Your Task

Demonstrate your understanding of key cyber security concepts aligned with learning outcomes LO1, LO2, and LO3. Identify threats, conduct a risk assessment, and produce a document tailored to non-technical business stakeholders.

Additionally, this task requires you to leverage open-source cyber security and generative AI tools, simulating real-world practices in cyber risk assessment.

LO1: Contextualise the terminology associated with cyber security for diverse stakeholders in business.
LO2: Identify vulnerabilities and threats pertaining to the IT infrastructure of organisations.
LO3: Recommend risk mitigation strategies to address cyber security vulnerabilities and threats.

Assessment Description

This assessment simulates industry practices for conducting risk assessments within a business context. You will demonstrate your ability to investigate network traffic using tools such as nmap and Wireshark, and conduct a risk assessment based on the ISO 27001 framework. Additionally, you are expected to utilise generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT or Gemini, to support and enhance your workflow.

Your final deliverable is a comprehensive Risk Assessment Report designed to assist the company's executives in strengthening their cyber security posture.

Case Study

Kaplan Care is a small medical practice comprised of several doctors and administrative staff operating in a hybrid work arrangement. The organisation’s IT infrastructure includes:
  • Patient Records Server: Runs an electronic medical record (EMR) system accessible via HTTP/HTTPS.
  • File Sharing Server: Hosts patient scans and lab reports, shared via server message block (SMB) protocol.
  • Remote Access Server: Provides virtual private network (VPN) access for remote staff.

Recently, employees of the practice have noticed several anomalies including:

  • Delayed server responses
  • Unauthorised login attempts on the VPN server
  • Suspicious outbound connections to unrecognised IP addresses
You are provided with two files:
1. xml file for nmap: Pre-generated results simulating a network scan of Kaplan Care’s current infrastructure. Includes details on open ports, running services, and detected vulnerabilities.
2. pcap file for Wireshark: Captured network traffic simulating suspicious traffic patterns like plaintext credentials, connections to unusual external IPs, and SMB traffic anomalies.

You have been brought in to assess the network’s cyber security posture, identify risks, and present recommendations. 

Assessment Instructions

1) Identify relevant threats
a. Use a generative AI tool to help you identify potential cyber risks relevant to Kaplan Care. Include screenshots of your interaction, demonstrating how you have used the tool as a brainstorming assistant, and not as the sole source of information.
b. Review the outputs and select five (5) key risks to include in your report.
c. List your chosen threats and provide a brief rationale for why each one is significant to the organisation.
2) Analyse network traffic
a. Open your xml file on nmap and your pcap file on Wireshark.
b. Examine the data from both tools to identify any evidence that relates to the risks you previously identified. (e.g., look for anomalies such as unusual ports, IP addresses, or traffic patterns that align with your selected risks).
c. Document your findings for each of the risks using screenshots of nmap or Wireshark,
and provide a brief explanation of the data the supports your findings.
3) Conduct a risk assessment
a. Use a generative AI tool to help you evaluate the likelihood and impact of each of the five (5) selected threats. Include screenshots of your interaction.
b. Validate your AI-generated results manually. Identify at least two (2) results that you disagree with, provide alternative assessments, and briefly justify your perspective.
c. Use the risk matrix below to determine the risk score of each threat.
d. Considering Kaplan Care’s Medium risk appetite, recommend appropriate controls when necessary. Align your recommended controls with industry standards, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), ISO27001, and the ACSC Essential Eight.
e. Use a table to present your findings. Your table must include the following columns:

Risk
Likelihood
Impact
Risk Score
Current Controls
Recommended Controls

Level 1
Prohibited:

No GenerativeAI allowed

This assessment showcases your individual knowledge, skills and/or personal experiences in the absence of Generative AI support.
The use of generative AI is prohibited for this assessment and may potentially result in penalties for academic misconduct, including but not limited to a mark of zero for the assessment.

Level 2
Optional:
You may use GenerativeAI for research and content generation that is appropriately referenced.

See assessment instructions for details

This assessment allows you to engage with Generative AI as a means of expanding your understanding, creativity, and idea generation in the research phase of your assessment and to produce content that enhances your assessment. I.e., images. You do not have to use it.

The use of GenAI is optional for this assessment.

Your collaboration with GenerativeAI must be clearly referenced just as you would reference any other resource type used. Click on the link below to learn how to reference GenerativeAI.

https://library.kaplan.edu.au/referencing-other-sources/referencing-other-sources-generative-ai

In addition, you must include an appendix that documents your GenerativeAI collaboration including all prompts and responses used for the assessment.

Unapproved use of generative AI as per assessment details during the content generation parts of your assessment may potentially result in penalties for academic misconduct, including but not limited to a mark of zero for the assessment. Ensure you follow the specific assessment instructions in the section above.


Level 3

Compulsory:

You must use GenerativeAI to complete your assessment

See assessment instruction for details

This assessment fully integrates Generative AI, allowing you to harness the technology's full potential in collaboration with your own expertise.

Always check your assessment instructions carefully as there may still be limitations on what constitutes acceptable use, and these may be specific to each assessment.

You will be taught how to use generative AI and assessed on its use.

Your collaboration with GenerativeAI must be clearly referenced just as you would reference any other resource type used.
