...Impact of a Data Classification Standard | Unit 1 Assignment | Domain This Domain is where only one user will have entrance to it. This can be configured to internal usage only. By default, the IT department tries to sustain a certain level of Security for this, so that nobody can enter from the outside, only the IT Department may grant access privilege for Remote Access. The User Domain will enforce an acceptable use policy (AUP) to define which user can and cannot do with any company data that he or she has access to. Also, every user on the company is responsible for the safekeeping of the environment. 2. LAN Domain The Local Area Network Domain is a group of computers that are all connected to a single LAN domain. The LAN Domain is a collection of computers connected to each another or to a common medium. All LAN domains have data closets, physical elements of the LAN, and logical elements as designated by authorized personnel. It involves strong security and access controls. This domain can access company-wide systems, applications, and data from anyplace within the LAN. The LAN support group is in control of maintaining and securing the domain. The biggest threat to the LAN domain is an Un-authorized access to anything on the network. For example: LAN, the systems, and data. One thing we can do is require strict security protocols for this domain, such as disabling all external access ports for the workstation. This would cause a no access...

...Unit 1 Assignment 2: Impact of a Data Classification Standard The "Internal Use Only" data classification standard at Richman Investments includes basic IT infrastructure domains such as User Domain, Workstation Domain, and the LAN Domain. This will surround all users and their workstations, as well their access to the internet and company server databases and any information in between. The User Domain identifies the people who access an organization's information system. One way would be to implement what’s called an acceptable use policy or (AUP) to define what each user can and cannot do with any company information if they have access to it. That also goes for any outside company or third-party representatives to agree and comply with the AUP. All users must be properly identified and sign this AUP before gaining any access to the company network. It is best to avoid security policy violations. The Workstation Domain includes all computers and workstations that are approved on the company network. Only approved devices can be used at a workstation or within the network. Any devices not approved or any unauth will be issued by the company for official use only. To access any workstation, a user will need to be first verified, then setup with an account to be logged in with a username and password assigned by the IT departments set by Richman Investments. All systems will undergo regular updates and be provided with anti-virus and anti-malware software for system...

...compliant with standards and laws, classification, encryption, security, protocols, and the use of mobile devices. The implementation of access controls in your WLAN will assist in making your environment a little more secure than without. Utilization of the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), will instruct staff members and students on how to utilize WLAN correctly by law, policies, and standards. Any individual that is not compliant will be subject to disciplinary measures by the school district. Staff members will use access control Role Base Access Control (RBAC), using this control will assign user rights based on the user’s job specification within the school. As for the student body, students will be issued temporary usernames and passwords that will be issued quarterly. Students will have minimum accessibility to files, folders, and services. All accounts are subject to being audited at any given moment notice. There will always be risk involved with any network. Deploying WLAN in a school environment will be a concern with security always. The protection of data will be vital to the security of the WLAN structure. The school must adhere to any and all laws (state and federal), regulations and policies to avoid all fines, loss of data and potential of being shut down. The infrastructure must contain dual firewalls, ACLs and encryption to provide that extra security to ensure data safety. Remote access and VPN access will only be granted by the CIO to...

...Unit 9 Lab Recommend IT Security Policies to Help Mitigate Risk IS3350 1. Which IT assets did you prioritize as critical to administrative or student computing? I prioritize the file servers and the teachers’ notebook as critical to administrative and student computing. 2. List your top five (5) risk exposures for which you believe this school should have specific risk mitigation strategies. - No firewall - Unauthorized access to school computers - Open connections on the WLAN. - The principals traveling notebook can carry a virus - wireless access security 3. Given the potential risks that you identified, what IT security policies would you recommend be created by the school to help mitigate each of the identified risk exposures you listed in #above? I would say create an AUP and a policy that implements the encryption of the file servers. First and foremost a comprehensive security policy that takes into consideration the variables and factors at the school. This includes students, teachers, physical access, layout of the school and property, security measures as defined by FERPA, HIPAA, etc. A password policy needs to be in place that stresses complexity, minimum length (recommendations) and recycling or expiring passwords. This could be accomplished with a minimum length of 8 characters, one being a capital letter, one being a number, and one being a special character. Physical security should be setup in a way that there are locked...

...IS4560 Lab 9 1. When you are notified that a user’s workstation or system is acting strangely and log files indicate system compromise, what is the first thing you should do to the workstation or system and why? Inform the IT help desk to have the user cease all activity on the workstation and to wait for you to arrive at the physical desktop location. The workstation must first be physically disconnected from the network leaving it physically isolated but now powered off. It should be left in its steady-state. This isolates the contaminated workstation from the organization’s network and Internet, as well as preventing the contamination from spreading. Logs, memory forensics, footprints, and other malicious activity must be kept in its steady-state untouched. Forensic images of the logs should be performed along with a memory forensics scan. Anti-virus and anti-malicious software removal tools can be enabled from a CD-drive 2. When an anti-virus application identifies a virus and quarantines this file, does this mean the computer is eradicated of the virus and any malicious software? No, many times virus and trojans can leave residuals or wreak havoc on other processes. It is important to note that the quarantined file is never off the computer until cleaned out or deleted – it’s like putting the unknown file in a holding tank until you can assess what it is and how to eradicate. 3. Where would you check for processes and services enabled in the background of your Student...
