Zooming in on Company A, there is information of approx. 10,000 employees that travels through an unprotected portal that shares the company email server. This is about as serious of a threat as there is.
Laid out within this written document are enactments much, much recommended. These implementations work together much like the individual pieces of a knight’s armor overlap each other a bit, meanwhile the sword and shield are actively about in front of; ready for an attack on their network. The following paragraphs are outlined in the order of the OSI model.
Protecting all of the important assets of XYZ Computers means keeping them in a safe place, whether in storage or in full operation. According to Appendix G, there was a flood on the first floor that caused damage to all of the equipment. To protect the equipment from flooding, which is a seemingly big problem in the south, the equipment should be elevated from the immediate floor by means of some type of moat around the equipment or moved up to the second floor. The drainage system should also be further inspected to ensure there are not other pipe-bursting dangers. Also, all of the cabling should run over head in cable management racks and waterfall into both core and redundant equipment; the racks securely bolted to structural members. In the case of an earthquake, the cabinets of equipment should be braced at the top with a stout type of earthquake bracing.
To keep this equipment powered up in case of a power outage, there needs to be two sources of power
