2CYBER SECURITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROPOSAL
Introduction:
PureLand is one of the Wastewater Treatment Plant which employs the ICS or the
Industrial Control System. The organization has been associated with finding the fact that
they are present in the wrong side after the DHS or the Department of Homeland Security
find out the ICS is not adequately protected against any kind of cyber security threats and
vulnerabilities. DHS also found out that the organization is not enough cybersecurity for the
chemicals as well in order to make the trade secrets secure.
Current status:
Currently the organization is not having any type of comprehensive mechanism for
cybersecurity. This initially opens up the door for the attackers to gain an entry and stole their
secrets. Besides this the organization also lacks a strong cybersecurity for the chemicals
which initially makes their trade secrets prone to cyber-attack. Additionally, there is no
antivirus for protection and the network is not having suitable asset tracking and management
capability. This give rise to numerous security related loopholes.
Weakness in the network:
There exist several weaknesses in the network of the system. For example, in front of
the router there exist only one firewall. There should exist at least two firewalls. The network
also lacks a network intrusion detection or prevention system which makes eth network
incapable of detecting any kind of suspicious activities. Other weaknesses include the
absence of proper protection for he critical systems like the servers. Besides this there also
exist the possible threats like access to the network by anyone internally as well as remotely.
