The purpose of the report is to assist Aircraft Solutions (AS) in indentifying the most significant Information Technology (IT) security vulnerabilities. AS products and services are at the forefront of the industry and the protection of such is very important as they are an industry leader. The vulnerabilities that will be discussed are the firewall configuration, virtualization of their hardware assets and defining security policy regarding the timeliness of firewall configuration and updates.…

One of the most important first steps to risk management and implementing a security strategy is to identify all resources and hosts within the IT infrastructure. Once you identify the workstations and servers, you now must then find the threats and vulnerabilities found on these workstations and servers. Servers that support mission critical applications require security operations and management procedures to ensure C-I-A throughout. Servers that house customer privacy data or intellectual property require additional security controls to ensure the C-I-A of that data. This lab requires the students to identify threats and vulnerabilities found within the Workstation, LAN, and Systems/Applications Domains.…

This report gives a brief description the general security solutions planned for the safety of data and information that belongs to the organization. The outline will provide elements of a multi-layered security plan, and will indicate a general security solution for each of the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure. Also I will describe a layer of security for each of the seven domains.…
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), issued by the Department of Defense, guides the content of military contracts. Federal government organizations other than the military and intelligence agencies must follow the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002. Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 200, "Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems," defines the minimum security requirements that information systems must meet. While the military does not have to follow FISMA, they do enact the security policies contained in the act. The military also implements the security controls found in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-37, Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems; and NIST SP 800-53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations. NIST SP 800-53, Appendix F, contains the Security Control Catalog. There is currently no specific law directing the information security policy content for defense contractors. However, Congress is proposing to make the policies in FISMA and the security controls in NIST SP 800-53 applicable to contractors that are awarded military contracts. Information Assurance Implementation, DoD Instruction 8500.2, states the computer network security controls required to be implemented in military computer networks (Enclosure 4, Attachments 1 thru 5). The other references noted in this paper give broad…

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Information Security policy is managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency. DISA, one of five Combat Support Agencies designated by the Secretary of Defensei, administers “command and control (C2)” functions, information sharing effectiveness, and global operational information infrastructure projects, while providing support to force warfighters, national-level leaders, and coalition friendly forces across a wide range of undertakings. DISA’s perception is to “provide information superiority in defense of the United States.”…
The scope of this risk assessment effort was limited to the security controls applicable to the <System Name> system’s environment relative to its conformance with the minimum DHHS Information Technology Security Program: Baseline Security Requirements Guide. These baseline security requirements address security controls in the areas of computer hardware and software, data, operations, administration, management, information, facility, communication, personnel, and contingency.…
1. Do you think a partnership with Product (RED) can improve Gap’s image? Is it a sign that they are making a commitment to corporate social responsibility or do you agree with critics who say their involvement is an attempt to spit-shine the company’s image while continuing to do business as usual?…
This concentration was developed in conjunction with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) providing an invaluable tool for any systems security engineering professional. CISSP-ISSEP is the guide for incorporating security into projects, applications, business processes, and all information systems. Security professionals are hungry for workable methodologies and best practices that can be used to integrate security into all facets of business operations(New Horizon,2016)…

Security is a fundamental aspect of any network infrastructure. The goal is to always have the most up to date programs and protocols to ensure the protection of the network. No aspect is too small to over look. That could mean the difference between a secure network and a compromised network. The best way to achieve this is to break down every level and approach each one as a separate entity and secure it. Then you can modify it to suit the needs of your network.…
