...1. Disruption prevention - This is an approach to protect the entire device. A majority of well-known Internet security software falls into this category. They are designed to prevent a broad array of malicious attacks. The goal of device disruption prevention is to identify and prevent viruses from reaching the device, protecting personal information from identity thieves, and eliminating the threat of malware. 2. Important File Protection - Along with this approach, it is also important to add protection for specific valuable files. The well-known Internet security software tends to focus on mission-critical files whereas this type of file protection focuses on data important to the user. This includes family photos, music, documents, and financial records. Once accessed by a malicious hacker, these files present a serious Internet privacy risk. They are not only used for identity theft, but also social engineering schemes such as targeted phishing. 3. Active Internet security - This type of protection is designed to be used anytime a device is connected to the Internet. This includes Wi-Fi hotspots, hotels, airports, and even at home. This layer of security is focused on protecting data as it is transferred to and from the user’s device. The most common way to achieve this is by encrypting data and using secure connections. 4. Active Online Interaction Protection - Online interaction protection is a critical layer of defense against identity theft and social...

...Project Part 1: Multi-Layered Security Plan When creating a multi-layered security plan, I would look at all seven domains of the IT infrastructure and then increase the security on each of those domains because that will increase the security for the whole plan. In the user domain, this is the quickest way for the system to be compromised the users. So I would implement complex passwords including eight or more characters, both upper and lower case, and use of at least one special character. Passwords will also need to be changed every 90 days and the same password cannot be used again for three calendar years. In the workstation domain, I would make sure that each workstations, whether desktop or laptop has some security on it like antivirus and malware protection installed. Laptops can be very vulnerable for loss or theft, which would make me install an encrypted hard drive so if it is stolen the data can only be retrieved by the owner. For the LAN domain, just train all users about email scams. I would guess that most users know not to access suspicious emails when on our system but I would still implement to the users a quick training course. Then I we should add spam filters this will help get rid of most of the junk email. In the LAN-to-WAN domain, we need to shut down the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server we have running and switch it over to use secure FTP so that only users allowed on our system can access our FTP server. In the WAN domain, we...

...Project Part 1 Multi-Layered Security Plan | NT2580 | | James Maus | 8/21/2015 | In the process of emerging a mulit-layered security plan, you will need to see the seven domains of the IT set-up. The security will be increased on each of the domains. Security increase on the seven domains increases complete security of the system and build a mulit-layered security plan. Only the users can negotiate the system in the user domain. Easy passwords can cause a lot of problems so we will need to use difficult passwords with eight characters and up. Passwords will include special characters with capitals and lowercase. A limit to how long you can use the password and to only a one time password use. Workstations will have antivirus and malware protection installed. Since laptops are very weak and easy to get lost or stolen, the companies will have a converted hard drive so only the owner can recover the data. On the LAN domain, you should never open any scam emails when on company systems. To reduce email malware, you should add spam filters to stop junk email and reduce employee mistakes. On the LAN to WAN domain, we should switch the FTP to secure FTP so only our suers can have access to the FTP server. On the WAN domain there should be firewalls put in place on the network to filter inbound traffic. In the case of the Richman investments, network of\ any kind of traffic that is coming in and out is not needed will be stopped by a firewall. Reference Courtesy of...

...Project Part 1: Multi-Layered Security Plan when developing a multi-layered security plan, you must look at each of the seven domains of the IT infrastructure and increase security on each of those domains. Increasing the security on each of those seven domains will increase the overall security of the system and create a multi-layered security plan. In the user domain, one of the easiest ways for the system to be compromised is through the users. Simplicity of user’s passwords can be a major problem so we need to implement complex passwords including eight or more characters, both upper and lower case, and use of at least one special character. Passwords will need to be changed every three months and the same password cannot be used again for one calendar year. In the workstation domain, we need to make sure that each of the workstations, whether desktop or laptop, has antivirus and malware protection installed on them. Laptops are very vulnerable for loss or theft, so all company laptops should have an encrypted hard drive so that if they are stolen, the data contained on them is not recovered by anyone but the owner. For the LAN domain, we need to have training about email scams. Most users know not to access suspicious emails when on our system but a quick training course will help. Also, adding spam filters will help gets rid of most of the junk email, so there is much less risk of employees opening emails containing malware. In the LAN-to-WAN domain, we need to shut down...

...Into To security Project Part 1: Multi-Layered Security Plan: As part of my report, below is my outline for Richman Investments Multi-Layered Security Plan: User Domains: Since Users can access systems, applications and data depending on their roles and rights, an employee must conform to the staff manual and policies also known as the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). The department manager or human resources manager is usually in charge of making sure that employee and in certain cases third party vendors, contractors ect sign and follow the AUP. To ensure that these threats and vulnerabilities can be avoided, a good policy would be to conduct security awareness training, update the employee manual and discuss the handbook, during performance reviews, disable internal CD drives and USB ports and enable automatic antivirus scans for inserted media drives, files, and email attachments, and lastly restrict access for users to only those systems, applications, and data needed to perform their jobs. Workstation Domains: These users configuring hardware, ensuring that all computers have the latest software revisions, security patches, and system configurations. To ensure that there are no threats with our software, enforce defined standards to ensure the integrity of user workstation and data, enable password protections on workstations for access, and auto screen lockout for inactive times, use content filtering and antivirus scanning at Internet, define workstation...

...include software engineering and learning systems. Mojgan Mohtashami, Thomas Marlowe, Vassilka Kirova, and Fadi P. Deek Collaborative software development involving multiple organizational units, often spanning national, language, and cultural boundaries, raises new challenges and risks that can derail software development projects even when traditional risk factors are being controlled. This article presents a framework that can be used to manage collaborative software development projects, based on an extended set of risk management principles. Three risk factors — trust, culture, and collaborative communication — are discussed in depth. OLLABORATIVE SOFTWARE DEVELOPment (CSD) entails multiple teams, working for multiple organizational units within the same or different companies, and no clear central authority. Software development in such an environment often crosses national, linguistic, and cultural boundaries and requires changes in the nature of risk management. Risk management is a routine practice of software development and project management. It deals with anticipating, preventing, and mitigating problems arising in the software product, project, or process, including...

We need to take a hard look at our current configuration of host, services and our protocols within our organization. Data from a large number of penetration tests in recent years show most corporate networks share common vulnerabilities. Many of these problems could be mitigated by appropriate education in “hacker thinking” for technical staff. We will take a look at our security on routers and switches to make sure there are no leakages of data traffic. OBJECTIVE We have identified that we have loss some major accounts to competitors whose bids have been accurately just under our bid offers by exact amounts. We also believe due to shared reporting and public Web site functions that our Web servers have been compromised and our RFP documents have been leaked to competitors which enabled them to under bid us. We want to mitigate Web threats in the future; we realize the web is a mission critical business tool. We want to purchase new products and services, that will give us an edge and better...

This design includes the infrastructure for the corporate headquarters located in San Francisco, as well as the other design centers in Detroit, Paris, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo. We then follow up by explaining the infrastructure of the sales offices, which may not require as high grade of equipment as the design centers depending on its requirements. Finishing with the overview of the entire wide area network, connecting each site to the corporate headquarters which is where we will begin our design. The corporate office being the main headquarters will include many services such as file, print, email, directory, and application. These services will be separated onto at least two different servers due to the constant strain we may see from directory and email services.
