Firewalls Firewalls are very resourceful. Depending on the size of the company and users, choosing the correct firewall can be critical. There are many firewalls out there and companies that produce them both freely and paid. You can utilize small office/home office (SOHO) firewalls, single machine firewalls, medium–sized network firewalls, or Enterprise firewalls (Easttom, 2006). Medium-sized companies are usually 25 to several hundreds of users. All of these users are on a LAN in a single location. For this type of company you can utilize the Check Point Firewall-1 or Cisco PIX 515E. For Enterprise you can use the...

...Unit 3 Individual Project Victoria Kane MGMT305-1301A-04 Management Information Systems March 3, 2013 American Intercontinental University Abstract The paragraphs below will detail the technicalities of an e-commerce website for Steve’s Used Appliances. Unit 3: E-Commerce and System Design When starting up an e-commerce website, the first thing to decide upon is the type of business model that will be used for the foundation of the website. The internet business model that best applies to Steve’s Used Appliances is affiliate marketing. In this model, a business pays off one or more affiliates for their marketing efforts to broaden the scope of customers. (Boris, 2011) This model will be the most helpful for a used appliance store because of the fact that appliances are not easy to sell. Having an affiliate model opens the door for other larger businesses to spread the word on this smaller business. Steve’s Used Appliances can definitely benefit from the creation of an e-commerce website. Having a website will make it possible for the company to get out information about their products and services without wasting money on postage, publicizing, or couriers. It also makes it possible for this small business to reach customers from cities farther away than they would with simple newspaper ads or commercials. An e-commerce website also provides several functions for a business. These functions are usually in reference to marketing, sales, customer support, and internal...

...Deploying Application Firewall in Defense in Depth Principle Abstract Information security should be a priority for businesses, especially when they are increasingly involved in electronic commerce. With the understanding that securing an operating system successfully requires taking a systematic and comprehensive approach, security practitioners have recommended a layered approach called defense-in-depth. The cost and complexity of deploying multiple security technologies has prevented many organizations from achieving their information security goal. In view of these constraints and in compliance with recent with recent corporate and industry regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, businesses now deploy application firewalls as security measures. Based on the foregoing, the author has recommended the use of application firewalls as a single platform for achieving layered security through network protection, application protection and data protection. This paper commences by examining the defense in depth theory and the types of application firewall and the author concludes by citing the Institute for Computing Applications (IAC) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) as an example of an organization which engaged application firewalls in resolving its network security problem. Research Analysis/ Body The development of Information security is of paramount importance to organizations that have online presence...

...Core Router for each location: Cisco 2811: * Provides access to high speed internet (T1/T3) * Provides security features that usually come with the PIX IOS (hence MPLS/Site to Site) * Allows VLAN's at each location. Core switches for each location: Cisco Catalyst 3950: * Has x2 gigabite uplink ports for a fiber connection to the Cisco core router. * Allows VLAN's, and trunking to other Cisco compatible devices. Lines for each location: This depends on what your needs are. They can be a normal T1, bonded T1's or a T3 line for increased bandwidth. You may also want to have a fail over ISDN line for redundancy reasons, and depending if you have a sever farm of not, you may need additional bandwidth. * Connection should be fiber (copper lines are more stable, but slower. Satellite is way to slow). * Connections should be T1/T3 lines, with a failover T1/T3 or ISDN line. Heres how the whole thing would play out (in a Cisco world at least): Global Network: * Each network should have a Cisco 2811, which will be the CPE of the network. * Each network should have a high speed fiber connection (type of connection will be determined on bandwidth consumption, along with need for VoIP). * Each network should have a failover line (T1/T3 or ISDN). Best practice is that both lines should be the same as the primary line. * MPLS should be used to connect all networks together, hence a third T1/T3 connection. If MPLS...

...Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI) Reference Architecture October 5, 2010 What You Will Learn Enterprise IT departments are pressured to control costs, improve manageability, enhance security, and speed-up the deployment of new capabilities while supporting a consistent user experience across diverse endpoints. Desktop virtualization (DV) has become a popular solution for addressing these needs. With hosted DV, the end-user’s desktop experience (operating system, applications, and associated data) is abstracted from the physical endpoint and centralized. The user’s desktop image is hosted as a virtual machine on a data center server. Users can access hosted virtual desktops from anywhere through DV appliances, smart phones, tablet computers, laptop and desktop computers, and other clients. Organizations deploying DV face many challenges, as the DV technologies potentially affect the entire IT infrastructure. To address these challenges, Cisco has developed Cisco® Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI), a comprehensive architecture for desktop virtualization. Cisco VXI, which uses three existing Cisco architectures, includes designs for virtualized data centers, virtualization-aware borderless networks, and virtualized workspaces, and the critical services needed to support these architectures. Cisco VXI reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO), streamlines operations, simplifies management, and positions organizations for growth. This document describes...

...Story Cisco Systems Inc. is a worldwide computer networking company based out of San Jose, California. From Cisco’s beginning they as a company aimed to connect all members of the supply chain. Cisco’s initial product was the router, which contained an operating software called Internet Operating System (IOS). This product launched Cisco as a company and led to their future goal of a completely integrated supply chain. The first integration, a customer support site, came a year after the router was launched and it allowed customers to download and upgrade software as well as technical support through e-mail. This support center continued to grow through the early nineties and was eventually replaced by a customer support system on their website. The customer support system was continually added to and by 1995 it included; company and product information, technical and customer support, and most importantly it introduced the ability to sell products and services online. Cisco’s main desire behind this system was to streamline the process of customer support and allow the information to more easily utilized. In 1996, Cisco implemented another Internet application called “Networked Strategy,” this introduced online order entry and allowed the information to flow through Cisco’s supply chain. The order information was sent to Cisco’s ERP system which in turn sent it out to the various suppliers and manufacturers, allowing for a very efficient process. Cisco continued...

...operations at hand is key to the function of the change in the university. The main purpose of the case study presented is to present the task of implementing a high definition security video surveillance system solution that can replace and magnify what already exists at DeVry University today. As mentioned, DeVry requests a high definition security system that is to require the following features: 1. PoE (Power over Ethernet), avoid any additional wiring, the mounting of power bricks or using power injectors. Conserve and confine; 2. Segment camera IP traffic from the existing network for security purposes; 3. Provide sufficient bandwidth for full HD support; 4. Support a minimum of 150 cameras; 5. Comply with the cisco hierarchical design model; 6. Integrate 1Gb uplinks; and 7. Minimize rack space. During this process, DeVry has not yet purposed a budget for this action taken for this project but as any company would, DeVry would like the most cost efficient method possible. With such a request as this, it seems almost impossible to find such a camera that can withstand everything. Almost as if it was an indestructible camera seeming almost impossible until there was some research conducted. The discovery of the D-Link DCS-7513 Full HD Day & Night WDR Outdoor Bullet Camera is a high-definition professional surveillance camera developed to be versatile to any small, medium or large establishment.

...Universidad Interamericana, Recinto de Guayama | Diseño de una Red Mediana | | Luis Lugo 16 de enero de 2013 | Introducción En este trabajo estaré diseñando una red mediana para un colegio técnico el cual contiene pocos estudiantes. Este diseño usa conmutadores en las capas 2 y 3 proveyendo servicios a usuarios y a la misma vez seguridad para toda la red. La organización tiene alrededor de 700 usuarios y existen diferentes dominios dentro de esta red. Diseño Este diseño debe tener varios requerimientos específicos para poder completar lo que es una red mediana segura. Uno de estos requerimientos y el mayor de estos es que la red debe de proveer conectividad para tres servidores y alrededor de 700 clientes. De la misma manera, la red va a permitir que si en alguna ocasión alguno de estos equipos necesita separarse el otro, esto sea posible. En esta red otro de los requerimientos importantes es el de evitar ataques, ya que como la red va a estar comunicándose entre dos edificios, esta es más susceptible a ataques que provengan de afuera. El centro o “core” de esta red es un solo conmutador de capa 3 con interfaz de “Ethernet” este conmutador “core” le provee los servicios de índole de ambas capas (2 y 3) hacia los equipos necesarios. La red tiene 4 sub redes diferentes, una de estas es para los servidores, otra para los clientes, otra para el sistema de red inalámbrico y la última para la administración.
