You are in charge of the security of information in a research lab. Most of the information is stored in electronic format on the LAN. The researchers can also access these files from their homes. The computers in the lab are also connected to the Internet. The current access is provided to Internet via a combination router-firewall. The entire network resides behind this single firewall-router configuration. It is quite important to maintain the confidentiality of the information, although the lab has limited funds allocated for security. There are 8 workers that use the network connections.
Identify at least 3-5 potential information security risks that the lab may be exposed to and propose counter measures for addressing those risks. Identify security technology and products that could be used to protect the lab environment from these risks. Use

Many such software suites are available for no cost. These suites scan a network for possible intrusion vectors. These vectors can then be analyzed for the best way to close the potentially open doors to the network. The GFI Events Manager is available for as low as $45 per node for servers, and as low as $4.50 per node for workstations (www.gfi.com). In addition, there should be a discussion for a periodic network attack by the IT staff or a trusted outside contractor. The reason that an outside contractor should be used on occasion is because IT would have at least some knowledge of how to access the system already. A “black hat” simulated attack would begin with no knowledge of the system network at all. As such, it simulates how a hacker would attempt to access the network. Thus, knowledge of access points would be learned, and a decision made as to how best to close them. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (www.cve.mitre.org) is also an exceptionally useful free
Despite the presence of network security devices such as firewalls and other security appliances, today's corporate networks are still vulnerable to both internal and external attacks by hackers intent on creating havoc. By proactively
Once a medical record has been transferred into an EMR it can be shredded. Some medical offices chose to keep the records in a secured location. I suppose when it's kept secured it's a back up. But would it really be effective if they didn't change details in it every time a patient visits? some people I suppose shred it because they've used scanners to get all the information from paper to computer.
In quadrants 1 and 2 how the amount and constituents of the fingerprint residue on the substrate affects the fingerprint image, is determined. In quadrant 1, excess sebum and moisture is first removed from the finger tips with the help of a clean cloth. In quadrant 2, fingertip is first wiped around the nose or forehead to create excess sebum. Quadrant 3 and 4 were used to compare the details between untreated and dusted fingerprint residues.
The above stated problems are mostly related to the InfoSec principle. InfoSec principle helps in protecting information from unauthorized access, modification, disruption, destruction etc. The confidentiality, integrity, availability, non-repudiation and availability are some of the parameters which fall under InfoSec principles and understanding any security breach such as malware attacks, risk of hackers when studied in light of these parameters, can help in solving the
Having secure mobile and IP address to it is one of the major important factors as to avoid hacking data. (VoIP) is majorly defined as the ability for faxing, phone calls etc. There is also a need of scalable support over IP which routes and optimizes the mobile needs over secured IP and its protocols. There are also communication insecurity in terms of protection. Some of them are protocol errors, cryptographic errors and implementation errors
This one is called cost/benefits. I have to describe how it supports our and neighboring districts and that it is advantageous compared to the cost.
Windows Server 2008 R2 has a vast amount of roles, features and services that are able to be installed on the servers. With the amount of things to be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 there has to be a lot of thought and planning before actually just building and installing the server. What is the purpose of the server? What kind of hardware is needed for the role, does an upgrade to the existing hardware need to be made before the feature can be installed? Are there software prerequisites that need to be met? Will there be any conflicts with existing software? k
Lab 8 Purpose Using sodium borohydride as the reducing agent, to convert a ketone (camphor) to a mixture of secondary alcohols (isoborneol or borneol). The product mixture will be characterized by melting point and functional group tests (TLC and IR spectrum). Pre Lab 1. Structure of Camphor NaBH4 used as reducing agent to produce isborneol from camphor Structure of isoborneol Isoborneol with wedged and dashed lines 2. Isoborneol can be produced by reduction of camphor by using the NaBH4 in Methanol.
Outcome – Guilty persons were more likely to confess than innocent persons and that the use of minimization and the offer of a deal increased the rate of both true and false confessions.
Student Answer: Lamentations describes Jerusalem as an abandoned widow, that her people deserted her who once loved her. That the people were carried away and all she has are memories of past glory. That because of her sins, the Lord’s blessing had been withdrawn from her (Tullock, & McEntire, 2006, pg. 191).
The network consists hardware and software components and other components to keep the company safe. A common network that Jay’s company will need are routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, SANs, and Domain Name System (DNS). The router and switches will allow the systems to communicate. Jay needs to ensure that the routers have spare capacity after the deployment to cope with projected growth and usage. The switches will connect to the system within the network. Both running at capacity tend to induce escalating bottlenecks. This will affect how long it takes for the clients to submit messages to the servers on different networks, Jay needs to make sure he is up to date with the router and switch because it can cost greatly if he does not.
Cornelius, I agree that OSHA is a need for medical facilities. They made the laws for a reason, and they have proven time and time again that the laws and requirements are needed. The safety training it provides for employees can even benefit them when they are not in the office. They will know what is right and wrong, and they would probably stick by that to prevent their families and close friends from getting sick.
This lab provided a virtual environment that simulated a corporate WAN network. Having a similar network environment at the organization I am currently employed at, I have some experience with vulnerability scanning. I do not have much experience using the nmap utility however, so I was interested to get some experience by completing the tasks within this lab. I didn’t experience many challenges following the steps in the lab itself. I was able to launch the environment successfully and perform the steps without any issue. As with any new environment, it took me a little time to figure out the layout of the simulation and how it functioned. After reading the documentation and spending about ten minutes clicking through the different areas, I felt comfortable and began the steps of the lab.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a protocol that provides, additionally to the HTTP functionalities, confidentiality and integrity ofthe transactions (Internet Society 2000). This is done by using the transport layer security (TLS) that ensuresthe security of the transport layerThe Internet Society(2008).
In this section, we present the details of proposed protocol. Our protocol implements the idea of probabilities for cluster heads selection based on initial energy and residual energy of sensor nodes as well as the average energy of the sensor network.
