    Exam Content
    Imagine you oversee cybersecurity operations for a major online sales company. It’s imperative that you have the most effective cybersecurity measures available at your disposal. Resolution after an attack has occurred is not a viable solution. So, your job is to make sure an attack never occurs. Recalling the fundamental goals, benefits, challenges, and counter measures you’ve learned so far:
    Create a 2- to 3-page MS-Word report for your company, detailing the following:
    Identify one potential network threat to your business.
    Recommend 2 controls or protocols that need to be implemented to defend against attacks and limit the risk you identified for your business.
    Describe 2 purposes of the controls or protocols you recommended for your business. For each, list 1 example where these controls or protocols were used in businesses. What did they protect against?
    Discuss 1 significance of using OSI, TCP/IP, and SANS 20 Controls in network protection.
    Name one control and protocol you find in a security policy.

  • “Securing Wireless and Mobile Technologies: Identifying Vulnerabilities and Mitigating Risks in a Growing Social Media Company” Title: Mitigating WLAN and Mobile Vulnerabilities in a Small Business: A Case Study of Alliah Company

    Introduction: As wireless and mobile technologies continue to grow in presence and popularity, the world is becoming more and more connected. Unfortunately, this also means that devices and networks are becoming more and more vulnerable to outside threats. Businesses must identify and mitigate these vulnerabilities and threats in order to protect employees’ personal information and ensure the organization is secure from passive leaking of proprietary information.
    In this task you will assume the role of an IT professional who is responsible for identifying wireless and mobile vulnerabilities, as outlined in the scenario below. You will then present your findings and recommend solutions to mitigate these risks and prevent future threats.
    Scenario: You are a network professional on the IT team at Alliah Company, a new but fast-growing social media provider. One year ago, Alliah launched a social media website aimed at young professionals. The company also released a mobile app for accessing the site from cellular devices. Alliah was able to launch its website with money generated by a crowd-funded campaign, but most of the funds were spent on the site and app development, with relatively little money (and time) devoted to the internal office network infrastructure.
    Alliah has 35 full-time employees, all of whom have offices or shared work spaces in a three-story building that serves as the company headquarters. The building is an old warehouse that was converted for office use and is approximately 10,000 square feet. Currently, the employees occupy only two floors; the third floor is vacant and available for expansion.
    The Alliah WLAN has a gigabit managed switch, a multiservice wireless LAN controller, and seven wireless access points strategically located to provide coverage to office staff. One access point services a large back patio area for employee use. The network is protected by a firewall. The Alliah website servers are located in a data center 100 miles from Alliah headquarters.
    Five employees are account representatives who are on the road at least 80 percent of the time, and each rep has a company-issued laptop, tablet, and smartphone. They use a large, shared office in the headquarters building when they are not traveling.
    Employees use company-owned computers that connect to the WLAN, and, in an effort to control costs during the launch, Alliah has a bring your own device (BYOD) policy.
    The IT staff consists of five employees; three are devoted to website maintenance, one manages the headquarters’ computers and network, and another employee assists with the website and the office network. IT staff uses wired Ethernet connections to remotely access the website servers.
    The Alliah website is successful, attracting more and more visitors each month. Jennifer, the CEO, anticipates hiring more employees and is considering a strategy that would take the company public within a few years. In preparation, she wants to ensure that Alliah’s wireless networking infrastructure is highly secure, especially because it may need to grow quickly in a short period of time, and she wants to understand the security risks the company faces. She also wants to decide if Alliah should continue allowing BYOD or restrict network access to company-owned devices only, or if a compromise solution is available.
    Requirements: Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide.
    You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
    A.  Describe two WLAN vulnerabilities that present risks for Alliah, based on the details in the scenario.
    B.  Describe two mobile vulnerabilities that present risks for Alliah, based on the details in the scenario.
    C.  Summarize the steps for mitigating each  identified WLAN and mobile vulnerability, including the specific tools or documentation that will be needed for mitigation.
    D.  Recommend preventive measures to maintain the security posture of WLAN and mobile environments in a small business, such as Alliah. Reference federal, state, or industry regulations that justify these measures.
    E.  Recommend a solution for the company’s BYOD approach, including research to justify your recommendation.
    F.  Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
    G.  Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
    Help:  Task 2 addresses mobile and WLAN issues at Alliah.
    You need 2 mobile vulnerabilities and 2 WLAN ones.
    The mobile vulnerabilities could generally be addressed with a ‘mobile device management’ or “MDM” solution.
    WLAN stuff is best addressed with a WPA-Enterprise deployment which allows auditing, authentication and access control.
    Since Alliah is going to go public, certainly SOX compliance would also need this and is a good federal state or industry regulation to reference in this Task.

  • “Network Security Recommendations for a Medium-Sized Start-Up Company: A 30-Day Consultancy Report”

    The Scenario:
    After transitioning out of the military, you were contracted by a medium-sized start-up company that processes credit card transactions on a daily basis. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and other business staff have no knowledge of network security or the threats they face. They have an open position for a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), but have yet to fill it. Thus, they hire you for your expertise in network security, firewalls, and VPN solutions.
    This is a short term engagement that lasts 30 days. As the company’s subject matter expert/consultant, the CEO wants a 4-6 page report at the end of your assignment. The CEO tells you they will have remote users, so firewall and VPN technologies are needed. They provide you with the following report outline to use:
    1.0 Introduction
    2.0 Overview of network security fundamentals, security threats, and issues (discuss from a company wide standpoint).
    3.0 Detailed network security recommendations
    4.0 Summary
    Note:
    Section 3.0 should include:
    Fundamentals of firewalls and VPNs
    Recommendations for firewall and VPN solutions for the new company
    Recommendations for implementing your proposed solutions
    Practices that you will use to ensure security within the enterprise if they hire you long term. You may make these as sub-sections if you’d like (e.g., 3.1 Fundamentals of Firewalls and VPNs, 3.2 Recommended Firewall and VPN Solutions, etc.)
    Section 4.0:
    This section should be short, a paragraph or two.
    Requirements:
    Your submission should be 4 to 6 pages long (not including the title page and the reference page).
    All sections are represented (Sections 1.0 – 4.0).
    Paper is in APA format with proper citations and references.
    1″ margins.
    In Times New Roman or Arial font, font size 12.
    Utilized correct grammar and spelling.
    Include and cite references as needed.
    The key to this assignment is to demonstrate your understanding of the topics, not to re-word the text or reference material.
