The CIO has tasked you with proposing a series of hardware and software controls designed to provide security for the LAN-to-WAN domain. The CIO anticipates receiving both a written report and diagram(s) to support your recommendations.
Write a three to five page paper in which you:
- Use MS Visio or an open source equivalent to graphically depict a solution for the provided scenario that will:
- filter undesirable network traffic from the Internet
- filter Web traffic to the Internet that does not adhere to the organizational AUP for the Web
- allow for a zone for anonymous users but aggressively controls information exchange with internal resources
- allow for an area designed to trap attackers in order to monitor attacker activities
- offer a means to monitor network traffic in real time as a means to identify and block unusual activity
- hide internal IP addresses
- Identify the fundamentals of public key infrastructure (PKI).
- Describe the manner in which your solution will protect the privacy of data transmitted across the WAN.
- Analyze the requirements necessary to allow for proper operating system and application patch management and describe a solution that would be effective.
- Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Introduction
Electronic transactions in the financial sector have exponentially increased. This has been
aided by the advancement in technology that the world is currently experiencing. People find
great convenience through mobile and computerized banking compared to traditional nonautomated architecture. However, the great convenience that has been brought by automation has
equally accompanied itself with even greater demand to secure systems from brutal attacks or
manufactured compromises of any kind. In addition, the technological space which comprises IT
infrastructure and related inventions experience dynamism both on the fronts of ensuring
improved service delivery as well as maintaining sustainability by applying standard approaches
to provide much-needed security. An institution with several branches such as the one referred to
in this paper which has fully fledged branches in the states of Virginia, Florida, Arizona, and
California must implement adequate LAN to WAN domain security controls. Below is a
graphical pres...
