...Network Access Control, no matter what architecture you select, you definitely want to start by building a small interoperability lab. In this white paper, we’ll give you some advice on what to think about before you get started, and outline what resources you’ll need to have in place in order to begin testing. Any NAC deployment must start by answering three critical questions: 1) What is my access control policy? 2) What are the access methods (such as LAN, wireless, or VPN) I want to protect? 3) How will this integrate with my existing infrastructure? Once you answer these questions, you can begin to gather test lab resources, such as servers (for policy definition points), laptops or desktops (for network access requestors), and switches, access points, and VPN servers (for policy enforcement points). Getting Started with Network Access Control What is my access control policy? NAC is a generic concept that deals with defining access controls based on user authentication, end-point security assessment, and network environmental information. That’s too big for most network managers to bite off in a single chunk, so many NAC deployments hone in on a subset of these goals and expand over time. You’d be wise to do the same---trying to do too much too early in the lifecycle of this emerging group of products will lead to undue frustration and unnecessary complexity. To start, you should define a simple network access control policy. It is important to define your access control...

...What is Access? Simple databases store information in only one table. These simple databases are often called flat file databases, or just flat databases. More complex database programs, such as Access, store information in multiple related tables, thereby creating what are referred to as relational databases. If the information in a relational database is organized correctly, you can treat these multiple tables as a single storage area and pull information electronically from different tables in whatever order meets your needs. Tables are one of the types of database objects you work with in Access. Other types include forms, queries and reports. Of these object types, only tables are used to store information. The others are used to enter, manage, manipulate, analyze, retrieve, or display the information stored in tables—in other words, to make the information as accessible and therefore as useful as possible. Table – data storage, the actual location of data Forms – used to enter, to change or to delete data Queries Reports Starting Microsoft Access If you are using an IT Services machine, login as usual by entering your username and password.

...Access fee Access fee can be defined as the base monthly fee paid by dedicated server customers excluding any other fees (i.e. it excludes charges for managed services etc). For other customers access fee is the base monthly access fee for the appropriate service and excludes other fees (e.g. local loop, burstable bandwidth etc). Access charges are fees paid to local telephone companies by residential and business customers who want their telephones connected to public long-distance network, and by long-distance carriers who want their services linked with their customers’ telephones. A long-distance call originating from a home or office must go through the local telephone company’s facilities to get out onto the public long-distance network, and, at the destination, it must pass through another local telephone company’s facilities to get through to get to the recipient’s home or office. In effect, local telephone companies are the telecommunications equivalent of toll booths in the highway transportation system and they incur certain costs in building and maintaining the facilities needed by long-distance customers and carriers. Access charges paid by those customers and carriers represent payments for use of the telephone company facilities and to help it recover the costs of building and maintaining the local network. There are three types of access charge: end-user, switched and special. End user charges are paid by all residential and business customers in the...

...In computer security, access control includes authentication, authorization and accountability. In access control models, the human users or software which execute actions are defined as subjects; while the resources or whatever which are intended to be protected from illegal access are designated objects. Authentication is the process of verifying the credential provider claiming who he or she is. Before a subject open an account in online retailers or financial service firms, there is an initial step knew as identity proofing. That is, the subject must provide enough information to assert who you are. Right now there are three kinds of identity proofing , from simple to complex but with security assurance ascending. They are showed as follow: 1. Classic knowledge-based authentication (KBA), such as simple questions of “what is your favorite fruit”, which is easy to guess and the same to fraud. 2. Dynamic KBA. Instead of raise up questions predefined by the subject, the system generates questions on the fly based on the information in a subject’s personal aggregated data file from public records. To initiate the dynamic KBA, basic identification factors, such as name, address and date of birth must be provided by the subject. 3. Out-of-band proofing, which verify identity through other means such as SMS or a phone call rather than web channel. The credential used to identify the subject includes: 1. Something the subject knows, such as Personal Information Number (PIN) ...

Broadband Internet access indeed is the most used system of access to the Internet due to its fast access speeds. The two trends this paper discusses is mobile broadband and cable connection. Mobile broadband and cable broadband services both allow Internet users to get their Internet-ready devices online. While both cable broadband and mobile broadband connect to the Internet, there are differences in the way these two services work. The type of service that is best for one person may not be the best choice for another, particularly if a user travels a lot. Cable Internet services guarantees some restriction in regards to where a subscriber is able to connect to the Internet. Mobile broadband services allow individuals to access Internet anywhere at any time. Both mobile broadband and cable broadband services allow a user to create a network that connects other Internet users nearby. With a wireless router, cable broadband users can connect any Internet ready device within...

...In scenario one, I would think that one of the most important would be software controls so that you know what your employees of such a small business are doing. You would want to make sure that they are being productive and not taking out any of your customers’ sensitive information. Most likely you would store your vendor’s information, purchase orders, and customer’s information. This might include account numbers, or contact information that you wouldn’t want just anyone to get a hold of. Therefore you wouldn’t want to allow anyone to cause you to lose this information by causing your network to get a virus. Even more simpler than that would be due to the fact you are as small as you are, you most likely don’t have a administrator present all the time, and would have to contract out someone to come fix the network if some sort of attack was caused by loading unapproved software onto the system. In scenario two, I believe that you would have similar needs of above, but also would want to have some more in depth administrative controls on the smartphone side of business. You wouldn’t want someone to have something unprofessional on the voice mail of the phone, or even downloading applications that would allow the company to lose money in wages from employees not utilizing the resources that are given properly. In scenario three, you would want emphasize on the physical end of the security. I believe this because with 120,000 computers and 45,000 servers, you have...

... Access Control Policy Student Name: Christopher Waller University of Phoenix IT/244 Intro to IT Security Instructor’s Name: Romel Llarena Date: May 13, 2012 Access Control Policy Due in Week Seven: Outline the Access Control Policy. Describe how access control methodologies work to secure information systems 1 Authentication Describe how and why authentication credentials are used to identify and control access to files, screens, and systems. Include a discussion of the principles of authentication such as passwords, multifactor authentication, biometrics, and single-sign-on. Authentication credentials really help control access to sensitive data or systems by making it literally to get unauthorized access to them. Passwords and usernames are a good way to start because if you use those rights then these are hard to bypass, but multifactor authentication is a more efficient way for secure access. Triple authentication requires something you have, something you know, and something you are such as a keycard, password and a fingerprint. 2 Access control strategy 1 Discretionary access control Describe how and why discretionary access control will be used. Include an explanation of how the principle of least privilege applies to assure confidentiality. Explain who the information owner is that has the responsibility for the information and has the discretion to dictate access to that information...
