...Multi-Layered Security Plan The following Multi-Layered Security Plan outline I am submitting for approval and implementation for Richman Investments, will provide a sound security plan for the firms most important mission critical assets, identifying and reducing vulnerabilities, Risks and threats to the firms confidential proprietary intelligence, sensitive customer data and other important assets within each of the Seven Domains that make up the core for the IT infrastructure as a whole. An aggressive approach should be mapped out in a 3-5 year progressive implementation achievement plan starting with one or two security initiatives where success can be clearly demonstrated and evaluated. First, indentifying Risk, Threat and Vulnerabilities within each of the seven Domains that make-up the firms IT infrastructure. Secondly, proposed security measures and controls for headquarters and each branch office. Keeping information assets secure is challenging for any business, regardless of its size. It seems there's no limit to the ingenuity and maliciousness of today's cybercriminals, hackers and identity thieves. In fact, hackers have become so sophisticated and organized that their operational methods are similar to those of traditional software development and business practices(Symantec 2008). What's more, while yesterday's attack activity consisted of a single compromise...

The website is a key marketing tool for any company. 2. HTML is a markup language for presentation of Web pages. It determines the look and location of text, pictures, animations, and other elements on a Web page. 3. XML is a markup language for delivery of information about data communicated through Web pages. It is used to convey the meaning or content of the data. 4. Each Web page has its own URL, which contains the IP address or domain name of the site. Because the domain name must be unique, when an owner of a Web site reserves a domain name to be associated with an IP address, no other site can be associated with that domain name. 5. File Transfer Protocol 6. Instant messaging is real-time chat. It is used to form synchronized email, chat rooms and allows customers to chat with sales or support reps. Many online retailers post a special button on their Web pages that lets shoppers establish real-time communication with a sales representative.

This allows the connectivity from the Remote Ethernet Switch to be connected to the PC’s in the shipping office. Going back to the Ethernet Switch, it is also connected to a Cross Patch Panel from which an Ethernet Drop is made allowing the data to be accessed from the offices. It is important for the company to have access to all resources throughout the company. Having these connections allows it to do so. The key aspects to the network consists of Routers, Switches, Firewall, Servers, and PC’s. Amongst these, the Routers direct the data in which direction it needs to go while the Switches are forwarding the information to the devices that it is intended to go to. The Firewall is allowing certain information to be processed through to help protect the LAN from harm. The Servers are useful for storing data and allowing the users to access the resources. However, another important part of the LAN, is the PC’s that the users use in order to access such information. Creating a wireless system for Swagger Distribution is incredibly fun. Starting out with the WAN going into the computer room, there is the firewall, modem and wireless router...

...Lab 2 and Assessment 2 Unit 2 Crystal McLey Kaplan University Lab 2 The three most common risk/threats/vulnerabilities that are commonly found in the user domain are: The “domain enterprise Server Management System (DESMS) in HP-UX allows local users to gain privileges” (CVE, 2013), If the domain user logs into the domain with a space at the end of the domain name it will cause an error and wont accurately download a system policy (CVE, 2013), and the domain user or admin have a guessable password in Windows NT (CVE, 2013). In the first article it discusses the use of USB devices in the workplace. USB’s are used for transporting data from one computer to another. These allow for business requirements to be reached at a faster pace but they also pose a number of security challenges. Those challenges may be “disgruntled workers, careless users and malicious individuals” (Couture, 2009, p. 6). Ways to migrate this issue is by gluing shut the ports, disable USB ports in BIOS, prevent users from installing a USB device by denying permission on files called usbstor.pnf and usbstor.inf, making USB ports read only, disable USB ports in Group Policy, or disable Autorun (Couture, 2009, p. 11). In the second article it discusses the vulnerabilities of the BIOS. The BIOS performs power up test amongst the hardware components and memory and without this program the computer wouldn’t know what to do after it was turned on. The BIOS can be accessed by the use of backdoor passwords...

...February 4, 2013 IT/240 Domain Name When looking for a new domain name I would first start out with a search of a name that I like and would consider as the new site name. For example with the organization name being Free Flu, I would want to search that name and see what results come up. For the search I would sites such as Domain.com or godaddy.com to see if it was available to purchase. After deciding on the name of the new site I would then try find out what address is available. When researching the domain name of Free Flu .com was already taken along with .org leaving .net as the only choice. In most circumstances .org would be the way to go as the .org address was for non-profit organizations. However all three are open for any person/ company/ organization to purchase. Finally choosing the amount of web pages or web servers would depend on the size of organization. Considering it is a non profit organization that gives the elderly people with the flu vaccine I would think that they would have limited funds to pay for things like this so some sites like Godaddy.com will provide a certain amount of webpages and web hosting for a fee when you purchase the domain name. In the pages they would need mission statements, a home, and a contact page at the very least for their pages. Then the web server is there to hold all of the organizations information such as volunteers or members, names of those that get the shots, when the last time they had a shot and the next...

...ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Artificial intelligence is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956 defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines. The field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans, intelligence—the sapience of Homo sapiens—can be so precisely described that it can be simulated by a machine. This raises philosophical issues about the nature of the mind and the ethics of creating artificial beings, issues which have been addressed by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity.Artificial intelligence has been the subject of optimism, but has also suffered setbacks and, today, has become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science. AI research is highly technical and specialized, and deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other.]Subfields have grown up around particular institutions, the work of individual researchers, the solution of specific problems, longstanding differences of opinion about how AI should be done and the application of widely differing tools. The central problems of AI include such traits as reasoning...

The primary budget will define what kind of publication can take shape. If we do not have sufficient funding to pay for a hosting, a domain, we have sufficient training or to edit our pages the best choice is to use a wizard to publish a free hosting service or sponsored. The choice of site hosting quite fit with final scope of our project. If your site has dynamic pages need to have databases, but any host that suits us in terms of speed, stability and service is adequate. We must also consider other issues such as how many e-mail allows us to hold that share file transfer and offers support when implementing forms and other services such as domain aliases, sub domains, statistics, etc.. This is an example of a check list we can use to verify the publication of a web site. 1. Have I found that my domain has no previous penalties in search engines? 2. Is the domain name contains keywords useful / relevant? 3. Did I choose wisely the domain (. Com,. Net,. Org, etc ...)? Should I use a domain associated with a country (. Com.mx,. Is.

...Creating a Domain Model Option 1 POS/421 – Windows Server Networking University of Phoenix Robert Singer The hierarchical naming system for computers, known as the Domain Name System (DNS), in any source linked to the Internet or private network. This system connects diverse information with domain names assigned to each of the participants. More importantly, it communicates the domain names that humans understand into numerical (binary) identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide. An analogy used often to explain the Domain Name System is that it is like a phone book for the Internet. It translates language a human can understand to computer hostnames into IP addresses. For instance, www.example.com changes to 192.0.32.10. DNS known also as a distributed database that offers mapping between IP addresses and Host names. Using the Domain Name System it is likely to assign domain names to sets of Internet users in an important way, free of each user's actual physical location. Since this is possible, World Wide Web (WWW) hyperlinks and Internet contact information will stay dependable and unbroken even if the existing Internet routing arrangements become altered or change, or the participant uses a mobile device. Internet domain names are easier to remember than IP addresses such as 209.75.188.166 (IPv4) or 2001:db8::1f70:6e8 (IPv6). Individuals take use this advantage when they talk about...

...Q.1 Discuss the Following: * Internet Domain * A domain name is a unique name that identifies a website. For example, the domain name of the Google is "google.com." Each website has a domain name that serves as an address, which is used to access the website * Whenever you visit a website, the domain name appears in the address bar of the web browser. Some domain names are preceded by "www" while others omit the "www" prefix. * All domain names have a domain suffix, such as .com, .net, or .org. The domain suffix helps identify the type of website the domain name represents. For example, ".com" domain names are typically used by commercial website, while ".org" websites are often used by non-profit organizations * NOTE: When you access a website, the domain name is actually translated to an IP address, which defines the server where the website located. This translation is performed dynamically by a service called DNS. * Web Server * A Web server is a computer system that hosts websites. It runs Web server software, such as Apache or Microsoft IIS, which provides access to hosted webpages over the Internet. Every Web server has an IP address and possibly a domain name. For example, if you enter the URL http://www.google.com in your browser, this sends a request to the Web server whose domain name is google.com. * Any computer can be turned into a Web server by installing server software and connecting the machine to the Internet...
