Assignment TCO and DR- need to prepare a backup plan for disasters in your company’s LAN network. Please refer to the document uploaded for questions/instruction and sample templates.

Backup and Disaster Plan

( Figure 1 ) Facts:

· Your company has a small LAN (Local area network)

· Your company is a small web-based catalog sales company.

· Customers order products.

· The customer order is transmitted to the business partner.

· The customer’s payment is processed.

· The payment for the order is transmitted to the business partner with your fee deducted.

· The business partner ships the product.

· There are two servers in the data center.

· Server 1 is houses email and a small database.

· Server 2 is for domain authentication, file-sharing.

· There are two routers that manage the network traffic between the two switches.

· One router is dedicated to Internet inbound/outbound.

· The other router is dedicated to managing data to/from other sources

Backup

1. What would you backup?

2. How often would you execute backups?

 

Possible outages

1. What could fail and how will it impact the business.

2. What is your plan to continue operations during each scenario?

Replication

Network Monitoring And Security Control

Overview

There are several lines of defense available to network and security administrators, including intrusion prevention and detection technologies. The activities and tools that are available to monitor and test the security levels on a modern network are varied. They range from free open source to very expensive and sophisticated technologies. They come in single-use solutions and best-of-breed solutions, which are typically suites of network management applications that perform a variety of activities.

 

In this assignment you explain various monitoring tools and methods available to network administrators.

Write 3–4 pages in which you consider the following aspects of network monitoring.

• Choose a common packet inspection tool and explain how it works to mitigate threats.
• Describe three criteria that a network or security administrator might use when selecting a network monitoring tool.
• Describe a security policy that is designed to ensure that an organization’s information is not compromised by internal IT staff.

Insider Security Threats

While threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data may originate from many types of attackers, the information security threats from trusted insiders—such as employees, vendors, and contractors—can be particularly insidious because the attackers have legitimate credentials on enterprise systems and networks. Insider threats may be difficult to detect because it can be challenging to differentiate between potentially harmful actions and an employee’s authorized work.

Share a relevant story—ideally based on your personal or professional experiences—about how a security incident originated with an attack vector that was opened, either maliciously or accidentally, by a trusted insider. Focus your discussion on the features that make this particular insider attack unique by describing the salient features of the attack, when and how the breach incident was discovered, the data that was illegally accessed, and the short- and long-term consequences of the attack to the organization.
