Step 2: Project Practice – SIMTRAY Firion: Day 1

Now that you have been introduced to an actual case of insider threats, you will practice handling insiders in a simulated environment.

The world of cybersecurity is populated with diverse people with a diversity of perspectives. Every now and then, individuals may violate certain standards of behavior or ethics. It is in an organization’s best interest to identify these people and address their core issues, either through motivation, incentives, or by developing a strong relationship with them. In the event that this course of action fails, organizations must be prepared to employ graduated adverse personnel actions.

You will learn how to resolve issues and provide a secure environment by exploring the SIMTRAY titled, “Firion: Find Your Way in Three Days.” SIMTRAY is a simulation that presents you with scenarios that will provide insight into how information security management handles various issues. Some of the issues and topics addressed in this exercise include hacker profiles, insider threats, laws concerning privacy, anonymity, and digital rights management.

The SIMTRAY will provide you with scores to give you a sense on how well you are grasping the concepts. The sections are timed for 30 minutes; however, you can run the SIMTRAY as many times as you need. Record your best score and at least one lesson learned from the exercise to include in your report at the end of the three-day simulation.
