First World Bank Savings and Loans will need to have a secure file storage server. Along with a secure web server, database server. The bank will also need to provide layered security to make sure that they keep their customer confidential information from being compromised. This is an outline along with an executive summary to meet the needs. From my experience in the IT filed and what I have learned throughout my education and from making my own mistake a file server needs to have a strong antivirus program installed along with a strong firewall rules on the server. Also this antivirus program needs to run alongside the other services that are on the network while providing same time protection when working with a Samba server. In addition the virus program will need to be able to protect individual workstations. The network will need to have multi-layered protection for the file servers that is running the Linux OS. The antivirus program needs to protects the server in real-time. Throughout my career in the IT I filed I realized that having a strong firewall rule will allow and restrict users and only allowing them to view their data. Hackers or hacking programs will have a hard time to manipulate or viewing the data through the web Interface. You will need to have access to the various files on the file system. This will be accomplished through Network File System NFS which is accessed by using the Secure Socket Layer. NFS enables the remote user to mount a file system on a remote computer. The remote user will then be able access any of the files on that remote file system. The server and client do not have to use the same operating system, but the client system needs to have an NFS client that is compatible with the NF... ... middle of paper ... ...rough the client this type of attack can gain unauthorized access to a database.("DB Attacks," ) Other type of attacks that can be used against a database is a user getting another privilege user writes. Also social engineering is another way for unauthorized user can get access. To combat these kinds of attacks the administrator needs to train all user on different types of attacks.

Unauthorized users may access the database, or users authorized to access part of the database may be able to access parts of the database for which they lack authority. For example, a low-level user could get access to national defense secret codes, or employees could find out what their supervisors earn (which is presumably a secret).
Security of the companies data is one of the most important components which allows the business to perform its day to day operation using various networking devices, services that absolutely needs to be protected from intruders. Some of these devices include online transactions, the exchange of data between users and clients both internal and external and external web data needs to be secured. There are several polices that would need to be configured such as a web sever and firewall configurations. However, with these configurations the first and most important task is to identify any vulnerabilities or loopholes in security within the company. The company has both LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and a web sever. These resources need to be secured at all times from hackers or anyone else by implementing the appropriate security measures.
Business ventures can benefit from virtual firewalls to protect access and data at lower costs than traditional methods. It is also beneficial to have an experienced security professional who is aware of your security needs. Virtual security involves the use of advanced controls such as a virtual switch to protect against malicious attacks coming from unverified sources. Applications are isolated to make them untouchable by malware, viruses and even applications that may stop execution (Marshall, 2011).
The firewall is commonly the first line of defense in the layered security structure. Also known as a broader sentry. “The firewall protects the internal network from unauthorized access from the internet, but also has the ability to protect internet from rogue users or applicatio...
Jalal Hafidi MIS5206.001– HDFC case analysis 1 1. What, if anything, should HDFC do to make existing customers more secure? First of all, all systems can be compromised no matter what, which means it hasn’t been done yet in the IT field. HDFC is still fairly new in the market, with the technology trend, online banking will be the most challenging and vulnerable part of the game. HDFC seems to have pretty strong security system and procedures, however, its models still haven’t matured yet, leading to maybe inconvenience to the customers and/or an opportunity for hackers to test and dust off their hacking skills.
A network can be based on either a peer-to-peer level or server-based, also referred to as domain-based. To distinguish the difference, a peer-to-peer network, also known as a workgroup, is a network in which a group of computers are connected together to share resources, such as files, applications, or peripherals. The computers in a peer-to-peer network are peers to one another, meaning no single computer has control over one another. There is also no central location for users to access resources, which means that each individual computer must share their files in order for other computers to have access (Muller, 2003, p.411). “In a peer-to-peer environment, access rights are governed by setting sharing permissions on individual machines.” (Cope, 2002) On the other hand, in a domain-based network, the computers connected together are either servers or clients. All of the other computers connected to the network are called client computers. The server is a dedicated machine that acts as a central location for users to share and access resources. The server controls the level of authority each user has to the shared resources. When logging on to the network, users on client machines are authenticated by the server, based on a user name and password (Lowe, 2004, p.13).
File servers are an important part of any business. The file server is the central location of files for a business small or big. The file server can be a cloud accessible server which grants accesses anywhere. The file server can also be a dedicated server which is only used on the business network. I am going to touch on the specifications of a file server. This means I am going to go over CPU, memory, bus, DMA, storage, interrupts, input/output peripherals, and monitors of a files server.
The protection of your network requires a level of network security. If you do not have security on your network, then you are capable of being hacked or receiving malware, spy, virus, and lots more. There are many programs or applications that can help detect and prevent strange activities on your computer, but there is also ways that you can help prevent anything from happening. Creating a password for your network is a good start toward protection of your computer. Try to make the password something only you would know, and maybe throw some numbers in there as well to maximize protection. It is good to know who all is on your network and internet; because if someone were to log on to your internet from a distance, they could plant viruses and other things into your files on the network. Quite a bit of problems occur in network when file sharing takes place in a work place to copy or manage files. Most of the time when this happens, no one sets the security setting up themselves,...
The packet-filtering firewall will keep out unauthorized data from entering the network and reduce the number of ports that are accessible by the users and outside threats.
There are two main types of Firewalls one is Enterprise Firewall or Network Firewall and other is Host based Firewall. Two of these are generally used to secure the system by controlling the network traffic by allowing or denying them. Their primary function is to filter the traffic. Network Firewalls are used for protecting the perimeter of network Whereas Host based Firewall protects an individual computer regardless of the network it is connected to. The primary role of firewall is to enforce security policy.
...o travel from one network to another. Banks can use multiple layers of firewalls to help prevent hackers from getting into your computer system, anti-virus software to prevent virus from infecting your computer and anti-spy ware software to prevent spy ware from collecting your sensitive data.
Not a lot of IT organizations realize what the threats to their network are. Allowing Internet access on their network exposes them to such threats that could leave them needing new hardware. It’s not only that, there are certain threats that cannot be avoided (but can have a backup plan). These threats (no matter the nature) pose a threat in terms of data loss and damage to the hardware. In terms of intrusion the frontier has changed a lot. The threats that disturbed organizations just a year ago have evolved into something much more malicious, ignoring them will be a fool’s mistake.

...of security you really need. How important or confidential is your data? Do you have network connections with trading partners that have even more sensitive data? Implement security measures in proportion to your needs.
The first online banking system was created in 1980 in New York, and was adopted by four main banks; Citibank, Chemical, Manufacturers Hanover and Chase Manhattan. The sector needed an innovation in banking systems because of growing consumer demand for service improvements as well as fear of losing market share. In the beginning, online banking was treated at private customers and small companies, to help customers have easier access to their bank accounts, however, now it achieves a global reach through the population. (Cronin 1997) In today’s world, electronic business (E-business) is very important especially for the banking system, plays a fundamental role in online banking (Nasri 2011). A true definition of online banking is difficult, because this system is connecting with different services which are constantly evolving. Access to online banking is possible through the internet, phone or even television. (Daniel, 1999; Mols, 1998). This ‘open system’ is available to the customers twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. This is a multi-level organized system, which helps people pay bills, check credit cards or even arrange mortgages without leave their houses. (Singer 2012)
