...Scenario 1: (DAC) Discretionary Access Control. Being that the business is small and not in need of higher security measures, it would be the easiest to maintain and monitor for a small business. Scenario 2: (MAC) Mandatory Access Control. The employees primarily communicate using smartphones; which proves as a possible security risk. MAC is stronger than DAC but, still easily monitored for a small business; which makes this the top choice for Top Ads. Scenario 3: (RBAC) Role Based Access Control. With the company being as large as it is and the employees traveling and/or working from home, the roles set by a Security Administrator would be the most secure and efficient way of providing different levels of clearance to individual users. It would take time to start from nothing but, once the security measures are in place it would be easy to monitor and to manage. Scenario 4: Content-Dependent Access Control. Since everything that the company does depends on the individual material being manufactured the above Access Control type should be apparent. Giving permissions by what is contained in each individual file is more costly but, a lot more secure. It also allows the company to monitor the data sent less as each document is given its own set of roles. Scenario 5: (RBAC) Role Based Access Control.

...1. RAS server provides the most secure method for remote access to the network if it is reburied. 2. Never allow client computers on the network to answer remote access connections. 3. Organize all remote access servers in a centrally controlled location. 4. Servers have no need to originate dial-out connections (Except when using telephone lines as low cost WAN connections, but these connections should be relatively permanent). 5. To simplify security administration, allow only one method of remote access into the network. 6. Remote access control procedures must provide adequate safeguards through robust identification, authentication and encryption techniques. 7. Carefully consider the wisdom of providing cellular telephones and modems for use with laptop computers. This technology isn’t usually justified considering the relatively modest increase in productivity compared to the cost and the security risk of a lost laptop. 8. Consider using only the NetBEUI protocol for remote access to limit the extent of intrusions on the network. 9. Control the distribution of remote access software on the network. Never allow client computers to run remote control software. If remote control software is necessary, run the software from centrally controlled computers or thin-client servers. 10. Disable dial-in networking, except in the cases of trusted individuals or to special computers,because dial-in networking can bypass regular network security. ...

...that have internet access. Discretionary Access Controls should be used in this scenario because the company is small and not in need of high security environment. This solution is the simplest to maintain and monitor for a small business. 2. Top Ads is a small advertising company consisting of 12 computers that have internet access. All employees communicate using smart phones. Mandatory Access Controls should be used in this scenario because the employees primarily communicate using smart phones, which opens up a security risk. Mandatory Access Controls are a step up stronger than Discretionary Access Controls, but are still relatively simple to monitor for a small business. 3. NetSecIT is a multinational IT services company consisting of 120,000 computers that have internet access and 45,000 servers. All employees communicate using smart phones and e-mail. Many employees work from home and travel extensively. Role Based Access Control should be used in this scenario because this is a large company with employees who travel and work from home. The roles should be controlled by a Security Administrator who could provide different levels of security to individual users. There would be some overhead in startup to get up and running but once in place this should be easy to manage. 4.

...just incase something happens with the network Richman can know exactly when, where, and more details of how this incident transpired. Authorization- Richmann’s investments have to clarify and make known the rules as to who and what computers can gain access to the network resources. I would be best to create a group membership to help avoid accidents within the network. The administrator can assign different users to different group within the network ensuring that everything is place as he/she wants it. The users’ access would be based upon what group they are in that was put in place by the administrator of the network. Authentication- When a user try’s to get into the network system there must be proof in order to enter the network. Some people may think there is a lot of security to enter and access parts of the network but it is better to be safe as possible as a hacker taking or corrupting all the information causing a major or a possible critical problem. Accountability- Users will be held accountable and responsible for anything they do within the network system. I suggest using logs files that information is kept and users have to log in on a daily bases. Using a log book can help prevent, detect, or monitor access to the network...

Which types of logical access controls should be used in each scenario? Justify your recommendations. Scenario 1. - Discretionary access controls I s a small company consisting of 12 computers only DAC allows each user to control access to their own data and is typically the default access control mechanism for most desktop operating systems. Scenario 2.-Role-based access control Because RBAC is based on a user's job function within the organization to which the computer system belongs. Scenario 3.-Mandatory access controls Because how big is the company MAC takes a hierarchical approach to controlling access to resources. Under a MAC enforced environment access to all resource objects (such as data files) is controlled by settings defined by the system administrator. As such, all access to resource objects is strictly controlled by the operating system based on system administrator configured settings. Mandatory Access Control the operating system checks the user's classification and categories and compares them to the properties of the object's security label. Scenario 4.- Mandatory access control The design of MAC was defined, and is primarily used by the government.

...Unit 1 Assignment1: Adding Active Directory Robert Hanke ITT Tech IS3340 Windows Security Dr. Joseph Martinez 3/27/14 Unit 1 Assignment1: Adding Active Directory Currently, system administrators create Ken 7 users in each computer where users need access. In the Active Directory, the system admins will create Organizational Groups (OU). These OU’s can then can have restriction or Group Policy Objects (GPOs) put in to place that will restrict what a user can and can’t access. An organizational unit is the smallest scope or unit to which you can assign Group Policy settings or delegate administrative authority. Using organizational units, you can create containers within a domain that represent the hierarchical, logical structures within your organization. You can then manage the configuration and use of accounts and resources based on your organizational model (techNet, 2005). With the users assigned to group accounts or OU’s, you can use to assign a set of permissions and rights to multiple users simultaneously, along with making any changes that are needed to individual users. Computer accounts provide a means for authenticating and auditing computer access to the network and to domain resources. Each computer account must be unique. Once the conversion has taken place, the local users on the client computer will not be affected during domain join. They can still logon on the local machine. Meanwhile, on domain controllers, during the Active Directory Installation...
