Abstract— the network has become an important component of an organizational business process hence its management must be as secure as possible. Administrators are, hence, faced with the challenge of securing the network. Network security encompasses monitoring and securing the enterprise. The network security comprises of a system that keeps track of the status of a range of elements within a network. Enterprises, therefore, monitor, lock and secure their domains to ensure their security and possibly prevent cyber-attacks. In Enterprise Network Management, even the latest and greatest network hardware and software won 't help your enterprise much without the right network management security system to administer the enterprise’s network. As the enterprise network grows, it is important to choose the best Enterprise Networking security that will not only network tasks and optimize …show more content…
Easy information access also opens the door to numerous security threats. The job of the enterprise network management team is to detect and respond to all the potential threats in a quick and decisive manner. While most network security systems can do this, there are some disadvantages associated securities in network …show more content…
If network security operations are inherent in the technical operations groups, the job of the network management team becomes one entirely of influence. After installation, the security procedure tends to control the subsequent network management operations with care not to interfere with the network security detail. The management team may, therefore, turn their attention from managing the network to managing the influence of the network security detail. In such a case, the enterprise network can become vulnerable to threats and attack can occur without the team
Fourteen years ago on a Tuesday was one of the darkest days in America. September eleven was one of the most horrific disasters in American History. At exactly eight forty six in the morning, the whole country woke up. This act of terrorism caused President Bush to enact the Patriot Act of 2001. The Patriot Act is important for the citizens of the United States because it helps prevent terrorism, protects American liberty, and does not prevent free speech.
Even if the Patriot Act was formulated to serve as a tool to prevent future terrorist activities, there are major sections in the Act that seem to infringe immensely on 21 the rights of individuals. Evaluating major parts of the Act, I have shown that substantive rights under the Constitution seemed have been disregarded because of the cry of terrorism. When looking at such a complex issue one needs to simply conduct a balancing test to weigh out the costs and benefits of such an act. The benefits that the government seem to give for the Patriot Act is that it will act as a deterrent for terrorists who plan to plot another terrorist attack against the American people. This is when the costs start to play in. The more the government seeks to
September 11, 2001 was a tragic and historic day for America. Anyone alive can recall exactly where they were and what they were doing when they learned of the terror attack. Emotions, heartache, and scars ran deep and they had a lasting effect on the hearts and minds of Americans and America’s allies. On top of the massive loss of life America felt something that it never felt before, vulnerability! Swift action was taken by the American government and unprecedented powers were used by then President George W. Bush. America became a safer country almost immediately. A sleeping giant was awakened and it was angry.
On the day of September 11th, 2001, in the heart of New York City, America panicked as a plane crashed into the Twin Towers. In that moment, every American paused, stricken with fear, as the Twin Towers came crashing down. It was as if someone took a remote and just paused time in America; thousands of people stood frozen. Then came the chaos as the people and the government broke into a panic. President George W. Bush knew things needed to change after 9/11 as the attack on New York showed (how about this, the ineffectiveness of the measures taken to provide safety and security to the citizens of America) how insecure our American Homeland Security was. People identifying with the terrorist group of Al-Qaeda snuck through US airport security
It’s 9/11 and all you hear is cries from the people, while the Twin Towers crumbled down, the Pentagon engulfing in flames, and flight 93 crashing in a field. 19 men hijacked four commercial airlines. This terrorist attack on the United States was led by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. A total of 2,977 people were killed in New York City, Washington, DC and outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania, it was the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. This day in history damaged not only the nation, but the people. Citizens were in fear of what could happen on top of all the commotion. The Patriot Act was made to secure the nation, and help people recover from the terrorism attack of 9/11. Some people may think the Patriot Act had no effect on major things. However some people think wrong in the matter. George W. Bush’s enforcement on the Patriot Act of 2011 majorly effected local enforcements, federal agencies, and military regulations.
Security helps the organization meet its business objectives or mission by protecting its physical and financial resources, reputation, legal position, employees, and other tangible and intangible assets through the selection and application of appropriate safeguards. Businesses should establish roles and responsibilities of all personnel and staff members. However, a Chief Information Officer should be appointed to direct an organization’s day to day management of information assets. Supporting roles are performed by the service providers and include systems operations, whose personnel design and operate the computer systems. Each team member must be held accountable in ensuring all of the rules and policies are being followed, as well as, understanding their roles, responsibilities and functions. Organizations information processing systems are vulnerable to many threats that can inflict various types of damage that can result in significant losses (Harris, 2014). Losses can come from actions from trusted employees that defraud the system, outside hackers, or from careless data entry. The major threat to information protection is error and omissions that data entry personnel, users, system operators and programmers make. To better protect business information resources, organizations should conduct a risk analysis to see what
In this case analysis the pros and cons of remaining with government-operated airport security, versus returning to privately owned and operated security organizations will be evaluated. Prior to 11 September 2001, when travelling by commercial airlines, bags were placed on the scale; the ticket agent simply asked you if your baggage has been in your control the entire time. Once you received your boarding pass you passed through a metal detector and then proceeded to your gate for departure. Following the events of 11 September 2001, that all changed.

This is only a small part of the prevention of infiltration of your network and computer. If one desires to learn more, go above and beyond and continue to learn on how to keep your network secure.
A security certificate is like a special deportation warrant in which the Canadian government can deport any “non-Canadians” who they feel are a threat to Canada and its citizens. An example of this would be anyone that the Canadian government feels is involved with a terrorist group or organization will be deported using a security certificate. Some pros to the security certificate are it will help the Canadian government better protect Canada by deporting anyone who poses a serious threat to Canada, and its citizens. Another pro is it limited in use as security certificates have only been used 27 times since 1991, meaning the powers of the security certificates have not been abused as of yet. It is somewhat fair to the person a security certificate
Due to their complexity and importance to information security, two security systems, Network Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (NIDPS) and Security Information and Event Management systems (SIEM), will be explored in this paper. Both have multiple functionalities, including threat-detecting capabilities, and are widely considered essential tools for adequate network defense, particularly in the goal of fortifying valuable assets in the face of an advanced threat. Understanding these systems is vital for any security operation tasked with defending significant networks.
When the entire body of knowledge concerning passwords is evaluated a few things become abundantly clear. First, passwords are going to be around for some time yet. There simply are no present alternatives that are cost competitive with passwords or that users can adopt in a successful manner. While it is certainly a noble effort to explore replacements for passwords, we cannot refuse to acknowledge their continued existence in the foreseeable future.
ABSTRACT : This paper describes the basic threats to the network security and the basic issues of interest in designing a secure network. it describes the important aspects of network security. A secure network is one which is free of unauthorized entries and hackers. INTRODUCTION
Copyright alludes to the lawful insurance for individuals who express thoughts and data in a mixed bag of structures. The most widely recognized structures take after the information sorts that are utilized as a part of mixed media framework: composing, visual pictures, music and moving pictures. PC programming is likewise ensured by Copyright laws.

Corporate Networks in organisations can be complex structures that “requires a great deal of attention” (Clemm 2007). Even small companies can have quite complex networks that are a considerable investment to the business. The notion that corporate network management is a cost to a business rather than a continual beneficial investment is a naive assumption that requires further investigation to the benefits that network management brings. Clemm (Clemm 2007) states in his text that the ultimate goal of network management “is to reduce and minimize total cost of ownership”, improving operational efficiency and lowering cost. Clemm (Clemm 2007) also notes that “Network Management is not just related to cost and quality”, which will be an continual concept presented throughout the report. The report will address key issues with corporate network management and ultimately argue and justify that corporate network management must be seen as a positive benefit to the business and not as a continual expense. The supporting articles will also provide sound evidence that networking is crucial to a business’s processes and production which can be seen from the OpenSSL Heartbleed Security vulnerability fiasco (Nieva 2014) or the QANTAS Amadeus system failure (Heasley 2012).
Network management planning and security planning involves identifying the best and most appropriate systems and hardware that the firm can use to better manage network and plan security systems. Therefore, the management required me to examine the best software and hardware systems in the market place that the company can adopt to enable it to manage the network and security. The management required me to advice on the implementation procedure of various plans that are going to be adopted. My responsibility also involved finding out or predicting the impact of the plan on the future operations. They required me to evaluate the challenges the company might face while adopting the changes in the network management plan and security plans.
