Case Study: FinSecure Corp Security Incident
FinSecure Corp discovered that an HR workstation (10.1.1.45) was infected
with a variant of the GhostX Remote Access Trojan (RAT). The security logs
revealed the following timeline of events:
- 09:50: IDS alert showing an outbound connection from 10.1.1.45 to a
known malicious IP address (45.33.122.88) on a custom high port.
- 10:07: IT administrators disabled the network switch port for workstation
10.1.1.45.
- 10:45: IDS alert showing SMB traffic from 10.1.1.45 attempting to access the
Finance Database Server
(10.1.2.10).
Environmental Context:
1. The organization relies on a single internal switch for all departments (HR,
Finance, IT).
2. The perimeter firewall uses a rule that allows all outbound traffic (Rule:
Source Any, Destination Any, Service Any, Action: Allow).
3. Customer PII and financial records are stored in cleartext within a
relational database on the Finance Server.
4. Access logs show that user P. Ellis, who was terminated two days prior,
successfully logged into the system using remote access credentials the
same morning.
A Under the (ISC)² Code of Ethics, which canon must a security
professional prioritize above all others?
A Advance and protect the profession.
BAct honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally.
