Network access

This is monitoring internet traffic to build data on who is visiting what website this could be used to lead the user to a malicious website which could make them give out sensitive information to prevent this, the users could use a virtual private network which will prevent the intruder from tracing the user. Encryption: Intercepting encrypted information flows and trying to break the encryption this could be harmful to a business as it could allow corporate information to be compromised to…

confidential data over the network and those only authorised are granted access. This should only be controlled through environmental physical of the network. The people in Kirby College must install security systems located around the important parts of the building, as this will prevent any security servers and network breach which will stop unauthorised users. The security level must be configured on users account so that staff and students in Kirby College can only access certain…

Logical Access Control Introduction The purpose of logical access control is to manage access to information in a way that: System is protected from unauthorized access Accidental damage from authorized user is minimized All Users have access to appropriate resources. The confidentiality and integrity of information in ABC Company are kept. This section addresses the logical access control requirements for All Users, and all assets of ABC Company, which include but are not limited to network…

The policies also specify what network resources users and devices are allowed to access once they are on the network. This is one of the most critical areas for PCI DSS compliance. Network Sentry enables organizations to create extremely granular access policies, applying the Who, What, Where and When of network access. For example, a sales associate using a POS terminal may have permission to access one set of network resources while a vice president of finance with a laptop…

application level gateways; and circuit level gateways. Similarly, the IPS systems are either host-based or network-based. Host-based IPS is used to protect against the modification of system resources, exploits related to privilege-escalation and buffer-overflow, e-mail contact list access, and directory lookup. On the other hand, the network-based IPS is used for identifying malicious network packets, and assists in pattern and stateful matching, and protocol, traffic, and statistical anomaly…

environment there are several factors that need to be considered when designing a computer network. Integrity and vulnerability of data, cost of the network itself, accessibility, flexibility for expansion and ability to support the consumer. Other factors that should be considered when setting up a network include: What is the purpose of the network, what are the bandwidth requirements to efficiently operate the network and service clients, what kind of systems does the client want supported…

According to Turner and Weickgenannt (2013), there three major control concerns related to databases, and such as: Unauthorized access, adequate backup of the data, and data integrity. To prevent a data breach and exposing sensitive information, the company should develop an automated security system through IT compliance control. It can be done by implementing log-in procedures…

Nonetheless, an increase in the growth of the company will require more specialized employees. For instance, the company will need to have system analysts, programmers, database administrators, project leads, system administrators, IT managers, network administrators, and help desk technicians (Norton,…

Network intrusion takes place when an outside entity gains access to a prohibited network without authorization. A secure computer or network system should provide data confidentiality, data and communication integrity and assurance from a denial of service attack (Mukherjee, Heberlein, & Levitt., 1994, p.28). Network intrusion can have huge effects on an organization as data can be stolen, modified or erased, and equipment or programming can be harmed or annihilated. Organization in the…

which will allow user access to the company network. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) capable cards should not be used. While they are more convenient for access control than swipe cards, an attacker can scan and capture the identification information provided by the RFID chip without having to have any physical contact with the ID card, and use that information to gain access [43]. Employees who require privileged access to administer devices and services on the network, should be…
