...Wireless Vulnerabilities DUE DATE: 01/10/2016 ISSC 680 BY: TAMMY BATTLE PROFESSOR: Dr. Louay Karadsheh Introduction What is vulnerability? Vulnerabilities are shortcomings in the physical design, association, strategies, work force, administration, organization, equipment, or programming that might be misused to make hurt framework. The objective of the preparatory helplessness evaluation is to add to a rundown of framework vulnerabilities (defects or shortcomings) that could be misused by a potential danger. For new frameworks, the quest for vulnerabilities ought to concentrate on security arrangements, arranged methodology, framework necessities definitions, and security item examination. For operational frameworks, break down specialized and procedural security highlights and controls used to ensure the framework. Weakness investigation includes the accompanying five security control territories: (FAA) * Technical – the computer hardware and software, modes of communication, and the system architecture. * Operational - methods that individuals perform as for as information system * Administrative - feeble countermeasures in the authoritative methodology that influence the information systems. * Physical - frail countermeasures in the physical design of, and access to, offices and fenced in areas where computerized data frameworks are house. * Personnel - feeble countermeasures in approach, procedure, and methods utilized for security screening...

...SECURING WI-FI ROGUE ACESS WITHIN AN ENTERPRISE SETTING Securing Wi-Fi Rogue Access within an Enterprise Setting Daniel Joel Clark A Capstone Presented to the Information Technology College Faculty of Western Governors University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Information Security Assurance January 9, 2014 1 SECURING WI-FI ROGUE ACESS WITHIN AN ENTERPRISE SETTING 2 A1 - Abstract Since 1999 wireless devices have become a necessity in enterprises. While increasing convenience, connectivity, and productivity, they also pose an unprecedented threat to network security guarding, which has literally taken to the airwaves. This paper will deal with vulnerabilities and risks regarding access points (APs) in a wireless network (WLAN) connecting to a wired local area network (LAN) in enterprises. Data for this paper will come from published academic papers, industry publications including white papers and surveys, and industry specialists. It will also include definitions of terms, policy and procedures that affect access points, and current practices regarding rogue APs. A case study will be presented for a fictional enterprise with multiple locations that has standard procedures, policies, and protocols in place, but recent events have questioned their ability to control access points with the discovery of rogue devices hidden in several office locations. Industry warnings about access points span the...

... Foundations of Network Security Fundamentals of Network Security 2 Firewall Fundamentals 43 VPN Fundamentals 79 Network Security Threats and Issues 111 CHAPTer Fundamentals of Network Security 1 C OMPUTER NETWORK SECURITY is very complex. New threats from inside and outside networks appear constantly. Just as constantly, the security community is always developing new products and procedures to defend against threats of the past and unknowns of the future. As companies merge, people lose their jobs, new equipment comes on line, and business tasks change, people do not always do what we expect. Network security configurations that worked well yesterday, might not work quite as well tomorrow. In an ever-changing business climate, whom should you trust? Has your trust been violated? How would you even know? Who is attempting to harm your network this time? Because of these complex issues, you need to understand the essentials of network security. This chapter will introduce you to the basic elements of network security. Once you have a firm grasp of these fundamentals, you will be well equipped to put effective security measures into practice on your organization’s network. While this textbook focuses on general network security, including firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs), many of the important basics of network security are introduced in this chapter. In Chapters 1–4, network security fundamentals...

...chapter 2 40 Chapter 2 you. I’ve asked Charlie Moody to come in today to talk about it. He’s waiting to speak with us.” When Charlie joined the meeting Fred said, “Hello, Charlie. As you know, the Board of Directors met today. They received a report on the expenses and lost production from the worm outbreak last month, and they directed us to improve the security of our technology. Gladys says you can help me understand what we need to do about it.” “To start with,” Charlie said, “instead of setting up a computer security solution, we need to develop an information security program. We need a thorough review of our policies and practices, and we need to establish an ongoing risk management program. There are some other things that are part of the process as well, but these would be a good start.” “Sounds expensive,” said Fred. Charlie looked at Gladys, then answered, “Well, there will be some extra expenses for specific controls and software tools, and we may have to slow down our product development projects a bit, but the program will be more of a change in our attitude about security than a spending spree. I don’t have accurate estimates yet, but you can be sure we’ll put cost-benefit worksheets in front of you before we spend any money.” Fred thought about this for a few seconds. “OK. What’s our next step?” Gladys answered, “First, we need to initiate a project plan to develop our new information security program. We’ll use our usual systems development and project...
