Explain the immediate steps you would instruct your team to use to contain the attack, but also to maintain the service to the e-commerce site.

You are a manager of a Web development team for a fictional international delivery service. Please give your fictional business a name, and provide a sentence or two of background information about the company. Your team maintains all of the e-commerce servers, including creating and updating all of the content on the Web pages and the database that stores customer information. These are mission critical servers. 
You have 4 clustered nodes that are used for load balancing. These nodes are located in 4 cities around the globe. Two are in the USA, one is in Europe, and one is in Asia.  
The choices of cities and countries is yours: 
Node1: City___________Country___________
Node2: City___________Country___________
Node3: City___________Country___________
Node4: City___________Country___________
Each site is interconnected, and gets regular updates from the home office, located in a different city & country that you will choose.   
A TCPDUMP is scheduled daily so the team can analyze real time traffic using WireShark. A team member alerts you to a potential problem found in <NODE OF YOUR CHOICE> capture. There is an alarming amount of activities from port 40452, which shows a redirect to the index.php page instead of the login.phppage. It appears this node has been compromised with a SQL Injection Attack. You rely on these sites so you are unable to shut down all e-commerce activities. 
For this Assignment, please write a report to the new CEO. Describe your network as you have set it up. Describe your reasoning for the way you distributed the network. Then, in fully-developed explainations, address each of the following: 
  1. Explain the immediate steps you would instruct your team to use to contain the attack, but also to maintain the service to the e-commerce site.

  3. Evaluate the OWASP Top 10 2017, found at  https://www.owasp.org/images/7/72/OWASP_Top_10-2017_%28en%29.pdf.pdf and list three more  potential vulnerabilities. Provide specific mitigation strategies to address each risk.
  4. Use at least four quality references in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality references. Be sure to CITE your sources with complete functioning Web links. Note: Test the links to ensure they work before submitting your paper.
