Unit 7 Assignment 1 The scalability of the mobile computing in this infrastructure will benefit the school district by being cost effective and the IT technician would not have to monitor/manage many devices in this environment. Reducing the cost of deployment on WLAN implementation, you will want to address many areas of concern: individuals accessing your network, risk of deploying new Software/Configuration, 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 staff members with necessity to their jobs. Groups will be created with specific policies attached to implement the ease of users being added to the domain. This will save valuable time to the administrators adding newly assigned personnel. Specific groups will only have access to those files needed to fulfill their job specifications and possible limited access to other folders. Chain of Command, Faculty, Staff and the student body who have access, will be individually responsible to protect any and all information that they each have access to. Any violation of the policies that have been written as a directive can lead to disciplinary action, not limited to expulsion or termination. It is a valuable entity to implement an Encryption File System (EFS) in the WLAN design. This will allow the users to encrypt files and folders, which can be setup to encrypt automatically. This will only allow encryption to those files and folders that you designate through the data classification policy. All devices considered mobile will have WLAN access but must be approved by those with the authority. Mobile devices will adhere to the Acceptable Use Policies and guidelines stipulated by the Chief Information Officer. (CIO).
