Earning Criteria
-
Use virtualisation technologies to configure a basic network, then secure that network by implementing user, group, and password policies, configuring local and remote access controls, and scheduling regular security and maintenance tasks.
-
Work in teams in a scenario-based simulation of an attack on a virtual machine (VM). Students take the roles of penetration testers and security operations centre (SOC) analyst. Demonstrates the use of Kibana to analyse the attack and the interpretation of log data to suggest mitigation measures.
-
Work in teams to implement the alarms and thresholds determined effective in Project 2 and test the alerts by attacking the original VM and two other vulnerable VMs. Use Wireshark to analyse live malicious traffic on the wire and verify that the rules work as expected. The project culminates in a group presentation.
