Advantages And Disadvantages Of Vulnerability

Environmental Threats like Long-term power failure, pollution, chemicals, liquid leakage and other create a high dame to the servers and the data as these are connected to a trunk electrical line that is not part of the medical center’s emergency power system and there is no line conditioning.

Networking is part of our everyday lives now. Weather is us using our phones, computer, using GPS for directions, watching 3D movies and TV’s or in our work environments. Network Security has become search a big issue since our day to day live started to be more involve with us. These problems involve in all type of shapes and forms where some of these issues are cyber attacks, physical attacks, or abuse of policies. People are really exposed due to the amount of internet activities we have going on in most of our networks. There are two fundamentally different when it comes to networking, the data networks and the synchronous network comprised of switches. With that being said there are also

This project identifies a two possible issues that can happen during the system operations like hacking or data loss due to improper security provided to the company branches and there is no proper infrastructure of the firewall for the network structure. The aircraft security policy result in failure due to their two year reset program.

A threat is defined as a potential cause of an incident that may cause harm of systems and organisation, or data. A potential and obvious threat is someone physically stealing hardware, or data. Physical threats are any incident that could result in the loss or physical damage to a computer system, there are threats that are pretty much unpreventable such as fire, floods, lightening, and earthquakes, and these are all physical threats that are uncontrollable. The humidity in rooms which computers are in does to an extent need to be controlled, if the room is too hot or cold if could have a negative effect on a computer system. There are also human threats such as; vandalism, theft, disruption, accidental or intentional errors.

The next step is to identify the risks, threats and vulnerabilities. Hackers attack from the Internet, failure of hardware or software systems, or network outages are the most common threats. And common vulnerabilities are absence of firewall and antivirus software, absence of update patches, not adequately trained associates etc.

In this report I will be describing the ways in which networks can be attacked, also be giving real life example of each of the below.

EMC regulations governing electromagnetic radiation, to ensure that equipment do not emit electromagnetic radiation that could

In Jon Kyl’s article “Unready for This Attack”, he argues that the United States has the means necessary to protect itself from an EMP attack, but is staying vulnerable. One of Kyl’s main points is that the U.S. has become a technological powerhouse and would be, in many ways, helpless without electricity. He also states that equipment mainly effected by an EMP are produced in countries overseas, making them hard to replace in the event of an attack. Another article that raises some great points is Brian Kennedy’s article “ The (Terrorist) Wolf Is at the Door.”

In order to support their growing business, Global Finance, Inc. (GFI) has taken necessary actions to ensure their network remains fault tolerant and resilient from any network failures. GFI has acquired network devices in order to support their network and maintain interconnection among their employees and customers.

Undoubtedly, this paper will generate network information, diagrams, and/or tables; accordingly, these are all included in the Appendix section of the paper. Moreover, the training, vulnerability assessment, and SAQ results are also included as an Appendix in the final paper. Finally, fearing disclosure of proprietary information that could compromise network security, all project data are scrubbed and sanitized to remove sensitive information.

Security vulnerabilities can be defined as an unintended flaw in the system that leaves opportunity for unauthorized access of malicious software such as viruses, Trojans, worms and other malwares. It can result from bugs in software and weak passwords. These require fixes in order to prevent the integrity of the system compromised by hackers or malwares. Hackers try to steal sensitive data such as corporate or personal information.

Unauthorized access to LAN, LAN server operating systems software and applications vulnerabilities, compromise of confidentiality of data transmission via VLAN connection. Improperly secured wiring closets, data centers and computer rooms, Unauthorized access to systems, applications and data

This sector is an integral component to your nation’s economy, operations of all businesses, as well as public and government organizations. In addition, this sector is mainly operated by the private sector (Critical Infrastructure Sectors, 2016). These reasons are why I feel this sector is most vulnerable for attack. With the majority of the sector ran by private companies and the critical nature of this sector makes it a prime area for attack. The chaos which would ensue due an attack on this sector could be devastating. With the loss of communication our nation could not function.

The United States of America, the world’s policeman. This nation is number one in the world right now. We have the strongest military to ever have been devised. The U.S.A. is the technology capital of the world. Our citizens, rarely face starvation. Our food production system is the largest on the globe, providing for millions here and abroad. Our electricity, reaches to all of our cities, lighting our country up every night. Now, while we may be number one, rest assured there will be enemies of us. There is always someone who wants to pick a fight with the world champion. Rather it be a fully formed nation or a rising religious cult. We may be strong, powerful, and wealthy, but that does not mean there are no flaws, no achilles heel of America. Of all of those wonderful things I said above about this nation, each can effectively be shut down by a simple piece of weaponry; the EMP device. Our whole grid, infrastructure, and commerce would be halted in a matter of seconds. The America we know and love today could easily be lost forever. In seeing how vulnerable we are, with our dependence on electronics and transportation, we must take the necessary precautions to prevent an EMP from getting into the wrong hands.
