Documentation: In this lab, I try to use as much of the same password as possible even though that’s one of the worst practices from a security standpoint. In this lab, I made three VMs (PFSense Router, RHEL 7 for the monitoring server and another separate RHEL 7 for the Wiki server).

The passwords for accessing the infrastructure as follow: •…

factors used to determine a user’s true identity gives a greater trust of authenticity (Rouse, n.d.). In this case with Padma Santhanam, if the company had been using milti-factor authentication, he would not have even been able to just give her password and ID to another user and compromises the entire Linen Planet network. With milti-factor authentication, each added factor increases the reassurance that an individual involved in some kind of communication or requesting access to the system…
