There is nothing more important in any business than securing your network topology from hardware‚ design and software. This plan is called network hardening and this plan needs to be incredibly detailed with how the network will be secured in each area. The first step to the network hardening plan resides in how you will build the network and then from there how you will secure each section of the network. This paper will discuss access control measures‚ encryption‚ PKI‚ certificates‚ OS hardening

Executive SummaryThe objective at hand was to build a network from the ground up. This was accomplished by breaking down all of the sections and building upon all previous assignments. This was a good course as I learned a lot about all of the different sections of building a network. The pros are now I know how to build a network on the design side from the ground up. I learned quite a bit about using a lot of the technologies associated with networking and it allowed me to learn quite a few new

Network security concepts Network security starts with authenticating‚ commonly with a username and a password. Since this requires just one detail authenticating the user name —i.e. the password— this is sometimes termed one-factor authentication. With two-factor authentication‚ something the user ’has’ is also used (e.g. a security token or ’dongle’‚ an ATM card‚ or a mobile phone); and with three-factor authentication‚ something the user ’is’ is also used (e.g. a fingerprint or retinal scan)

Introduction Network architecture is a combination of topology and protocols. In this paper‚ I will discuss topology‚ which is the defined as the shape of a network or how a network is laid out. Topology also consists of how the different components or nodes of a network are connected and how they communicate with each other. Topologies are either logical or physical. In addition‚ in the sections of this paper‚ I will compare and contrast some different conventional architecture and what types of

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance. However‚ simple CSMA is susceptible to the hidden node problem‚ especially in so called ad hoc networks where a node may communicate directly with every other node in range or using intermediate nodes as relays otherwise. Hidden nodes cause costly packet collisions and thus significantly affect network performance. In order to combat the hidden node problem‚ a mechanism known as Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) handshake is often used. RTS/CTS

Wireless Network A wireless network‚ as its name would suggest‚ is a network of computers and computer peripherals that are connected to each other without wires. This enables ease of communication‚ especially for mobile computing platforms. Further‚ there are a number of other advantages to a wireless network that make them increasingly common in both the workplace and at home. Nearly all wireless networks in the world work on a standard set up by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Definition of Enterprise Resource Planning Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP is actually a process or approach that attempts to consolidate all of a company’s departments and functions into a single computer system that services each department’s specific needs. It is‚ in a sense‚ a convergence of people‚ hardware‚ and software into an efficient production‚ service‚ and delivery system that creates profit for the company. While the idea is easy to grasp in theory‚ the reality has been different

Network Hardening Unit 8 Assignment 1 It is very important to go through the process of hardening. Hardening is where you change the hardware and software configurations to make computers and devices as secure as possible. I picked the network layout 1-the workgroup . First with the workstations and laptops you need to shut down the unneeded services or programs or even uninstall them. I would also have some good anti-virus software on the workstations. You also need a hardened image for

Computer Networks Does anyone really know what networking is? “In the world of computers‚ networking is the practice of linking two or more computing devices together for the purpose of sharing data” (Networking Fundamentals). Now this is a great explanation but does this really help us understand? Networking has grown over many years. Where did networking come from? Lets go back to the beginning and find out how far we have come. Network research can be traced back to around the 1960’s.
