Firewall

discuss the software and hardware needed for security and functionality of the network at each location. Firewalls Any connection to the internet has some risk of attack from external sources, which means our proposed setup introduces this risk at each Kudler location. To mitigate this risk, we can use a combination of software and hardware firewalls to protect the Kudler network. Hardware firewalls “provide a first line of defense against common forms of attack coming from the outside world.”…

a) Defense in Depth is the multi layer approach to security. Defense in Depth is one of the major parts of the security architecture. In order to achieve this one organization must implement multiple layers of security controls and safeguards represented in policy, training and education, and technology. Policy is important since it prepares the organization to handle attack proper way, and in combination with technology and training and education can provide a proper defense. Training and…

Threat 5 - Most operating systems have a firewall to block unwanted network traffic and software being installed on the computer...The workstations need a software firewall configured to protect the workstations from unauthorized users and programs. A firewall will monitor inbound and outbound communications, and it should block any communications that were not initiated by the workstation. Likelihood of threat 5 - The likelihood of the threats from a firewall not being installed are high…

process of filtering logs and viewing reports. According to Chris, “not knowing which applications were running on the network is a big hole—particularly when it is at a remote site where there is typically less control. With the Palo Alto Networks firewall, we are able to identify the exact application running on the network, all the way down to the user identity. And as needed, we can implement policy controls to protect the network.” Chris concludes, “we have deployed a single security…

transition mechanisms that support both IPv4 and IPv6 such as, tunneling and dual-stack configurations, have some security consequences. Also, many of the network devices such as IDS (intrusion detection system), IPS (intrusion prevention system), and firewalls require a special security mechanism to support and accept this…

will describe: Firewall configuration, Audit logs, Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Anti-virus, software updating, username and password and backup. Firewall configuration – Every computer or any another device that has an internet connection and does not have any essential protection is much more resistant and this may lead to get infected by malicious infections. Firewall configuration is very vital to secure transfer of data. By having a good configured and fresh updated firewall, it will…

The purpose of this paper is to describe the network configuration, explaining the role of each component and connection of the scenario provided. Specifically, I will discuss the functions of the components and describe how they contribute to the network. Along with this I will modify the appropriate components of the provided database with the information regarding the employees’ computers and the upgrade. Network Configuration Network configuration allows a system admin to set up a network…

What is a social engineering attack? What is a phishing attack? How do you avoid being a victim? Social engineering attack is when a person uses their social skills to obtain information about the organization or computer system. A phishing attack use email/websites to get personal information to gain access to the organization. You can easily avoid being a victim by verify identity with the company. Before revealing information about the organization. Make sure you are certain that the person…

geographically wide areas. A network usually has several computers on the network and they are usually connected by a communication device such as a router or a switch these are also known as Network devices. These type of devices include routers, firewalls, gateways, switches, hubs, to create the local area networks. Network devices allow computers to talk to other computers outside of their network or LAN. The LAN or “local area network” is a network that connects computer and devices that…

The best way to evaluate a denial of service (DoS) incident is to base it on the incident analysis that was previously done. From the analysis we had gathered valuable information and this is my evaluation. After getting complaints that the network was running slow I immediately started to do an incident analysis to find out what was happening (Tipton & Frause 2007). So, I decided to use the National Institute of Standards and Technology methodology to seek the answers. Using the Detection…
