Courses of action tables are intended to be living documents that change as attackers evolve their attacks and incident responders mature their defensive capabilities. This activity provides you the opportunity to draft an action table from the ground up as a means of understanding the methodology. As you have learned, analyzing the purposes, tactics, and features of adversarial threats is a key step in reducing vulnerabilities and protecting assets, as well as preventing and mitigating security incidents. By recognizing adversarial effects, security professionals target their response to maximize effectiveness. In Milestone Two, you will draft section II.B of the final project: the courses of action table. This courses of action table is informed by the final project scenario. The table will include attack methods and features, detection locations and detection methods, and response objectives and methods. In examining this table, the stakeholder audience should be able to see how security measures employed by the response team align with the features of the adversarial threat. Some elements of the table have been completed for you to provide context.
