PFA..

1 – Discussion

2 – Assignment

3 – Practical connection

it is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own career.

 Assignment: 

Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study. 

Requirements:

Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.

Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.

Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.

Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment. 

You should not, provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace.

RESPOND TO THE POST BELOW ON HOW YOU FEEL AND COME UP WITH THREE QUESTIONS AS WELL.

“Large-scale denial-of-service (DoS) attacks”

For this discussion, I selected the malicious activity of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. A DoS attack is a method of disrupting the functionality of an organization’s network or system (Morris, 2021). This is executed to prevent normal users from accessing the resources of that network, which places the network in a position where services are unavailable. A recent example of a large-scale DoS attack would be the attack targeting Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2020. In this attack, advisories targeted a user through connectionless lightweight directory access protocol reflection (Nicholson, 2023). Essentially, leveraging external servers to significantly increase the amount of data being transmitted to the target’s IP address; upwards of 70 times (Nicholson, 2023). This specific attack greatly impacted AWS, as an example noting that the largest cloud provider can be attacked and rendered nonoperational, as this attack lasted for 72 hours.

The scalable solution is a specific countermeasure AWS put into place to counter DoS attacks. In configuring your virtual infrastructure to be scalable, your resources can expand when the demand increases and consolidate when the demand decreases. This is done dynamically, making for a proactive way of ensuring DoS attacks have a smaller window to target. An additional countermeasure would be configuring a web application firewall for cloud resources. This would enable a mechanism to monitor “good” versus “bad” traffic, thus limiting your attack surface. Overall, the ultimate countermeasure is planning and being proactive with expected behavior. If organizations can conduct analysis and establish what the baseline of traffic looks like, they will be able to get ahead of suspicious behavior and limit the potential for DoS attacks.
