Based on the premise that Richman has 5,000 employees throughout the main office and several branch offices, you must research solutions and detail the appropriate access controls including policies, standards, and procedures that define who users are, what they can do, which resources they can access, and which operations they can perform on a system. Issue two. Based on the premise that most of the managers have BlackBerry devices for instant communications and all employees are provided cell phones, you must research and detail the cryptography methods to protect organizational information using techniques that ensure its integrity, confidentiality, authenticity, and non-repudiation, and the recovery of encrypted information in its original form.

...2/21/2016 Project part 1 I do this IIS or Internet Information Services is the best choice for an application server. This is because it is a windows system. It provides a secure, easy to manage, modular and extensible platform for hosting websites, services and applications. With IIS you can maximize web security with a reduced server foot print and automatic application isolation. IIS 7.0 and up have a modular architecture. Modules, also called extensions, can be added or removed individually so that only modules that are required for specific functions are installed. IIS in my opinion will be the best choice for this server, because of all the information that I provided above, and the fact that I’m more comfortable with windows based systems. The ports that need to be open to host ftp, http, https, and streaming media are listed below. 1. FTP a. The default port range is 1024-5000, but the upper range can be changed. 2. HTTP b. Port 80 or port 8530 3. HTTPS c. Port 443 or port 8531 4. Streaming media d. Windows Media server uses TCP in ports to accept an incoming HTTP connection (80), RTSP connection (554), MMS connection (443). e. Windows Media Server uses UDP out ports 1024-5000 and 5004. Due to the design of IIS and its security features I don’t see many security concerns with having all these ports open on the same server. Although there is no way for any system to be completely safe. S 7.0 and above takes...

...they compare and contrast as far as their security and memory management. The first operating system we will compare and contrast is Windows Vista and the security features it offers. Windows Vista is an upgrade to Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000. When it comes to security and Windows vista, Windows Vista can help protect your PC and the people that use it by providing safety and many security features. One feature includes Bit Locker Drive Encryption. Bit Locker Drive Encryption is a security feature that provides data protection by encrypting all the data that is stored on the Windows Operating System. Windows Vista also has Encrypting File system available which is similar to Bit Locker Drive Encryption except that it is for user level file and folder encryption. Drive Encryption is good if you have two users sharing the same computer. Another security feature for Windows Vista is Parental Controls. Parental Controls are to protect your children and for restricting them to certain areas of your computer. Parental Controls help parents determine which games their children can play or which programs they can use even while they are away. Shadow Copy is also another feature. Shadow Copy creates copies of your files as you work so you can retrieve them in case you accidentally erase them. Shawdow Copy is automatically turned on when using Windows Vista. User Account Control is a great feature because it prevents harmful software from making...

Some of the support feature for home was easy setup, auto-configuration connections options.” It came standard with Internet Explorer 6 as the default web browser. (1)Bill Gates said, “Simply put, Windows XP is the best operating System Microsoft has ever built.” (2) “It was built on the momentum of the internet and digital media with the improvements that increase productivity and provide both business and home users with an easy to use exciting PC experience.” Windows XP Professional could either be installed on a single pc or throughout a worldwide network because it was built on a common code base. Do to this may it more cost effective for the business users to own. (3) “It was the key operating system for Microsoft to Vista was released in 2006.

...Important Features of Windows Server 2008 Before making any analysis of Windows Server 2008, it should be noted that this operating system was created to remedy most of the shortcomings of Windows Vista, above all as concerns security. But it was built on the same base code as Vista. Some of the most notable differences or improvements of Windows Server 2008 come from the fact that it “includes a variation of installation called Server Core. Server Core is a significantly scaled-back installation where no Windows Explorer shell is installed. All configuration and maintenance is done entirely through command line interface windows, or by connecting to the machine remotely using Microsoft Management Console.” The main reason Server Core was used was to address security concerns Windows Vista and other previous operating systems were plagued by. To achieve this, the server was skimmed of some of the unnecessary features such as “.NET Framework, Internet Explorer, Windows PowerShell or many other features not related to core server features. A Server Core machine can be configured for several basic roles.” Another noteworthy feature of Windows Server 2008 is Failover Clustering that provides that “most server features and roles can be kept running with little to no downtime. In Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the way clusters are qualified changed significantly with the introduction of the cluster validation wizard… The cluster validation wizard is a feature that...

...Christy Kegley IT/282 3/2/2014 Carlton Foster Operating Systems * Provide a brief history of three operating systems. The top three operating systems are; Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux. “Windows XP is the first Windows OS to allow multiple users to log on simultaneously to the OS, each with their own applications open. Although Windows XP was first released with some bugs, the second service pack (Service Pack 2) resolved most of these problems. XP underwent three service packs. It is an extremely stable OS and was popular in both the home and corporate markets” (Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC, Eighth Edition, Andrews, pg. 1116). This programs allows users to do many things that others might not allow like older versions of Windows. Windows Vista is the newest version of Windows. This program is not very popular with some people because there is a lack of compatibility with other programs, also it slows performance. “The first problem is partly caused by hardware manufacturers not providing Vista drivers for their devices that were originally sold with XP drivers. The second problem means that many low end desktop and laptop computers can’t run Vista. And the slow performance of Vista is partly due to the many unnecessary features (fluff) it offers; these features weigh heavy on system resources. Vista comes in five versions: Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate. (Vista Starter is a sixth version...

... There are definitely some potential risks and vulnerabilities with the given scenario. The first one to point out would be that they are using Windows Vista. Another issue is the VPN connection with the laptops. Issue number three would be the servers. The fourth problem I foresee is back up. The final problem I see in the network is with the ISP. This is not a very old and outdated OS, since Microsoft is still supporting it, but there are more vulnerabilities with using Vista as opposed to Windows 7. Windows 7 is also more versatile, it is able to be run on more than just desktops unlike Vista. Windows 7 is able to be used on laptops, desktops, and netbooks which Vista cannot be used on all of those. Windows 7 puts all of the security notifications and other system problems in one place unlike Vista where you have to search through the control panel to find things. Windows 7 you just go to the action center. The likelihood of there being a serious security issue with windows Vista is low for right now. Once they take Vista off of support it can possibly open up new ways for attackers to gain access to your network. The correct step to take for this risk is avoidance. Look into the cost of buying license for Windows 7 for the whole environment, that way you don’t have to worry about a potential risk of security. The second problem I see with this network is the VPN. There are users in...
