Discuss at least three specific types of attacks that can occur.
Learning Goal: I’m working on a cyber security writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.Unit 6 Assignment: Wireless Sensor NetworksOutcomes addressed in this activity:Unit Outcomes:Distinguish appropriate cybersecurity standards that are specific to wireless infrastructures.
Distinguish mitigations for wireless security risks and threats.
Course Outcome:IT545-4: Analyze cybersecurity risks or vulnerabilities within wireless, mobile, and cloud infrastructures, as well as disruptive technologies, to develop effective cybersecurity solutions.PurposeThe purpose of this assignment is for you to evaluate security issues in a specific wireless sensor network and make recommendations to mitigate the security risks and threats.Assignment InstructionsYou are a cybersecurity consultant. You have been asked to consult with the CIO of a large agricultural company who is going to implement a new wireless sensor system to measure humidity, rainfall, soil conditions, crop readiness, and disease detection.
Assume the following:All of the servers that communicate with the sensors and store and retrieve data will be housed in a cloud environment.
All sensors (nodes) are outside and have little to no physical protection.
The nodes run on batteries.
The nodes communicate using radio signals.
The sensor devices must communicate with each other and with the main servers in the cloud.
Based on this week’s readings and your own research on the Internet, prepare a report for this CIO that discusses the following:unique security principles for this type of wireless sensor network,
the types of attacks that occur in sensor networks
attacker motivation for these sensor networks
Discuss at least three specific types of attacks that can occur.
Through research on the Internet, determine what you believe will be a good approach to securing this wireless sensor network that will address the unique security principles discussed.
Propose a cybersecurity strategy to the CIO to protect this agricultural wireless sensor network.
