National Cyber-security and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) 113th

-

113th Congress Bills in the 113th Congress have been more limited in scope than those in the 112th. H.R. 3696 and S. 1353 would establish a process led by NIST like that created in Executive Order 13636. H.R. 3696 and S. 2519 would provide statutory authority and stipulate responsibilities for the National Cyber-security and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), which was established by DHS in 2009 under existing statutory authority to provide and facilitate information sharing and incident response among public and private-sector CI entities.43 S. 2519 was enacted in December 2014. H.R. 3696 would also give DHS responsibility for coordinating across (Critical Infrastructure) CI sectors on cyber security activities, providing incident response to assist CI entities, and promoting the development of cyber security technologies. 

The major point brought up above is sharing incident response plans among public and private-sector Critical Infrastructure entities. 

It should be required in order to maintain mission-critical services and to protect assets and data in the event of a cyber-attack or other malicious activity.

Chain of Custody - OJ Simpson case

Research the OJ Simpson trial. How do you think chain of custody was handled? What should have been done differently? There was a lot of doubts due to the amount of evidence that was collected but not actually recorded using the chain of custody. This resulted in theories being created which claimed that the police and scenes of crime officers were actually planting evidence, an example of evidence that was collected but not recorded in the chain of custody would be the drops of blood that were found at the crime scene which scenes of crimes officers thought was OJ Simpsons, it was later found that test tube filled with blood was not sent straight to the lab for inspection, it was left at the police station for many hours before actually making its way to the lab to be analyzed which further increased suspicion that evidence was being tampered with.  Everything from the crime scene should have been documented and added over to the right personnel in charge and for the time sensitive sa

File Carving or Data Carving

What does the term "data carving" or "file carving" really mean? What are the implications of carving with a large distance (in bytes) between the header and footer? Is it feasible for a malware author to create their own file format, hide the file on a system, and use carving to extract it?   File carving is the process of reassembling computer files from fragments in the absence of file-system metadata.  File carving is a well-known computer forensics term used to describe the identification and extraction of file types from unallocated clusters using file signatures. A file signature, also commonly referred to as a magic number, is a constant numerical or text value used to identify a file format   ("Data Carving", 2018) .   Since File carving   is usually done by examining the header (the first few bytes) and footer (the last few bytes) of a file, larger distance between the footer and header will affect the amount of data recovered during  the process

  What is Data Mining? Data mining is exploring and analyzing big data in order to uncover concrete patterns and rules layman’s it a process used to extract usable data from a larger set of any raw data.. Data mining techniques are used in the development of machine learning ( ML) models that power modern artificial intelligence ( AI) applications such as search engine algorithms and recommendations.   Examples include; Fraud Detection and Prevention E-mail Spam Detector Database Marketing & Marketing Credit Risk Management & Scoring Healthcare Informatics Describe the privacy issues associated with data mining. One of the data mining challenges is Privacy and security. (Microstrategy, 2020) defines data mining as a powerful tool that provides businesses with compelling insights into their consumers. However, at what point do these insights infringe on an individual’s privacy? Organizations must weigh this relationship with their customers, develop policies to benefit consumers
