Week 1 Task: Security Analytics Framework Design:

Your task for this week is to design a comprehensive Security Analytics Framework. This involves understanding the key components of a security analytics system, identifying the essential metrics, and detailing the interaction between different components. The framework should be enterprise-grade, and robust enough to handle a large volume of data in real-time. Your deliverable will be a DOC file containing the design of the framework along with a detailed explanation of each component, their interdependencies, and rationale behind choosing them. The evaluation will be based on the comprehensiveness of the framework, the relevance of the components chosen and the clarity of the document.

Week 2 Task: Automation Strategy for Security Alerts:

This week, you will focus on creating an automation strategy for security alerts. This strategy should include methods for automating the process of identifying, categorizing, and responding to different types of security alerts. You should provide a detailed explanation of the algorithms or techniques that can be used for this automation. The DOC file you submit should outline the strategy, steps to implement it, and potential challenges that might be faced. Evaluation will be based on the feasibility of the strategy, the comprehensiveness of the steps, and how well potential challenges are addressed.

Week 3 Task: Evaluation of Current Security Analytics Tools:

Your task for this week is to evaluate five current security analytics tools on the market. Your evaluation should include factors such as ease-of-use, scalability, real-time analysis capabilities, and customization options. You should also provide a comparison chart of these tools. The DOC file you submit should provide a detailed evaluation and comparison of these tools. Your document will be evaluated based on the depth of the analysis, the relevance of the factors considered, and the clarity of the comparison chart.

Week 4 Task: Incident Response Plan:

This week, your task is to develop an Incident Response Plan for a hypothetical security breach. Your plan should outline the roles and responsibilities, communication strategy, and the steps to mitigate and recover from the breach. The DOC file you submit should detail the Incident Response Plan, steps for implementation, and a contingency plan in case of failure. Evaluation will be based on the comprehensiveness of the plan, the feasibility of the steps, and the robustness of the contingency plan.

Week 5 Task: Security Metrics Dashboard Design:

Your task for the final week is to design a Security Metrics Dashboard that provides a real-time overview of the security posture of an organization. Your design should include key metrics that are crucial for a Lead Security Engineer. The DOC file you submit should contain the design of the dashboard, a detailed explanation of each metric, and the rationale behind choosing them. Evaluation will be based on the relevance of the metrics chosen, the usability of the dashboard, and the clarity of the document.
