Unit 8 Network Security Issues

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

First, I want to describe who the subjects of the issue are. In my opinion, the issue is the most relevant for the private and commercial information. Home users risk their security while connected to

Some of these critical challenges that this industry faces are: network access control, identification, authentication, wireless and mobility, and most recently, securing cloud computing. With the increase of technology, wireless devices, and number of attacks happening, our main goal is protect your network and increase productivity by identifying and eliminate threats before they happen. There are companies that haven’t been so lucky. The costs and potential consequences of security problems can be devastating, if not, disastrous.

We are living in the world where we are required to yield our personal data information to authority or companies such as names, date of birth, social security number or even credit numbers (Magalhaes, 2012). We may be aware that the personal data can expose to unauthorized people if our data is not secure properly, either via wire or wireless network. Lost or stolen data has been seen while data is transferred between different users using both networks. Can we trust companies to keep our data safe from being lost or misuse? Yes, we can. With new cyber-crime laws are enforced, it is in the company's best interest to keep their customers' data more secure (Magalhaes, 2012). This article will summarize the major security risks and threats to

In today’s vastly technological world, when it comes to internet and computer security, people are either scared or unaware of the dangers present. Everything we use in our daily lives, from devices such as phones, tablets, and computers, to cars, gas stations, and electrical plants, is run by computers. This puts millions and billions of people at risk with impending security attacks just a keystroke away. The threat of an attack or breach in a system puts information security at a premium for many organizations and individuals. Therefore the onus is on businesses and organizations to ensure the confidentiality of information in their possession. Securing information prevents breaches and cyberattacks, protects the privacy of

Due to the huge dependence on Information Systems by many people, issues threatening Information Systems also threaten most activities (Zisssis, 2012). The critical role that Information Systems plays in many activities as it has been developed to perfection but is challenged by many obstacles such as spamming, hacking, etc. which threaten their reliability and security.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the security and vulnerabilities dealing with network security and management policy in information technology to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of a system or network, its information, resources, and its immediate infrastructure. The topics are the overview of Web services, social engineering, system components, architecture, protocols, future security trends, security vulnerabilities programs, the evolution of network security, internet vulnerabilities, online security and the protection of civil rights, practical attacks on mobile cellular networks and possible countermeasures, analysis of network security policy-based management, the risks and threats that

“Businesses, governments, and other organizations face a wide array of information security risks. Some threaten the confidentiality of private information, some threaten the integrity of data and operations, and still others threaten to disrupt availability of critical systems” (Sullivan, 2009). Since such security risks are always going to present in the cyber world, businesses and organizations need to fully be aware of any vulnerabilities in their systems. The initial realization of any organization’s vulnerability can only

Within this essay the issues to be discussed are problems about technology. Information technology is very important in today’s world and is used daily by many people all across the continents. Information technology has its pros and cons like other technology does, but one of the major problems are security and privacy. The main issue of this topic would be cyber threats to computer networks. Examples are threats involving denial-of-service attacks, malicious software, sniffers and more.

Network security, in this technological age, should be one of the most important items of concern for any business owner or network administrator. Since just about every company out there is connected to and conducts some sort of business over the Internet, just about every one of them is at risk from outside threats. This means that they should take certain steps in order for them for them to conduct their business securely. Beyond the initial steps, it must be known that there is no end to network security as it is a process that is continuous. The goal of this paper is to discuss some “best practices” that companies should follow in order to provide adequate protection.

Information is a valuable asset for businesses and organizations. Advances in information technology facilities the storing, transferring, and modifying of data. Organizations use information technologies such as the Internet and networked technology to reduce operating costs, improve customer service, and improve productivity. However, Using the Internet has increased the number of frontier that must be protected and has bought a lot of concerns about security issues. (Ezingeard, McFadzean, & Birchall, 2005)

We won’t stop emphasizing on the importance of information security in every organizations. As a team of conscious security experts, we know the extent of damages you can incur as a result of poor or weak security settings. Like we usually say in most of our publications, information security is a serious business, which must not be overlooked by any organization. There are many questions and issues we need to tackle as far as information security is concerned, but unfortunately, we won’t be discussing them here, as we have already prepared a comprehensive and exclusive courses for each of them. However, if possible, we would discuss some of the issues in this article.

With the advent of what many refer to as the internet age, there have been numerous developments in the world as we know it and as time continues to pass, the developments keep on coming thick and fast. Over time we have arrived to an age where the use of computers and networks related to these computers has almost become commonplace. The advantages and benefits that can be drawn from these developments have been many and most of them have been welcome. Industries have been created, new markets have been created and the overall outlook could not be clearer. Simply put, the future looks bright as far as developments in the technological industry is concerned (Creery 215). However, with the massive improvements in the world of technology, the developments, the new and improved ways of doing things there has also come new vulnerabilities and problems. In this paper, I will analyze the different cyber threats that we face and highlight the factors that one ought to consider when developing cyber security policies.

Safety of information is the most valuable asset in any organization particular those who provide financial service to others. Threats can come from a variety of sources such as human threats, natural disasters and technical threats. By identifying the potential threats to the network, security measure can be taken to combat these threats, eliminate them or reduce the likelihood and impact if they should occur.
