    Network: The network should be designed with security in mind. Its structure must support the company’s policies, relevant laws and regulations, without impairing the organization’s ability to conduct business. The network should be logically and physically separated into distinct and manageable security zones. Traffic between the security zones must be inspected and filtered, to ensure that only authorized network use is permitted, and all access is recorded for future auditing. Multiple devices and methods should be used to ensure security across all parts of the network. In preparing this recommendation, network security design principles have been drawn from the Cisco SAFE Reference Guide [33] and the Council on CyberSecurity’s Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense Version 5.1 [34].…

    However, users of networks are expecting more from networks when compared to the early days when a network was meant for e-mail and resources sharing e.g. printers, files etc. Today, businesses depends mostly on networks for the purpose of transacting their business such as video conferencing with partners abroad, web-based order entry, payment processing and customer relationship management, to name a few.

    Corporations today budget for the purchase of extra servers for the main servers for their organization. These extra servers are configured so that they will automatically take over functionality if the main servers stop processing services due to outside attacks or even hardware failures. Any event or transaction that occurs in the main server is continuously replicated to the hard-drive memory of the redundant servers. This replication allows for either server to take control when one of them fails. The dis-advantages for this concept is the extra cost of equipment, additional maintenance, and the need for constant testing in order to verify functionality in case of emergency.…
