    Project Background

    Company ABC holds personal identifiable information of millions of its


    Australian customers and are facing nation-wide backlash after it was
    revealed that a disgruntled employee successfully performed a social
    engineering attack, which led to the release of more than 1 million
    records/data with confidential customer information (including bank
    details, home addresses and medical records).
    In this project, you will be playing the role of cyber security consultants
    and you have been employed by WeCare to research on social
    engineering and its role in compromising the core principles of information
    security (CIA). You will be reporting to the CISO of WeCare. To complete
    this project, you will be required to:

     Divide into groups of 4. Groups must be from within your tutorials.


    Your tutors can help with group formation.
     You might like divide the tasks where each member of the groups
    focusses on one of the following: confidentiality, integrity,
    availability and project management
     Choose a social engineering attack (e.g., phishing, pretexting,
    tailgating) and investigate how it can impact the chosen aspect of
    information security from different aspects i.e. confidentiality,
    integrity and availability
     Prepare a 4-5 minute video presentation to share your findings,
    including attack techniques, consequences, and potential
    countermeasures. This video must feature all the members of the
    group in some aspect.

    (In the guest lecture, EY will discuss effective countermeasures and


    prevention strategies against social engineering attacks. Engaging
    students in a discussion about the importance of user education,
    security policies, and technology solutions in mitigating social
    engineering risks)
     As individuals, write a 200 word reflective report summarising what
    you have learned about the impact of social engineering on
    confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

    Students will be assessed based on their group video presentations,


    individual reflective reports, active participation in discussions, and their
    ability to apply the principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability
    to real-world social engineering scenarios.

    The project will not only enhance students' understanding of social


    engineering but also highlight the critical role these attacks play in
    compromising the core principles of information security. It will promote
    critical thinking, teamwork, and practical knowledge relevant to their
    future careers in cybersecurity or related fields.

    The top 5 video presentations will be shared with the EY Team for internal
    review. (Reviewed by Senior staff and/or a selected Partner/s).

    Submission Details:

     Video recording presentation, uploaded as a private video on


    UNSW learning management system. More information will be
    provided via Moodle.

     Reflective individual report summarising what you've learnt


    about the impact of social engineering on confidentiality, integrity,
    and availability. This will also need to be uploaded to Moodle.
    Marking:
    The video and the individual self reflection will be marked separately
    using the rubrics provided. The weightings of the marks are as follows:
    - Group video: 80%
    - Individual self-reflection: 20%
