Missouri branch is using Norton Anti-Virus corporate edition, Arc Serve Backup Software. Anti-virus will protect and remove viruses, Trojan horses and worms but to block hackers from getting access to the data, a firewall must be implemented. New Jersey Office/Plant. This branch is also not using a firewall. No firewall can be a disaster for Huffman Trucking because it allows hackers to get in and have access to organization’s valuable information.
Communication Proposal and Presentation Sabrina Hunter ENG/135 August 24, 2015 DR. Franklin Communication Proposal and Presentation Firewall System A firewall is a software that stands between your computer and the internet. Having a properly functioning firewall can stop potential threats affecting your computer, but it can also alert you when a problem is occurring as well. Having a firewall can save you and your business from having to spend extra money to get rid of a virus on your computer or becoming a victim by having your computer being a hack.

Without such a tool in place an attacker will use the unpatched device or software to gain access and manipulate the network how they please. 2. Secure Configurations for Hardware and Software on Mobile Devices, Laptops, Workstations and Servers – establishing and ensuring that proper security configurations are always in use on your operating system will keep new devices safe from outside attacks. Updating these configurations on a regular basis will also ensure that all devices connected to the system are properly secure and not an open back door for unauthorized entry. Always conduct updates and implementation of configurations on a secure channel to avoid channel sniffing.
TO: Business Manager FROM: IT Consultant I can understand how you concerned with your company’s security after all information on competitors can be invaluable or very harmful to a company and this is why it must be protected from prying eyes. This does not have to mean that you have to lose production over trying to secure your networks information. An easy measure like user names and passwords can be used to protect less sensitive information but how strong you make those usernames and passwords can have a significant effect on how well your information is protected. I will give you some tips on how to better secure your network with the tools that you already have at hand, keep in mind that you can also buy better security items to better protect you network things like; smart card, finger print scanners, retinal scanners, etc. but I only recommend these for really sensitive information and only for certain users in your company.
Using this system for Identification will make the company more secure in day to day operations. The second part I need to implement for this remote access control policy is Authentication, which is defined as: what you know or passwords, numeric keys, PIN numbers, secret questions and answers. For remote access, there has to be proof that the person is who they say they are every time they attempt to access a workstation with a retry limit. This is to help stop or keep out any hacking attempts that could be made such as: Man in the middle attacks, keylogging and bruteforcing. Also using knowledge authentication for recovery will make it harder to any potential
By using this setup also gives them the opportunity to communicate with the other locations and to keep track of product and monies at all locations. Technology being so advanced today no business should use the process of manually keeping track of payroll, orders, and etc. because at times it is easy for human error which could cost the business money that was not necessary. Kudler’s can account for everything that involves their business by following this setup and also will keep them up-to-date with product and tracking.

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.

This time you already identified which house you want to try to get into. You would walk around the house to try to find a way to get in by checking the doors or windows. This is what a port scan pretty much does is after it finds what machine to attack it scans for open ports so it can get inside the machine. Even though these two types of attacks have the ability to be a big issue on a network if you have a proper setup on the security of the network and certain security devices and software the risk of an attack being successful is very limited. If you just implement a properly configured network and firewall the threat is extremely minimized.
