Choose a real-world case in the banking industry in America or conduct a self-initiated and managed real-world observation and investigation of a financial industry IT networking and information system, and then provide recommendations for business to improve security measurement.
For this project, students will play the role of a Cloud Security Architect, assigned to assist the organization to create a well architected cloud security environment. The client’s business is seeking to establish a secured cloud-based network and information architecture. You will devise a Cloud Security Architecture and Plan to address the needs of the organization. For the project you will leverage the NIST Cybersecurity Framework for the items to include in your plan. Additionally, you will create an AWS high level Cloud Architecture which will identify the AWS services that will be used to implement your Cloud Security Plan.
The Cloud Security Plan should include best practices from the AWS Well-Architected Framework Pillar as well as the NIST CyberSecurity Framework in the following areas:
• Identify
• Protect
• Detect
• Respond
• Recover
The following whitepaper provides guidance on the alignment of the AWS services to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework: https://d1.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/compliance/NIST_Cybersecurity_Framework_CSF.pdfLinks to an external site. . The key characteristics are the “customer responsibilities” which are the areas you (or your team) will address as part of this project.
