Description
The security consulting firm that you work for has been awarded a contract to implement a new IT Security Infrastructure to secure the Information Technology data assets of a local government agency. This agency has many remote workers that are in the field and need to connect back to the agency’s system servers. The remote workers use a wireless network infrastructure to connect their electronic pads to servers located within the local government’s facility. The remote workers have needs to access property records, cite zoning violations electronically, and validate building permits. The public demand to expand IT services has grown faster than its ability to provide an adequately secured infrastructure. In fact, this government entity was previously featured on the news for having minimal security controls and methods for accessing property tax information of citizens. The inadequate security allowed many construction trade businesses to illegally access property records and zoning violations. Your role in this project is to enhance and optimize the security mechanisms for accessing these systems.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
- Create an information flow diagram, using Visio or Dia, which:
- Illustrates how remote users will securely connect to the government agency’s network.
- Illustrates the patch of network devices that data packets must travel to get from server to remote user’s device and back to server.
- Provide an equipment list of network security devices that would be needed to ensure the integrity and sensitivity of private information. In this list:
- Propose at least two (2) vendor brands per each device and the associate costs required to procure these items.
- Identify the functionality each device serves and the expected benefits the government agency should experience upon the successful installation of this equipment.
- Develop a maintenance plan that should be recommended to the government agency to ensure having the latest security measures available within the network in which you:
- Describe the risks associated with not fulfilling the activities outlined within your maintenance plan.
- Indicate specific activities, personnel / resources required, and frequency of execution.
- Recommend at least four (4) physical security measures that could be developed to ensure the electronic perimeter of electronic assets.
- Recommend at least two (2) physical security vendors that could achieve the four (4) security measures you identified. Justify your recommendations with your response.
- Evaluate and consider activities that the Human Resources Department could perform in order to complement and instill security from within the organization. Provide a rationale with your response.
Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), must follow APA. Include charts or diagrams created in Visio or one of its equivalents such as Dia. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

Implementing Network Security Measures
Introduction
Security infrastructure revolves around the systems linking together to curb external and internal
risk of malicious intentions. The security of networks is of paramount consideration especially
when it involves institutions such as government agencies and huge corporations. The agency in
question is such an institution with many remote workers in the field who need connection to the
system servers. A wireless networked infrastructure is used to connect electronic devices used by
these workers to servers located at the government’s facility. The workers require access to
property records to validate building permits. Since the public demand have expanded more than
the agency’s ability to provide adequately security in the network infrastructure, there is need to
come up with more network security measures.
A few network security devices will be required which include:
•
Several active devices - antivirus scanning devices, firewalls, content filtering devices, to
block surplus traffic;
•
Several passive devices, like intrusion detection appliances to identify and show the presence
of unwanted traffic;
•
Several preventative devices – this will include penetration testing devices, vulnerability
assessment appliances to scan networks for potential security problems;
•
Several Unified Threat Management devices, like firewalls, web caching, content filtering, to
serve as security one in all devices.
•
The network security devices needed include firewalls – these are network security
systems that establish a virtual barrier between the internet ...

University of Central FL Szabo v Reliable Car Parts Corporation Memorandum
In this final communication assignment, you will persuade and non-technical audience, a jury, that the statistical analysis that you have done provides adequate evidence on the case they must determine. You must explain to a jury from the general population the case, how probability and statistics can inform it and what you found by doing your analysis all organized in a way and using language they will understand. Part of this will be explaining why this approach can be used with confidence in addressing this question. You will also demonstrate your ability to edit a professional document to assure it is clear, complete, and concise, following the direction provided in the Legal Memorandum Guide. Proofread and edit your pre-writing document for grammar and spelling PRIOR TO TURNING IT IN (you may use an external grammar tool to help with this. The Legal Memorandum Template is provided to make formatting the document easier. This example provides some insight into the appearance of the document. The document with the appendix is no less than 2.5 pages. Assignment Preparation Read the Legal Memorandum GuideYou will be expected to discuss the elements of this assignment accurately. There are several areas in which students have had difficultly in the past that you may want to make sure you are familiar with Be sure to make any claims based on your findings in a way that is accurate to what the statistical method allows you to know. Be sure you understand what a class-action lawsuit is. Be sure you are clear on the difference between the data and your evaluation of it. Be sure to clearly outline what you know about the data AND why what is provided is important. Be sure you clearly understand the specific car part you are discussing. If this is not a familiar product take the time to look up some information on it before writing about it so you can speak precisely. Problem DescriptionA series of seemingly related recent automobile failures have resulted in a class-action lawsuit (Links to an external site.), Szabo v. Reliable Car Parts Corporation being filed. The ‘class’ in this case is claiming that Reliable Car Parts manufactured a part that does not comply with mandated performance standards in place to assure safe operation of vehicles. The class was established as this part has been used by many manufactures in many models of vehicles for a decade, and therefore, involves hundreds of thousands of vehicles. They are claiming the failure of this part has led to serious engine failures resulting in needed vehicle repair or replacement, for which Reliable Car Parts should be financially responsible.The part is question is a shaft with a copper-lead bearing surface that is manufactured for use in fuel pumps. The use of copper lead as a bearing surface was considered a revolution in the performance capability of this part when it was introduced. However, after a decade in operation, the ability of this design to meet performance standards established for the safe operation of vehicles is being questioned. The established standards require these parts may not wear more than 3.5 microns over a useful life of 250,000 miles of vehicle operation with the fuel pump using this shaft. This standard has been established, as wear of the shaft bear surface exceeding this amount can result in catastrophic fuel pump failure in extreme weather conditions. Due to the significance of this litigation, the Judge involved with the case, The Honorable Faeza Hai, has brought you in as an expert witness, independent of either side of the litigation, to provide the jury with the clarity that can be brought to the question by an engineering review. At your request, she is providing you with data from a random sampling of 45 shafts of this design from a recent manufacturing run, which have been put through a test simulating 250,000 miles of wear. The result of this test was and She is requiring that you complete your work with a high level of confidence, therefore you have suggested using a confidence interval of .01. You are to provide the jury with which side of the litigation you would support and why in a written document that makes the determination clear and believable to them. The document you are to provide is to follow the court's template and their Legal memorandum guide. You will also copy the document to Miles Davis, Clerk of the Courts, Michah Bioano, Plaintiffs’ Counsel, and Jay Grabow, Defendant’s Counsel.Data from Sample Testing Assignment Grading (be sure to review the assignment rubric)You will be expected to use the Legal Memorandum Guide and example to include all the required elements in your memorandum. A particular challenge of the assignment is the explanation of the method used for calculations; why it is appropriate, and which option was selected and why. Before turning in the work you will review the document for flow at the sentence, paragraph, and document level. You will need to complete a statistical calculation using the correct approach, arrive at the correct answer, and use the findings in a professional way to develop a recommendation.Clarity, conciseness, and accuracy - While clarity and conciseness are a concern for the entire document, the memorandum subject line (RE), the question presented, and the brief answer will be closely evaluated on the accuracy of your statements, and the clarity and conciseness of your document elements. (Be sure you understand the difference between liability and negligence.)Addressing your audience - Your document must be worded in a way where your audience will understand, believe, and be persuaded by what you say. Each of the elements must be worded in a way that is complete and coherent to an outside reader who is likely not an engineer or statistician. (Finding someone like that to review your document and tell you where they are not following your writing can help you with editing. An outside reader may review your document for problem areas but MAY NOT do your writing for you.)Completeness - All the elements shown in the Legal Memorandum guide must be included in the correct sequence and format. This assignment is being submitted through the similarity review to trigger checks for plagiarism and at the same time will be reviewed for grammatical correctness. Assignment Submittal. This is an individual assignment for which each student must upload a document in one of the allowed formats listed on the assignment.
