By proper end user training for anyone involved with the Corporate Techs site, proper scanning of all USB and thumb drives on a test computer being used for this particular site, can mitigate threats from bugs and viruses. Also, by changing all local computer default autorun policies, will disable usage of these USB ports and stop an occurrence from taking place. Last, it’s almost near impossible for an end user to not use a personal laptop during work hours for personal use or for work. But to mitigate further problems from happening, I will implement an encrypted file system for sensitive data. TrueCrypt is a program that I have found efficient that controls over endpoints that enter and exit the internal system.

The Wireless portion of the network is possibly the greatest area of potential security concern This needs to be secured so that no open network is presented to anyone within range of the Access Point. A combination of disabling the broadcast of the SSID (Wireless Network Name) with WPA-2 Encryption will create the desired level of security. An additional possibility would be to only allow certain devices to connect to the Wireless Network by restricting them in accordance with their MAC (Physical Network) Address. Finally, if we extend security to include the security of the business data then adequate backup mechanisms and redundancy/ resiliency measures need to be in place.
