p>This case shows that cybersecurity is not only digital. Physical access and human error can be just as dangerous as technical vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/jbabu002\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40878\/2026\/05\/BABUMBA-JESHIAH-Write-Up-SCADA-Systems.pdf\">SCADA Systems and Critical Infrastructure<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>Overview<\/h3>\n<p>This assignment focused on SCADA systems and their role in critical infrastructure such as power grids, water systems, and transportation networks.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Vulnerabilities<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Unauthorized remote access to systems<\/li>\n<li>Weak or outdated communication protocols<\/li>\n<li>Increased exposure due to network connectivity<\/li>\n<li>False assumption that isolated systems are secure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Security Benefits<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Real-time monitoring of system performance<\/li>\n<li>Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for control and visualization<\/li>\n<li>Redundancy to maintain operations during failures<\/li>\n<li>Built-in tools like firewalls, VPNs, and access controls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Reflection<\/h3>\n<p>SCADA systems can introduce risks but also provide ways to reduce them when properly secured.
