Hardware Vulnerability Single ISP controlled router linking service to the internet. There is a security vulnerability to cracking from the internet side of the router, thus possibly severing customers from the product and/or service. Assuming the ISP can control the router remotely, it is a backdoor into the router than can possibly be used by unauthorized users to change the router settings and deny internet service to the company. There is a very low likelihood that the router will be taken over by an unauthorized user. This is also a vulnerability in terms of access control, with no access to an ISP controlled router, Quality Web Design can not secure this router to limit unauthorized access. An edge router should have specific items addressed to ensure that it has as little vulnerability as possible. Here are a few points to consider when securing a router: • Make sure that the OS is patched and as up to date as possible • Protocols o use ingress and egress filtering o Screen ICMP traffic from the internal network • Disable...

...Dictionary.com, digital technology is defined as “the branch of scientific or engineering knowledge that deals with the creation and practical use of digital or computerized devices, methods, systems, etc.” Web design is as important from daily shopping and web browsing to corporate businesses and branding. Imagine wanting to research a company’s case studies on building projects throughout neighboring counties. One may use a major search engine like Google, Bing, or Yahoo which will display a list of results based upon the input of the user and from there the user proceeds to the desired website. But how does a company get placed on a search result page? “When you include important company-related keywords into the html-based text, search engines such as Google and Bing are able to crawl your website easily, increasing your search engine placement and giving your website and firm more overall visibility” (Hendricks 2015). When analyzing, designing, and implementing a new website for a new or established company, many factors must be considered. Web design sticks close to the system development life cycle and is broken down into the requirement analysis, design and development, quality assurance, implementation, and maintenance and support. With all of these tasks at hand web design becomes crucial for the potential customer or client. Although all of the steps are critical to a successful website and the company it represents, the customer simply...

...Ulyssa.Johnson1 Web Site Design Phase 5 Discussion Board Course: EM208-1303B-11 September 18, 2013 • You have been asked by a small business in your area to build a web site for their business (which they are willing to pay you for). Explain the approach you will take to planning (learning about their web site needs) through the design and coding of this web project. During phases 2, 3 and 4 we talked about how important color, typography and the navigation through a site. I spoke about how colors affect a person’s mood and emotions, how using certain typography styles can turn a customer away because it’s frustrating to read also, an excessive amount of navigation buttons could cause the visitor of the site to miss the actual meat and potatoes of said site. When meeting with a potential client to design a web site, I would keep this information in the back of my mind and pass it on to the client if needed. My first question would be how much are you willing to spend? I know that sounds a little harsh but, by their response I can determine if the client wants a site with bells, whistles, 3D graphics and videos to sell their products or a simple quality site that will sell their products too. Then, I would find out what message did the client want to convey on their site. For example, even though it is a small business, do they want to portray a big business establishment or just a local hometown business feel. I would ask which products and services they...

...Kudler Fine Foods Web Site Recommendations Keith Urban, Troy Good, Tina Cox, Sara Jones University of Phoenix WEB/410 November 20, 2006 The design of a web site is the combination of graphical art design and the logical flow of the information the web site will provide. This can be seen in many web sites that have high quality photos and graphics and easy to use menu structures. The photos and graphics are designed to appeal to the target viewer and the menu structure makes the viewer want to return to the site or stay on the site longer. When the graphics on a web site are plan and ordinary or the menu structure is difficult to follow then the person viewing the site losses interest quickly and has little reason to want to return to the web site. Kudler Fine Foods has asked LINC (Logistical Information Networking Consultants) to prepare a report of some recommended changes to their web site. Kudler is looking for ways to increase the number of people visiting their site as well as making it more appealing for visitors to return to the site to learn about new products and recipes. Kudler also wants the new web site to be easy to maintain and offer many new features that some of their competitors already have. This report will first review Kudler Fine Food’s current web site and compare it to what other companies have now. The report will then discuss some recommendations of how to improve Kudler’s current site. The report will explain some of the maintenance...
