Phase Three With the network topology and employee workstations configured as requested, network functionality and security are a necessity for enterprise protection. Phase three takes into consideration both network and data security. This data security is a combination of both network resources in addition to personnel training. While these objectives have separate outcomes, they work in tandem with each other to provide holistic network security.
Firewalls, Antivirus, and Intrusion Detection/Prevention In the simplest form, firewalls provide a go/no-go gate for passing traffic from the internal network to the internet. By setting up appropriate rulesets, the network administrators restrict and allow different data packages which users and peripheral …show more content…
They provide working instructions and operations for the employee and the network machine to follow. Without these policies, the possibility of network intrusion is greatly increased. Although IDS, IPS, antivirus can prevent intrusions, if the attacker has easy access points from failed security policies, entry to the network is greatly increased. Security policies. A way to prevent all users from having full access to the network, and thus access to unnecessary resources, is to limit their access. The most appropriate way to limit this access is via role-based-access. The administrators will limit what resources each individual has access to depending on what their individual job is. Once an employee changes position (or roles), their access is evaluated and changed accordingly. This prevents employees from gaining more access by access escalation. To enable this process, network administrators will have the ability to assign access resources, but not the ability to access the
