...University of Phoenix by; Kari Sherwood 10/05/2014 Abstract University of Phoenix by; Kari Sherwood 10/05/2014 Network security Hospitality industry Network security Hospitality industry NEN Network security is an important aspect of system administration. The article focuses on the purpose of network security, the kind of threats that it faces and the implementation of a security strategy. The basic idea of networks is allow people remote access to geographically distant resources without having to be physically present. It has also been designed to send data back and forth, to stay connected. There are large networks and small networks, but size is irrelevant in terms of importance of network security. The purpose of network security is to protect the network and its component parts from unauthorized access and misuse. Networks are vulnerable because of their inherent characteristic of facilitating remote access. For example, if a hacker wanted to access a computer not on a network, physical access would be vital. However, with networks in the picture, it is possible to bypass that particular security aspect. Therefore, it is vital for any network administrator, regardless of the size and type of network, to implement stringent security policies to prevent potential losses. There are a number of potential pitfalls that may arise if network security is not implemented properly. Each business will identify with the need to keep certain critical information private...

...Integrative Network Design NTC/362 Integrative Network Design Project Kudler Fine Foods is one of the biggest and fastest growing food companies in the Unites States. Because of this fast expansion there are expected and often increased goals that must be done in order to keep all parts of the company working as they should. One of these areas that must be kept up to date and secured at all times is its integrated network. Again because of the company’s recent growth there will be challenges that will happen especially with the network so a good integrative network design must be developed in order to continue this positive trend both in present and in the future. Kudler Fine Foods is taking the next step to upgrade the existing infrastructure with new wireless technology which will provide a better communication link for not only all of the stores, but for all of the employees as well. Kudler Fine Foods wants to implement a new network design that will connect their three locations that is spreaded out across the U.S. With the new systems and servers the ability to maximize the company’s profits will increase overnight. This new inventory system will allow the stores POS systems to alert the warehouses to ship more products when they are running low automatically. This will eliminate the need of wasted man hours checking the stock. Using a Wide Area Network (WAN) would be the best choice for connecting the three locations together. They also want to implement a...

...Fundamentals of Networks Alhaji Mansary University of Phoenix Integrative Network Design Project Part 3 Prof, Marjorie Marque 12/12/12. Kudler Fine Foods Network: Final Introduction Kudler Fine Foods is on their way to upgrading their present network infrastructure with better wireless technology that will provide an improved communication medium both for the stores and employees. This will help maximizing the company’s profits with the aid of the new systems and servers performance. The new inventory system will let a store’s POS system to alert the warehouses that they need to ship more products already when the store is running low in stock. This will eliminate or at least make the man-hours needed in checking the stock. VoWLAN (Voice over WLAN) is the one to provide all the communications needed to be done by taking or making calls while providing the services needed by the customers by using the same medium. Other technological Advances will provide real-time network analysis and security monitoring which will bring overall benefits to the Kudler Company. Network Overview Kudler’s network infrastructure is now becoming very old. The stores are on separate networks so the bus network topology that they have does not allow effective communication already. This is a major problem because of the fact of lacking central location for network servers and backups or security set-up. This is the reason an enterprise wireless WAN is being rolled...

Natural disasters, malicious attacks, internal breach, and loss of team members, are all good cause to maintain strong security monitoring systems. The paper that follows will address security monitoring systems that should be conducted in the Cellular Phone Organization (CPO) with both Internal IT and e-commerce applications. Network Security Systems Organizations must have a secure network, in order to stay in business. There are many types of variations of ways to secure the network of an organization, and each must cater the type of business. The internal network is comprised of all servers, applications, data, and equipment used within the organization. The security of the internal network must consist of a mixture of both hardware and software. The Cellular Phone Organization employs 150 associates in an appropriate sized building. There are three teams: Customer Care; Tech Support: and Sales. There is also a Human Resources Team and Management team, for perspective departments. The company works primarily through a LAN/WAN set up, and work is performed primarily over the web. CPO must keep personal information safe, as they are trusted by each customer. CPO must also keep the information held within the facility and network safe, belonging to their employees. The Human Resource Team and Management...

...for Security i). Statement of Policy This policy statement seeks to address the optimum and responsible use of the wireless local area network WLAN facility available at the university in relation to specific network security issues. The issue of concern in this policy is the promotion of responsible use of the WLAN facility among the university’s student and workers. The strategy aims at preventing security problems that may arise from the misuse and malicious exploitation of the facility by people granted approval to access the university’s WLAN information systems. a) Scope and Applicability The scope of this policy statement covers the hardware, software and access protocols associated with the WLAN use by students and workers at the university. The policies adopted will seek to regulate access permissions for the users of the WLAN facility and to promote responsible use in line with policies outlined in this policy document and by industry standards and legal requirements of use. b) Definition of Technology Address The WAN is available for use by the students and workers within the university. The WLAN facility provides access to information systems meant to facilitate the learning and worker needs by providing information access and software platforms. c) Responsibilities The administration and management of the WLAN facility is the responsibility of appointed network administrators at the university’s faculty of Information and Communication Technology.

OTH is considered among the largest and most diversified network operators in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, with a mobile telephony penetration of approximately 48% in those regions, and more than 80 million subscribers as of March 31st, 2009. Orascom Telecom Holding operates GSM networks in Algeria (OTA), Egypt (Mobinil), Pakistan (Mobilink), Bangladesh (Banglalink), Tunisia (Tunisiana) and North Korea (Koryolink). OTH has an indirect equity ownership in Globalive Wireless which has been granted a spectrum license in Canada. Through its subsidiary Telecel Globe, OTH also operates in Burundi, the Central African Republic, Namibia and Zimbabwe. At OTH, all the information exchanged between the corporate headquarters and OTH subsidiaries on one side, and external vendors on the other side, is communicated by email. Email is therefore a mission-critical business application on which all corporate employees rely. Unfortunately, with 90% of its 1.5 million daily emails consisting of spam, OTH was rapidly overwhelmed by this type of malware. In order to protect its corporate email servers and users against spam and viruses, the IT security department of OTH had installed a third-party software application on the exchange servers. However, this security solution soon turned out to be ineffective both in terms of robustness and accuracy. Mina Samir, IT security manager at OTH recalls: “Spam was seriously affecting our business.
