During a large-scale cybercrime investigation, the forensic investigation team is responsible for performing detailed analysis on a variety of digital evidence. To ensure the process is conducted effectively, the team needs to adhere to recognized best practices for selecting and designing analytical methods. Additionally, the team must demonstrate that they have the necessary proficiency and competence to handle the evidence, ensuring that their methodologies are robust and their results are reliable.
Which ISO standard provides the necessary guidance and best practices for these processes, ensuring that the team’s analytical processes are both accurate and demonstrably competent?
Sarah, a security analyst, is reviewing the security audit logs from a Windows machine to detect unauthorized activities. She comes across an event with the ID 4663 in the Windows Event Viewer, which corresponds to a specific type of system interaction. After further analysis, she determines that this event is related to an activity involving critical system objects.
What does Event ID 4663 specifically indicate in relation to Windows security?
Eliana, a network administrator, is tasked with monitoring FTP traffic on her organization’s network. She suspects that there might be ongoing password cracking attempts targeting the FTP server. To effectively monitor the situation, she needs to track all the unsuccessful login attempts on the FTP server. Given the network traffic, which of the following Wireshark display filters should Eliana apply to identify all the failed login attempts on the FTP server?
John, a system administrator at a growing e-commerce company, is tasked with configuring a RAID 5 array to support the company's increasing data storage needs. He needs to set up the array using three hard drives, ensuring that the data is both protected and accessible in the event of a drive failure. While configuring the array, John needs to understand how the RAID 5 system handles data redundancy and how parity data is distributed across the drives. How is the parity data stored and distributed in RAID 5?
In the wake of a cyberattack, a large e-commerce platform experiences widespread system downtime, leading to significant financial losses and tarnished customer trust. As they scramble to regain control, it becomes evident that sensitive customer data has been compromised, posing a threat to data security and the platform's reputation.
