Exercise 3: Mitigating Risk

Secure x Design

Goals

To identify opportunities to mitigate risk.

Objectives

After completing this exercise, you should be able to:

  • Identify organization risk in a data breach situation.
  • Align risk mitigation strategies with the Cyber Kill Chain.

Introduction

In this exercise, you review the January 2013 NY Times article on the breach which occurred there during the four preceding months. Using the 5D’s (deter, detect, delay, deny, and defend), you suggest mitigation steps for each point on the Cyber Kill Chain.
