Customers order a particular product and quantity from the warehouse. The WCS saves the order and provides to the customer the order number. The WCS generates a pick list and shopping label, which tells the order-picker person how many of each item to pick to fulfil the order. The order-picker picks the items, places them in the box, and places the shipping label on it. The order-picker then uses the WCS to say the order is ready and the WCS send the order number, address, and the payment data to the shipping company. At the end of the day, the shipping company arrives to pick up all the orders. Note: the document must be in MS word or PDF and must contain the step by step screen shots of the procedure you used to perform the Lab-Based Practical Task, which are well explained with figure numbers.

QUESTION(S): In response to your peers, apply a systems thinking approach and provide recommendations at a different intelligence cycle step to resolve the issue or reduce the impact of false positives or negatives.

PEER POST # 1
The Intelligence Cycle for Network Security Monitoring (NSM) is a critical aspect of protecting an organization’s digital assets. It includes steps like planning, collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, and feedback. For this discussion, let’s focus on the analysis step. In the analysis phase, data collected from various sources, including Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), are studied to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies. This step is crucial because it translates raw data into actionable intelligence. However, the effectiveness of this phase can be significantly impacted by false positives and negatives from IDS/IPS systems. False positives, where the system incorrectly identifies benign activity as malicious, can lead to ‘alert fatigue’. This is when security teams are overwhelmed by the number of alerts and may start ignoring them or may not have the resources to investigate each one thoroughly. This can lead to important alerts being overlooked and potential threats slipping through the net. On the other hand, false negatives, where the system fails to detect actual malicious activity, are even more dangerous. They represent a direct failure of the security system. If a threat is not detected, it can’t be analyzed, and therefore, it can’t be mitigated. This leaves the network vulnerable to attacks, potentially leading to data breaches, downtime, and financial losses. Therefore, it’s crucial to continually fine-tune IDS/IPS systems to minimize false positives and negatives. This could involve adjusting the sensitivity of the system, regularly updating threat databases, and using machine learning techniques to improve threat detection accuracy. This will ensure that the analysis phase of the intelligence cycle is as effective and accurate as possible, leading to better decision making and more robust network security.

PEER POST # 2
In this week’s discussion we will look at two factors “Intelligence Cycle for NSM” section and how IDS and IPS technologies help you gather data about activities in your network” and describe the steps of intelligence cycle and how IDS/IPS false positive or negative impacts. Network Security Monitoring (NSM) is a modern corporate security approach that identifies IT network breaches by gathering and analyzing security data. It links unlawful activities to established threats and prioritizes vulnerability-centric defense, detection-focused network data collection, signature-based detection, and automation-focused data collection. NSM is more effective against zero-day vulnerabilities and ensures network security.
The analysis phase of the intelligence cycle involves analyzing data to extract insights, spot trends, and evaluate potential threats or threats. This process combines unprocessed data to provide useful intelligence that can assist defense strategies and decision-making. However, IDS/IPS systems can produce false positives or negatives, which can contaminate the dataset, waste time and resources, and reduce confidence in the system’s accuracy. False positives can expose organizations to risks, while false negatives can compromise situational awareness and impair the accuracy of threat assessments, leaving sensitive data and assets open to abuse by hostile actors.

PEER POST # 1
With what I have learned with cloud-based systems and databases it can help advance my career in the IT field by helping me improve productivity. By working with AWS I was able to build my skills and knowledge and will be able to better understand what I need to do to build, deploy, and manage websites while also continuing to learn.
Cloud computing has influenced the IT field by letting companies be more efficient in how they store/access data, letting them lower costs, and optimizing their everyday operations. With IT changing all the time this will allow companies to rapidly deploy and test new applications.
With the information and skills I have learned in this course I would hope to get a better job as I advance my career in the IT field. Since I have a better understanding on how cloud-based platforms and cloud-based databases work I should be able to help a company by being able to improve productivity. By continuing to enhance my skills and knowledge I will be able to effectively utilize cloud technologies.

PEER POST # 2
Cloud computing has influenced the IT field, in my opinion, for both good and potentially bad ways. Cloud computing is very beneficial for businesses, especially ones with a larger staff base or staff not colocated together. It can also be a bit of a security issue of the business is not prepared for it by having the proper security measures. Some of the concepts that I learned from this course I can say will for sure influence my future since I am working on a project for my resume to build court notification system, knowing how to run an instance and developing the database is a keystone of the proect. If it goes according to plan, this will help fix a social and business problem that I have been passionate about which is helping those within the court system know when, where, and with who thier court dates are with and any documentation that is needed. The end goal for this project will help those be able to keep up their court appearances and ideally not return into the prison system, since no shows to court appearances are common with formally incarcirated individuals due to a majority of different reasons.
