Security policies on the slide emphasize Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for least privilege and data encryption at rest and in transit. Additional measures include 24-hour incident reporting, annual audits for compliance, and mandatory organization-wide training.

Security Policies

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enforces least privilege.
• Data encryption protects information at rest and in transit.
• Incident reporting required within 24 hours of detection.
• Annual audits ensure policy compliance and effectiveness.
• Mandatory training promotes adherence organization-wide.

The slide depicts the NIST Incident Response Lifecycle as a six-phase timeline: Prepare (develop policies and train), Detect (monitor anomalies), Analyze (assess scope), Contain (isolate systems), Recover (eradicate threats and restore), and Lessons Learned (review and improve). It emphasizes proactive readiness through post-incident evaluation to enhance future responses.

Incident Response Lifecycle (NIST)

Phase 1: Prepare Incident Response Capabilities Develop policies, procedures, team roles, and tools. Conduct training to ensure readiness. Phase 2: Detect Potential Incidents Monitor networks and systems for anomalies using logs, IDS, and user reports. Phase 3: Analyze Incident Scope Assess nature, impact, and priorities to understand the full extent of the breach. Phase 4: Contain the Incident Isolate affected systems to limit damage and prevent further compromise. Phase 5: Recover from Incident Eradicate threats, restore operations securely, and validate system integrity. Phase 6: Conduct Lessons Learned Review response effectiveness, document improvements, and update policies.

The slide depicts a hypothetical SQL injection attack on a login endpoint using the payload username=' OR '1'='1'--, bypassing authentication via unparameterized queries in legacy PHP code. It details exploitation steps—logging in as admin, dumping hashed credentials with UNION SELECT, and exfiltrating 10K+ user records via DNS tunneling—resulting in PII exposure and regulatory fines.

Forensic findings identified an SQL injection payload in web server logs, with compromised Users and Orders database tables. Evidence includes unauthorized access traces via query timestamps and data exfiltration in network logs.

Forensic Findings

• SQLi payload identified in web server logs
• Compromised tables: Users and Orders databases
• Unauthorized access traces via query timestamps
• Data exfiltration evidence in network logs

The Recommendations slide proposes enhancing input sanitization against SQL injection, regular offsite backups for ransomware recovery, and advanced DDoS traffic filtering. It also recommends a prioritized action plan with clear responsibilities, plus ongoing audits and employee awareness training.

Recommendations

• Enhance input sanitization to mitigate SQL injection risks.
• Implement regular backups with offsite storage for ransomware recovery.
• Deploy advanced traffic filtering for DDoS protection.
• Develop prioritized action plan with clear responsibilities.
• Conduct ongoing audits and employee awareness training.
