* Assist in planning new software installation for security and any new routers and switches

Wireless network infrastructure has become just another connection method for corporate and home users alike. This rapid acceptance can be attributed from:

Data confidentiality is one of the three main IT security components which are data confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA). To keep your data confidential means to protect your data from unauthorized access. In other words, sensitive data are stored in a protected system that keep these information and data away from attackers and here the data confidentiality will measure the ability of the system to protect its data.

Johnson. The first section of the proposal will outline the needs analysis requirements of the network. We will analysis the needs and requirements of Mr. Johnson and his employees and provide recommendations on various applications that will help fulfill those needs. A high-speed data rate selected from the ISP will help the performance of the applications needed in the small business network. After determining the needs analysis, we will provide a logical network diagram that will display the network based on the needs analysis requirements. It will be explained how each hardware and network wired will be connected to each other in the room forming an office

The response "sensitive value; response suppressed" is itself a disclosure. Suggest a manner in which a database management system could suppress responses that reveal sensitive information without disclosing that the responses to certain queries are sensitive.

Every school is unique in their needs, but their requirements for a WLAN are the same. To be able to effectively prepare a wireless LAN infrastructure, there are a few key points that need to be considered first: pre-implementation procedures, who/what users will utilize WLAN resources, the applications that will be used, what devices will access the network, what areas will need wireless coverage, what information will be sent across the WLAN, and full security.

To start, all files will be backed up by the Administrator for all office directories, including all patient, accounting, and office files to an external drive and the current server machine. Once the backup is completed the hardware upgrade will commence by installing Windows 7 Professional on (20) new HP T620 Thin Client workstations. Windows 7 Professional is recommended for its added security features like BitLocker (encrypts data on internal and external drives), DirectAccess (connectivity to a corporate network without VPN), AppLocker (prevents unauthorized software from running), and BranchCache (speeds up the accessing of large remote files on a small network). The Thin Client PC will be organized and setup on Ergotron WorkFit-C Dual Sit workstations that comes equipped with dual monitors. The workstations and

This pilot program is a large and expensive undertaking. This will be an entirely new network outside the main hospital infrastructure; therefore, all new network infrastructure needs to be put in place. IT director needs a server that is connected to the internet and then multiple wireless routers, SSIDs and access points will need to be added throughout the hospital.

Once networked, Mr. Green’s staff will need to have constant access to shared files (even when the network goes down) and have the ability to quickly search the network for specific shared files. Staff will also require seamless access to the cloud if the network goes down. Also, the network administrator that Mr. Green hires will need to quickly create Group Policy Objects (GPOs) and use tools to quickly troubleshoot potential IT issues. Mr. Green asks you if these things will be a concern with Windows 7.

Dealing with wireless network it allows employees or guest to browse without losing connection in the building. Wireless network has been an option for companies to have because it’s easy to set up and cheaper to implement. When it comes to network expansion, company may find this a better option to get access to information because it allows business transport data over networks (Dean). Wireless network is now common in business and home network and necessary in some specialized network environments however; from an IT manager’s perspective it could be a nightmare. When talking about network vulnerabilities, wireless connection used on a personal or business network is one of the major vulnerability. A device having access on a wireless network on public and private networks

The only wireless access point will be located in the student lobby on the second floor. The wireless service will be provided by a Cisco Aironet 3700 Series Access Point that is connected to the server in the Student Computer Lab. The device supports the new IEEE 802.11ac standard which provides speed rates of up to 1.3 Gbps. The device will be setup to use WPA2 (Wifi Protected Access) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standards) for security purposes.

In order to properly secure the firms network there are many hardware, software, and user policies that need to be addressed.

It is essential that the proper physical medium be deployed to ensure that the signals transported by the medium deliver a strong signal to all intended locations. However, the quality of the signal must be balanced with cost and regulatory considerations. So for the UMUC network, CAT6 UTP shall be installed (with the exception of one classroom and the Admissions office) because it costs less than either fiber optics or CAT6 STP (shielded twisted pair) and is capable of delivering gigabit speeds within 100 meters (nearly every location in the building). The Admissions office and classroom located on the floor above the Admissions office will connect into the network using fiber optics (62.5 micron multi-mode fiber) because the distance to each room from the main IT closet will be just over 100 meters in length.

Hardware firewalls are specialized network systems that contain specialized software and hardware. When they are configured appropriately, these firewalls provide a protective barrier that hide an entity’s internal computers and applications from the outside world. Hardware firewalls can also shield organization department; for instance, the human resources from another department such as the finance department. Hardware firewalls are mostly applicable in scenarios where entities require a unitary information security umbrella with the capability of protecting multiple systems (CISCO, 2013). This reason points out why most FORTUNE 500 company networks have implemented hardware firewalls. However, since hardware firewalls are specialized devices or systems, they tend to be complicated, expensive, tricky to configure and difficult to upgrade. That is to say, they are best reserved for Information Technology experts or consultants trained to assess, install, configure and maintain such systems. In addition, the low-end hardware firewalls currently found in network devices such as routers and switches for homes and small businesses are also limited to locations. In other words, if an accountant or any other user from the accounting department takes their mobile devices or laptops to the road, their

Hence before implementing computer information, security is a highly considered factor for both healthy business continuity and an individual. This security is to be properly strategized before initiating the network. Here we discuss the factors to be considered relative to the network security, challenges and strategies to be planned before establishing a computer network.
