The First World Bank Savings and Loan network infrastructure update will be Linux based. The bank will utilize a custom kernel designed with the input of a Linux Security consultant. This proprietary kernel is adaptable, scalable and modular to readily handle the bank’s network. This kernel was collaboratively developed by the bank’s Security and IT directors with a consulting firm that specializes in Linux network security.
Task 1: Advantages of using a custom kernel
A. Support. Services provided by bank IT administrators and the kernel developers.
B. Versatility. The kernel configuration can be configured for each required solution.
C. Cost effectiveness. The kernel will result in quantitative network efficiency improvements and diversity. The diversity of the kernel provides for updates as needed. Evaluation, development and validation of network

Red Hat Package Manager (RPM)
A. Readily installed, updated, categorized and removed.
B. Linux service update Linux distributions available RPM form.
2. Anti-Virus Support
A. Linux kernels tend to have less malware than Windows bases systems.
1) Rootkit Hunter (rkhunter) application for rootkit, local exploits, malware and backdoors scanning.
2) Tripwire application for managing incident detection, security policy enforcement, reduce the attack surface and automate regulatory compliance.
3) The process of evaluation, development, and validation will be a constant. Due diligence will be one of the most important tools in software management and maintenance.
Task 3: Monitor Logs and Baseline
1. Logwatch application will be used for creation and usage of log analysis reports.
2. A higher level of security will be afforded by PCI-DSS compliance.
3. OpenAudit application will alert to what traffic is on the network, how the network is setup and identification of how changes are effected.
4. Lynis application for security, auditing, compliance checking and network hardening against
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
All three of the policies are in some way a little bit different than the current system in place in New York. Delaware uses a three-tier system that allows the state and local government to share the responsibility of making decisions regarding distribution. Tier 1 provides funding for the cost for such things as teachers salaries and their benefits. In addition, this Tier determines the amount of money needed per pupil, meaning that the number of students in the district determines the amount of funds that a district received. Tier II: this is the amount of money given to the district by the state to cover such things as schools supplies, building maintenance and utilities. Tier III: this is the fund, provided to the districts base on their pupil number, and this helps to equalize things between poor and wealthy districts.
When NetQ sets a goal, we strive with putting forth all our internal and external resources to accomplish that goal. For example, when it comes to security, we use a secure server login. That means we make use of a computer system that has been designed or dedicated to secure online commercial transactions when using a network. We provide customers with some of the best security in the industry.
We tested the system interactiveness by checking if anyone can be a floor chair if the chat and whiteboard are still functioning. Obviously, it works because the data was synchronized. Also, it is incomparable with H.323 because it did not implement this feature. We analyzed the components that were synchronized.
From my longhand calculation sheet, my protein RDA goal based on 0.8 g protein/kg body weight was 43.9 g/day, which is slightly lower than my 3-day average intake which was 45.08 g. According to these values, I am not concerned about my protein intake value because protein is not a major source of energy and it does not store in the body. As a result, for me, maintaining the similar amount of protein intake is a better choice. If the protein are over consumed, it might leads to the deficiency of nutrient-dense foods intake and increase potential risks of kidney disease and colon cancer (Hammond, 2016b). On the other hand, if we consume too less protein, the risks of malnutrition and life-threatened diseases such
Two weeks ago, a brutal piece of ransomware named Petya started circulating in large number. It became quite notable as it targeted its victim exactly where it hurts: right in the startup drives. It encrypted the master boot file and made it inoperable. As a result, victims couldn’t start their computer and access their data without the decryption password.
The security concerns for IaaS and PaaS models are described collectively because of their reliance over each other. The attacks on these two layers are of three types: attacks on the cloud services, attacks on virtualization and attacks on utility computing. Hardware virtualization, software virtualization, cloud software, utilitycomputing and Service Level Agreement (SLA) are considered some of the common security concerns for IaaS and PaaS.
In this chapter, the qualitative interview data is analyzed to reveal findings to show gaps in research.
Hello, my name is Robert Parker, and I was sent over by the IT consultant firm you just hired to give you a comparison and contrast of the three main OS systems you may choose to use within your company. The three we have chosen are Microsoft, Linux and Mac OS. Mas OS has been around the longest, and then Microsoft, these are the main two that most companies use today. Not to say one is better than the other, for it is mainly up to what the company’s mission is and what is needed to accomplish that mission.
There are those who are quick to get into the holiday spirit, and there are those who blog angrily about how they saw candy canes on the Wal-Mart shelves before Halloween. To satisfy those in the former group, radio stations have been jumping on the 24-hour holiday music train since the mid-1990s. To the disappointment of the latter, the trend is gaining momentum and starting earlier than ever this year.
The writing process for the Unit 3 paper was both lengthy and challenging. By the end of Unit 2, I had gathered over twenty different sources to aid me in writing my Unit 3 paper. I expected the Unit 3 paper to go smoothly, for I had a plethora of sources at my disposal paired with my knowledge of the topic. However, this was not the case, and so the writing process began.
Network Traffic Monitoring and analysis is essential to more effectively troubleshoot and resolve issues when they occur, to not bring network services to a standstill for extended periods. Numerous software tools are available to help administrators with the monitoring and detects cyber threats in network traffic. This paper will discuss software that can monitor Network Traffic, which helps detect cyber threats. The following is software based monitoring that detect cyber threats;
This case study is a practical application of all of the knowledge you have acquired from your courses in the networking curriculum over the past two years. It will allow you to demonstrate both your knowledge and experience in networking both academically and hands-on. It will also allow you to draw on what you have learned as you worked your way through the online Microsoft IT Academy Security course. It is intended to be used as first a mid-term examination and then will also be continued as your end of class project and final exam. It presents a thorough review of concepts and applications presented in courses you have taken while at JSRCC. To complete this case study, read the scenario below and
The choice of Network Operating Systems will affect the low-level network protocols used, the way that the servers are administered and the way that users interact with network services. The NOS shapes the entire look and feel of the network environment. The NOS marketplace is very mature. The choices available, while relatively few, offer sophisticated features, high reliability, and relatively easy setup and administration.
Today, a single network provides many different services like voice, data, chat, video, and many more. This convergence in the networking field has introduced many challenges since they share the common medium but are of different nature and priority. In my network I will provide high priority to the
