o Consider the hardware and software solutions deployed today in the context of defense-in-

depth.

o Elaborate on why these devices are not successful against the APTs.

 

Part 4: Machine Learning and Data Analytics

o Describe the concepts of machine learning and data analytics and how applying them to

cybersecurity will evolve the field.

o Are there companies providing innovative defensive cybersecurity measures based on these

technologies? If so, what are they? Would you recommend any of these to the CTO?

 

Part 5: Using Machine Learning and Data Analytics to Prevent APT

o Describe how machine learning and data analytics could have detected and/or prevented the

APT you analyzed had the victim organization deployed these technologies at the time of the

event. Be specific.

 

Part 6: Ethics in Cybersecurity

o Do you think the vulnerability(ies) exploited by the APT constitute an ethical failure by the

defender? Why or why not?

o For the APT your group studied, were there identifiable harms to privacy or property? How are

these harms linked to C-I-A? If not, what ethically significant harms could result from the

scenario your group researched?
