***COMPLETE PART 2 ONLY, IT WILL THEN BE COMBINED WITH THE OTHER PARTS***Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have been thrust into the spotlight due to their advanced tactics, techniques, procedures, and tools. These APTs are resourced unlike other types of cyber threat actors.Your chief technology officer (CTO) has formed teams to each develop a detailed analysis and presentation of a specific APT, which she will assign to the team.Scenario:“Thanks to all of your efforts, we have significantly increased our reach, accessibility, and presence on the web,” says Eliza, your CTO.“But,” she adds, “this also increases the chance that our company will be a target for hackers and online attacks. If we are going to move forward, we need to anticipate those problems before they happen. In particular, we are especially worried about advanced persistent threats (APTs). I’m looking for as many ways to ward these off as possible, so I’m setting up teams to assess how APTs have operated, what they will look like in the near future, and what countermeasures we can implement against them.”“I want this on my desk in two weeks.”This is a team assignment, and the team members that were selected by the instructor in the previous assignment will work together. It is up to the team members to decide who is responsible for contributing to the sections of the paper. Remember, if a member fails to complete his or her part of the work, the team is still responsible for all sections.Note that you are required to complete a peer review for yourself and for each member of the team.

If so, what are they? Would you recommend any of these to the CTO?Part 5: Using Machine Learning and Data Analytics to Prevent APTDescribe 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 specificNotesUse additional sources of information but also describe the concept in layman’s terms.Use visuals where appropriate.While quality is valued over quantity, it is expected that a quality paper will result in a minimum length of 10–15 pages.You will be assigned an individual grade for this assignment based on your contribution to the overall project.HOW WILL MY WORK BE EVALUATED?The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.2.1.3: Explain the significance of the issue or problem.4.1.1: Establish a collaborative approach for working together as a team.4.2.4: Prepare a finished teamwork product.10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.12.6.1: Identify the controls needed for confidentiality.12.6.2: Identify the controls needed for integrity.12.6.3: Identify the controls needed for availability.12.7.2: Explain the process of analyzing IT incidents.14.1.1: Explain how ethical principles used in the information technology industry apply to the welfare and safety of stakeholders and society.
