...| Computer Lab PlanAssignment One | Hersh Gulati | 5/27/13 | Project Management | | | Computer Lab PlanAssignment One | Hersh Gulati | 5/27/13 | Project Management | | Executive Summary Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is ranked in the top 500 universities of the world. The university has experienced a significant increase in the number of students enrolling in its Business and Law faculty over the years. Its Business and Management Studies was ranked as one of the top 200 in the world. As a result, there has been an increasing requirement for using computer systems in all its faculties, including the non-technological subject areas. Due to the growth envisioned over the next five years, AUT has decided that it requires two new computer labs to accommodate its Business and Law faculty students.To meet this requirement, level 7 of WF building will be refurbished to accommodate the new computer labs, instead of the exisiting seven classrooms. The renovation will be carried out as a 6 months long project commencing on 30th June 2015. Taking the Christmas and New Year’s holiday period into account, the project will be completed by 22nd December 2015, before the beginning of Term 1, 2016. The calculated budget for the project is $1.294 million, which includes 10% of contingency amount. The key deliverables for the project are: * Lab designs and architectural layouts for the computer labs * Two new computer labs The major tasks that will...

...Policy Development and Security Issues Lab 4 (Due October 22, 2014) Introduction In any company, a security policy helps to mitigate the risks and threats the business encounters. However, unless a company happens to be in the information security industry, the task of identifying, assessing, and categorizing the myriad of risks can be an overwhelming one. Thankfully, a company’s IT infrastructure can be divided in a logical manner to more easily sort the risks. These divisions are the seven IT domains. The purpose of the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure is to help organize the roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities for risk management and risk mitigation. In this lab, you will identify known risks, threats, and vulnerabilities, and you will determine which domain of a typical IT infrastructure is affected. You will then discuss security policies to address each identified risk and threat within the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure. You will next determine which appropriate security policy definition will help mitigate the identified risk, threat, or vulnerability. You will organize your results into a framework that can become part of a layered security strategy. Learning Objectives Upon completing this lab, you will be able to: • Identify risks, threats, and vulnerabilities commonly found in the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure. Determine which domain is impacted by the risk, threat, or vulnerability. Determine...
