These facts drive network administrators to use innovative means with which to keep the attackers at bay. When designing a network, architects and administrators must make security an integral part of drafting the documentation, physical and software requirements that go into building a secure network. Regardless of the size of the project, a good plan should be the first step in the process. The principal question that should be asked is: What is the purpose of this network and what are the resources
and the overall security of the network area will be tested. The company is a five building campus. All five buildings, inside and outside will be tested. The perimeter of the campus will also be tested to make sure that no internet service is outside the campus. In order to complete the audit a list of all users, databases, and passwords will be needed. Access to the grounds to observe who has access to what will also be crucial. Going in and out of buildings into rooms will help identify which
company president has requested a viable solution to implement the recently purchased new building (B2) network to the existing network in a building (B1) that is 500 yards away. It was requested that the new employees that will be located in B2 have full access to all network resources in B1 including internet access. The new building will be used for research and development. The information processed in this building needs be protected and segmented from employees in B1. It was also requested that B1
the move. Simply locating a working phone jack in an airport or hotel room can be an extraordinary task. And the firewalls that keep company information secure can pose additional obstacles for those who need network access. Network administrators face their own problems as they contend with managing a mobile workforce. Opening a corporate network to mobile access can make it vulnerable to unknown security risks. Dialup charges, equipment replacement, and cumbersome billing systems strain patience
this easier than ever before. Following are some best practices for securing enterprise wireless LAN. 3.1 CHANGE THE MANUFACTURER’S DEFAULT SSID TO A ‘SECURE’ SSID To advertise the availability of the access points these were given standard network names such as Linksys, tsunami, default, etc that broadcast to clients. In order to keep this secure it should be changed immediately upon installation. When renaming the access point SSID, to make it more reliable something different should be chosen
It’s very secure, in fact it is so secure it rivals it rival wire medium; with un-imaginable 1024 bit encryption, if the encryption key is lost, the data is no good for atleast a human generation. 802.11x Wireless networking simply put, is the most adequate solution for implementing a network within typical business office. As a designer, planner and implementer of 802.11x Wireless networks, I am to argue that this awesome technology can simply replace any typical business wired network today. In
Network Security Installing firewall or anti-virus software on enterprise workstations can help prevent some of the security problems the Internet can cause; but not everything. By understanding the different Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) levels and security threats involved with each one of them, it is easier to plan a strategy to combat security problems. Purpose and Scope To cover all areas I have listed the network security measures that are associated with each level of the Open Systems
Campus wants to implement a campus wide secure wireless network. In their existing system there are some network security flaws such as rouge access point (Easily accessible open network), anyone can access and capture important information of users. We have been hired by the BYU-HAWAII to design and install a wireless network solution for the university. EXISTING SYSTEM Users-3000 User type-Students, Faculty and staff Problems in Existing system Open network (no authentication and authorization):easily
Introduction When wireless networks were first introduced, there were relatively few dangers, as hackers had not yet had time to latch onto the technology, as it was not very common. When they made it no one had any idea wireless networking would stretch so far and to so many people and so it was not create with a built in security. Then wireless technology became more popular because it allowed for mobility and so as the technology spread so did the ability to hack into them. It became much easier
several computer networking problems that the most basic user usually has on a regular basis. These range from phishing, viruses, data loss, bad or no security passcodes, disconnection from the network, and operational startup issues. All of these are, more than likely, caused by lack of knowledge of basic network setup, lack of security training, or careless keyboard frenzy. Data loss usually is rare because what most users do not realize is that the deleted files are stored in the computer systems
