TechWidgets Inc., is an e-commerce company that provides merchandise to its customers through a web store. The core infrastructure is made up of 10 web servers in a single cluster to handle browsing requests, 5 servers in the web store clusters to hand transactions and processing and a data cluster stored on a storage area network (SAN). The core network is connected to the internet via 2 high speed connections (T-3) from two different providers. This infrastructure is replicated in the organization's alternate hot site for immediate failover in the event of a disaster to prevent any unscheduled downtime as well as being able to appropriately load balance any spikes in activity that would provide a less than adequate shopping experience for customers. The primary data center is located in Los Angeles, California and the hot site data center is located in Atlanta, Georgia. Although the cost associated with this configuration is high, it is the best way to provide the continuity of the business in the event of a catastrophic event such as a fire, flood or an earthquake.

Assessment of Security Security and control within an organization is a continuing concern. It is preferable, from an economic and business strategy perspective, to concentrate on activities that have the effect of reducing the possibility of disaster occurrence, rather than concentrating primarily on minimizing impact of an actual disaster. This phase addresses measures to reduce the probability of occurrence. Security assessment of the
