Which of the following account lockout policy modifications could you make to ensure that user passwords cannot be intercepted by analyzing captured packets? (D) Disable the Store Passwords Using Reversible Encryption policy 2. Which of the following mechanisms is most often used in firewall rules to allow traffic on to the network? (D) Port numbers 3. Which of the following NTFS features is incompatible with EFS encryption?
By not relying on a specific algorithm, it allows the suite to be modified in the future to support even more security methods. It operates at the network layer, encrypting IP packets making them confidential so that only the receiving device can accept and read them. In addition, it uses checksums to see if the data packet has been manipulated during transfer. IPsec uses Internet Key Exchange to ensure authentication with usernames, passwords, pre shared keys and digital certificates For IPsec, AES is considered the best form of encryption available. It uses a 128 bit shared secret key to decrypt and encrypt data being sent through the VPN.
Provide a list of Anti-Malware alternatives—include at least four antivirus and two antispyware products. Instruct users to select one antivirus and one anti-spyware product and install them on their computer. Antivirus: a. Bit Defender b. Avast Free Antivirus c. AVG Free Antivirus d. Kaspersky Antivirus Anti-Spyware: a. Microsoft WINDOWS DEFENDER b. Spyware 2. Ensuring anti-malware software and data is up to date.

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.
3. The purpose of this lab is to be familiar with encryption methods, both public key encryption and private key encryption. For private key encryption, we will use a tool called NeoCrypt, which allows run several different private key encryption algorithms. For public key encryption, we will use the open source PGP which is under GNU license, called Gnu PGP (or GPG). GPG
I can assume that my organization MIS department will do it for me because they would identify issues and problems and promote to employees how to protect their assets that might be vulnerable to theft in the outside world. It’s important to protecting our assets that might be on portable devices to prevent the theft, use two factor authentications, and encrypt your data. Protecting your privacy by using strong passwords, adjusting the privacy settings on your computer, and surf the web anonymously. Other ways to protecting your privacy may include e-mail anonymously by reporting spam to your email provider and knowing what information on your emal is creditable, and by erasing your Google search history to prevent important history from being discovered. | 2.
Encryption is Key According to the American Bar Association, rule 1.6 (c) “ A lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a client”(www.americanbar.org). An attorney is charged with the responsibility of making sure all client affairs stay confidential. A great way to ensure that documents and private communications between client and attorney is to purchase encryption software. “The word encryption comes from the Greek word kryptos, meaning hidden or secret. Encryption dates back as far as the time of Egyptians.
