Intrroduction to Network Security CompTIA Secuirity +Points: 125 Assignment – Create a Security Proposal Outcomes addressed in this Activity: Summarize security guidelines and best practices Examine the various security topics from a network administrator’s perspective Use the chapter in the textbook as a reference Identify operational and organizational procedures and techniques to protect, assess, and audit network systems. Instructions In this assignment you create a security proposal that include the four areas shown below. This proposal offers the Web Site 101 organization some of the security policies they require. You can use the information in answers you submitted for your Unit 6, Unit 7 and Unit 8 essay questions. Review the requirements and the format below. Each area should be at least a half page. To: Mr. Ross, CISO Web Site 101 West Branch, IN 55545 From: XXX Security Consulting, Inc. Mr. Ross: As we discussed previously, this document includes our recommendations for just a few of the security policies that would be useful for your organization. These recommendations are written in a form that will be approved by you and your management and are intended to demonstrate what is needed, not how the policies will be implemented. Procedural documents which will provide step-by-step directions on the implementation of the policies will follow the approval. Due to the time restraint and the increasing focus on vulnerabilities in your security structure, this document only covers four of the areas that will eventually have written security policies. Please be aware that the information contained in this document is confidential and should not be circulated to anyone who does not have a security position with your organization. Based on our assessment, these four areas will require security policy approval: I. Authentication Authentication – the use of a system to allow user’s access to a computer or network based on three factors: something you know, something you have and something you are. Purpose: (goals of this policy) Scope: (what the policy covers – personnel, resources, etc.) Roles/Responsibilities: (how will it be administered, responsibilities for compliance) Sanctions/Violations: (what happens when the policy is violated) II. Threat Assessment and Testing Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Scanning – the use of software tools to evaluate the network’s vulnerability to attack. Purpose: (goals of this policy) Scope: (what the policy covers – personnel, resources, etc.) Roles/Responsibilities: (how will it be administered, responsibilities for compliance) Sanctions/Violations: (what happens when the policy is violated) III. Data Security – Certificate Management Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) – the management of digital certificates used in the encryption of the company’s sensitive data. Purpose: (goals of this policy) Scope: (what the policy covers – personnel, resources, etc.) Roles/Responsibilities: (how will it be administered, responsibilities for compliance) Sanctions/Violations: (what happens if the policy is violated) IV. Auditing Auditing – the process of ensuring policies are enforced including user access and rights review, privilege auditing, usage auditing, escalation auditing, administrative auditing, and log file auditing. Purpose: (goals of this policy) Scope: (what the policy covers – personnel, resources, etc.) Roles/Responsibilities: (how will it be administered, responsibilities for compliance) Sanctions/Violations: (what happens when the policy is violated) Mr. Ross, we will cover other areas such as perimeter security, device security, environmental security, etc. in subsequent documents.
