The Johnson Company is a small business that provides networking components and services. They are in need of new methods of communication for reaching out to new customers, standing out from other businesses, meeting existing customer needs, and keeping customers informed of news and updates. The Johnson Company still uses analog phone lines and still takes customer orders by hand. Their only current method of advertising is an ad in the yellow pages. They have reached out to our IT consulting firm to help them update their current business processes and communications…
Windows Hardening Defense, starts with the basics, Log in with least amount of privileges. Always use Firewall and AV. Monitor channels for security advisories and alerts. Know your system(s). Patch early and patch often, Unpatched Systems are the lowest of low hanging fruit. Have a patch policy documented and stick with it. Review patches as they are released and determine criticality based on the exploit, threat footprint for your system(s), and whether or not there is a POC or fully weapon exploit in the wild. When possible, test patches before rolling out in production on servers. Most clients should have automatic updates enabled for the OS and any application listening on a socket or used with untrusted data (java, adobe, browsers, etc...) Servers should be updated during maintenance windows if possible and depending on criticality (of threat and server).…
My defense plan at AHC will include a counter attack from external and internal threats; the vulnerability and security threats that exist inside AHC IT infrastructure. In order the deal with these kinds of threats, we will need to train and create and incident report and handling plan with our IT management. I will also help them to create and implement a more secure and dependable Disaster recovery plan that will be available somewhere offsite. My team will setup an incident guideline and procedure that AHC can follow whenever the system is breach or any kind of natural disaster occurred. Some of these examples are Malware, viruses, worms, Trojans and hacking attacks take place or security breach from an inside employee. The external attackers can be counter by our Intrusion detection systems but can be block by our firewall and Intrusion prevents systems. We will fortify our application securities as well with the implementation of a strong access control list. This is an outline we will Use TCP/IP and IPsec filters for defense in depth. Configure IDS to prevent information disclosure through banner grabbing. Use IDS that can be configured to pick up foot printing patterns and reject suspicious traffic. You can put tight constraints on user inputs. But the best method of preventing SQL injection is to avoid the use of dynamically generated SQL in your code. Instead use stored or canned procedures. Raising security awareness also help members of an organization possess regarding the protection of the physical and especially, information assets of that organization. Many organizations require formal security awareness training for all workers when they join the organization and periodically thereafter, usually annually. I will set the router and firewall ACLs to block all inbound access that is not specifically required, especially to the windows specific ports. Always ensure that…

For this kind of scenario, I would have to create a server from scratch so I can be able to identify any types of vulnerabilities on any of these server requirements stated below. Any of these can be at risk at any time, so creating a new server from scratch would be most recommended. Because it is kind of safer than Windows because most viruses and worms are written for Windows but it doesn’t mean Linux can be attacked.…

If I could start a business I would start a lawn care and services business because I enjoy gardening, working outside. With a lawn care service it is a stable and a repeat business, for the customer that do not have time or just do not want to do there on lawn. For those customers from late spring the early Fall they will need their lawns mowed once a week, making for a stable business. There will be some challenge in starting this business, lawn care has many competitors. Just by doing a web search for lawn care services there were multiple pages some are well known and others are may you of one or two persons. Then there is the expenses of starting up, equipment and a way transport the equipment insurance on vehicles, equipment and employees. Also insurance that would cover damages that may occur during your services. During the startup customer base may be low, because people do not know the company. The strategies for overcoming these challenges would be to start with a good business plan, with doing this I would ask for help from people successful in business. There are many websites one of them is SBA.GOV which is the U.S. Small Business Administration. As for obtaining a customer base, advertisement with the use of social media and creating a website, use Craigslist attend lawn and garden show and pass out flyers and business card, make use of Groupon. Based on the business plan if it would be a good idea to purchasing an existing business, this could provide both customer base and equipment. Also for the customer base I would place bids on city property that had to be taken care of and contact with other small business owners. The desired outcome of this would be to provide a service that is needed and own a business that is well known and respected. That the business would grow from a small to a medium size company and never lose site customer relationships and customer satisfaction.…

The potential user groups and users of WLAN in a school environment would be District office and administration can streamline procedures. Classroom applications can track each student’s progress to facilitate reporting, provide up-to-date student information on hand held computers, respond to emergency situations, and handle disciplinary incidents, security enforcement, and parent communications. IT department can optimize performance and cost savings. WLANs can accommodate rapid expansion, which is particularly important for schools using mobile classrooms, which can make wiring very challenging. WLANs are also more economical than traditional wired connections, especially where wired connections would be prohibitively difficult like, schools that have no space for computer labs or that anticipate future renovations that would require rewiring in classrooms. Teachers can be more proactive and accessible. WLAN access increase interaction between teacher and students; complement classroom instructions with online applications including digital whiteboards and online testing; real time access to administrative resources and design curricula that better meets individual learning styles Students can learn more efficiently. WLAN provides the opportunity for more free flowing collaboration among peers, with teachers and digital resources and the Internet. While higher education deployments focus broadly on delivering high-performance, pervasive wireless coverage across large campus environments, K-12 schools with tighter budgets and limited IT resources tend to deploy wireless to support specific mobility applications, such as mobile carts, wireless IP telephony, video surveillance, mobile classrooms, and so on. In order to support these and other emerging wireless applications for example, educational videos, location tracking, and cafeteria point-of-sales systems, schools need a wireless infrastructure that can deliver reliable performance in dynamic, high-density…

Treats that this company is vulnerable to are but not limited to tornado, malware, equipment failure, stolen data, DoS attacks & social engineer. The like likelihood of each is moderate to high. Headquarter is located right in tornado alley. Since this building house all three serves, a direct hit would result in a total loss. Since the users connect to the LAN with Windows Vista which is very outdate the risk of malware is also high. Along with having all three servers in a central location, there is no mention of any backup locations or even if a DRP is in place. Therefore equipment failure (loss of data) is very high. There is a mention of a direct attached storage but it appears that there is no AUP in place. This means everyone has access to the data. Stolen confidential data of a customer is a serious and costly risk. There is no mention of any firewalls in place. If the servers are not protected by firewalls or intrusion detection systems can result in loss of availability. Users and social engineering is the weakest and easily the most vulnerable. Lack of access controls and security awareness can result in serious loss of confidentiality and hackers are real threat in today’s world. With the sales people accessing the network through a home office and share internet connection with headquarters, this is the bulk of the concern.…
