Week 6 iLab Report DeVry University NETW360: Wireless Technologies and Services Evaluate and Solve Common Security-Related Problems Submitted to: Professor Richardson Evaluate and Solve Common Security-Related Problems Introduction Overextension of wireless signals is a problem that is faced by any company that chooses to have a WLAN. The problem with a WLAN extending beyond the necessary area, is the availability that is presented to unauthorized users of the network. This report tries to establish the causes of that overextension. And it will also cover how to properly regulate the wireless signal so that the excess signal is reduced. Specific questions from iLab Scenario 1 Discuss how changing the type of antennas affects the amount of signal spilling outside the building?
Staying within the budget is very important for a company to measure growth. Purchasing expensive programs or systems can become a waste of company resources. A company will need to look into their assets, vulnerabilities, and network features before purchasing anything to ensure that it will fit their needs. With the proper security program in place all security threats that could harm the company will be revealed and addressed to further protect the Bloom Design Group Corporation. The Bloom Design Group will need to apply their best practices to ensure IT systems not only reach a known and trusted state but that they also preserve that state of compliance.
Introduction This lab presents three scenarios that a network administrator will encounter with their wireless LAN segments. You are the network/security administrator for your company and must resolve each of these scenarios by using your knowledge, assigned readings, and appropriate research. These scenarios support this week’s TCO: TCO 8: Given a business case study of a wireless network, develop and apply appropriate security-related measures. iLab Instructions Scenario 1 1. Review the image below. It provides the latest site survey results showing the signal coverage on the second floor of your building.
Also all the walls block the signal as well, and this is a major problem too. | |According to your site survey, is the data center an ideal location for the wireless access point? Would you place the access point| |somewhere else in the building? If so, where and why? Do you think it will be necessary to have
What other test could you perform to prove that it was your computer’s firewall that was blocking the connection and not the firewall on the computer you are using as a client? Try to access other web sites from the host computer 9. Why can you not simply leave Windows Firewall turned off when you deploy an actual web server? That would leave your computer open to a cyber-attack Exercise 5.3 10. Why are you now able to continue to the web site from the client?
There is also not enough space for storing raw materials and finished goods, which of course means that production may be slow if not everything is accessible. The layout of the company makes the workflow difficult and so motion is wasted. This leads to a decrease in production. The employees are not being allowed to work at their fullest potential, (02) Secondly, long term Albatross Anchor must decide to upgrade their technological tools. In order to be more successful in their industry, they must have up-to-date equipment and technology.
These surface coverings come in two primary types: a specialized type of paint that contains materials designed to reflect radio signals, or sheets of material designed for application either behind or on top of existing wall coverings. Both types of coverings can be expensive, and they require a considerable amount of work to install. Therefore, they might not be cost effective for your needs and budget constraints. Third, the third method of limiting wireless signals is limiting the direction in which your wireless antennas transmit signals. Nearly every AP sold today comes with Omni-directional antennas.
The greatest and the latest is not always the best for companies. While it is important to have the most up to date, it is also important not to go over the total budget allotted for the service request. Doing proper research on all of the different types and styles of equipment for the various appliances being purchased is going to help save on total cost. Risk is going to be that too much money is going to be spent for the equipment or not enough money is going to be available to purchase all the necessary appliances. In order to mitigate this risk, doing the proper research will be key as it will serve a great purpose to the company.
The HR intranet will oblige no extra establishment of fittings yet will use a protected "shaft" got to through a Virtual Private Network (VPN), which will secure the information and will minimize access to those inside Riordan's HR system. At this point the Riordan HR Department utilizes their Information System to track extremely essential worker data. The cumbersome and old fashioned programming as of now utilized by Riordan is memory overwhelming and massive. The move to redesigned programming is possible after standard work hours. Preparing on the new programming ought to be carried out earlier the two arrival of the new HR programming.
An effective planning, scheduling and cost control system allows us to improve our efficiency in a wide array of areas. Good planning and scheduling allows us to have better pre-job meetings by developing a “Master Construction Plan” and enables us to make estimating a more exact science. We are better able to manage our projects when labor demands and equipment schedules are pre-determined. All these things will help to hold us all more accountable in a post-job meeting by providing invaluable constructive feedback. This is needed and essential to our success but is dependent upon our ability to assimilate correct information.
