Cmit 320 umuc

You have been hired as part of the network security team at UMUC. After completing orientation and training, your manager calls you into a meeting to discuss your first project.

The university has completed the implementation of the leased building in Adelphi, Maryland. If you recall, this was the Network Design Proposal completed in CMIT 265. The university realizes it needs to secure the faculty, students, and visitors network and data. With your background and skills, the university is looking to you for guidance. In addition to helping the university secure its network, you are required to obtain your CompTIA Security+ certification within 60-days of being hired.

Part 1:

· Define the vulnerability assessment requirement, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should review the text and example provided but do not include it with their submission. Delete the text and include you own.

· Define the security policy requirement, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should be specific when defining the overall security outlook for the organization.

· Define the risk management requirement, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should describe the process, its value to the organization, and use proper terminology.

· Define the business continuity plan requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Student should describe the activity in detail, and include each of the plan types.

· Define the access controls requirement, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should be specific with the type of access control model they select.

Part 2:

· Define the physical security requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· At a minimum, students should discuss the three main factors of prevention, detection, and recovery; and include the appropriate control measure.

· Define the mobile device security requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should include smartphones, laptops, tablets, or any other mobile device that may be introduced in the UMUC environment. Students should also include the considerations and their implications.

· Define the perimeter defense requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should consider the different types of attacks, security appliances, and the network configuration to implement.

· Define the network defense requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should discuss common network devices, their vulnerabilities, and propose defensive solutions.

· Define the host defense requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should the types of attacks hosts are susceptible to, and proposal defensive solutions.

Part 3

· Define the public key infrastructure (PKI) requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should be specific when discussing the implementation and configuration required for the PKI solution.

· Define the secure protocol implementation requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should consider data as it is in transit and discuss the numerous scenarios and solutions to protect it.

· Define the file encryption requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should consider data at rest and discuss the numerous scenarios and solutions to protect it.

· Define the file hashing implementation, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should consider where hashing should be implemented in the network design and explain what it provides in each instance.

· Define the backup and restoration implementation, propose a solution, and justify the solution.

· Students should explain the process, where it is applicable in the UMUC network scenario, and how it will be achieved (process, hardware, and frequency).
