Background and Statement of Need
An increasing growth of the Huffman network infrastructure and architecture requires review of existing network security hardware and software/application resources. This review will help to determine requirements for new systems and possible upgrades to protect Huffman Information Systems from exploitation and ensure security features are in place to combat increasing threats to customer information bases, industry information, technology and assets, and existing and increasing identity theft threats. Negative consequences of neglecting these information security issues can be measured in predictable loss of revenue due to identity theft, network sabotage, legal and liability fees, and commercial espionage.
Without any changes, impact to operations can be catastrophic. Critical customer and business information may be vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) and other malicious attacks. In these days of increasing identity theft, the legal consequences if customer information is not effectively protected could be extremely detrimental to Huffman business objectives.
Goal Statement / Project Objectives
The goal of the Huffman Information System Security Upgrade is to successfully implement sufficient and required security applications, processes, and measures identified in the following analysis.
The Information System Security Review will identify existing and required levels of security measures across Huffman 's Information Systems and recommend appropriate modifications and upgrades. The security features will eliminate DoS attacks on Huffman Networks and secure Huffman Information Systems and eliminate all identified vulnerabilities.
Existing security functionality will be measured by comparing performance parameters currently available in/on the existing security applications with current global standards. A determination of how much security required
