Yоu аre pаrt оf the cybersecurity risk teаm at a mid-sized university with оver 20,000 students. This university operates a web-based student services portal that supports course registration, tuition payment, transcript requests, and online exam access. The system architecture includes: A public-facing web portal for students and faculty A backend academic database with sensitive student data A login system that uses usernames and 6-digit PINs An internal faculty portal with grading tools Daily database backups are stored in a shared campus file server No web application firewall (WAF) or automated log analysis tools Your team performs a threat modeling session using the STRIDE model and identifies several security issues. A qualitative risk matrix is used to determine severity: Risk Matrix Likelihood ↓ / Impact → Low (1) Medium (2) High (3) High (3) Medium High Critical Medium (2) Low Medium High Low (1) Low Low Medium Task 1: Classify the threat using the STRIDE and calculate the risk level for each one of the threats. ID Threat (STRIDE) Description Impact Likelihood Risk Level T1 The login system uses only 6-digit PINs, which are vulnerable to brute-force attacks and have no lockout mechanism. High Medium T2 Grading module allows instructors to manually modify grades without logging changes or tracking user actions. Medium Low T3 Portal URLs include student IDs and allow direct access to academic records by changing the ID number. High Medium T4 Transcript request history is stored without access restrictions on a shared drive accessible to student employees. High High T5 The student web portal has no protections against high-volume access attempts, making it vulnerable to service disruption during registration week. Medium High T6 Misconfigured faculty accounts can access administrator-only portal features. High Medium Task 2: Assign a threat treatment strategy from the following options: Mitigate (apply controls to reduce likelihood or impact) à risk level is medium. Avoid (remove the risk by eliminating the activity or system) à risk level is high. Transfer (shift the risk to another party, e.g., through insurance or third-party) à risk level is critical Accept (acknowledge the risk and take no further action) à risk level is low Justify your choice: Reference STRIDE classification and explain why that type of threat warrants the selected treatment. Propose or reference specific controls that support your decision (e.g., MFA, WAF, logging, least privilege). Your answer is the table below filled. ID Treatment Justification (STRIDE-based and control) ... ... ... Rubric Criteria Excellent (Full Credit) Average (Partial Credit) Poor (Minimal or No Credit) Points Task 1: STRIDE classification Correctly identifies STRIDE category for all 6 threats (T1–T6). Identifies 4–5 STRIDE threats correctly. Incorrect, missing, or vague STRIDE types for most threats. 6 pts Task 1: Impact and Likelihood Matches all impact and likelihood values as given; consistent with scenario. Minor errors in 1–2 fields or slightly off assessments. Multiple mismatches or missing data. 6 pts Task 1: Risk Level Correctly calculates risk level using the matrix for all threats. Some miscalculations (1–2 errors) in risk levels. Fails to use the matrix properly or shows misunderstandings. 6 pts Task 2: Treatment Decision Applies the correct treatment for each risk level (Accept = Low, Mitigate = Medium, Avoid = High, Transfer = Critical). Some mismatched treatments or inconsistent with matrix (1–2 issues). Misuses treatment strategies, ignoring risk level mapping. 6 pts Task 2: Justification (STRIDE & Controls) Justifies each treatment with specific STRIDE reasoning and appropriate technical controls (e.g., MFA, WAF, RBAC). Justifications present but generic, incomplete, or vague. Technical control mapping is weak. Missing or irrelevant justification; lacks connection to STRIDE or controls. 6 pts
