This should include using a laptop or remote connection software that has been pre-approved by the organizations security team, keeping IP’s in a safe place, making sure that if they are accessing the network from a laptop to ensure that hard drive is encrypted. This will prevent anyone from gaining access the sensitive information if it is ever lost or stolen. Lastly not everyone should be granted remote access to the network; this privilege should only be given to people who have a legitimate need for it.
CE3.17 I ensured that Cisco devices were used for the network infrastructure design. Since aim of this project was design a high performing network, I assessed the network access scheme provided by the Cisco, Identity Services Engine (ISE) developed to tackle any potential threats in the networks. I integrated the use of network access control for securing the network nodes, which connects multiple departments, several access points and thousands of users in the University. Since Cisco devices were introduced in the new design system, it will automatically generate network admission control appliance to provide more security by assuring security policy compliance on all devices while accessing the university network.

Security in modern society should be increased by the use of metal detectors, gun laws, and surveillance for the people.
