Objectives
Research and analyze cyber security incidents
Background / Scenario
In 2016, it was estimated that businesses lost $400 million dollars annually to cyber criminals. Governments, businesses, and individual users are increasingly the targets of cyberattacks and cybersecurity incidents are becoming more common.
In this lab, you will create three hypothetical cyber attackers, each with an organization, an attack, and a method for an organization to prevent or mitigate the attack.
Note: You can use the web browser in virtual machine installed in a previous lab to research security issues. By using the virtual machine, you may prevent malware from being installed on your computer.
