ASSIGNMENTS
• From the devices and systems identified in the GFI Corporate Network Topology, conduct a thorough asset inventory, assign monetary values to each asset (quantitative), and assign a priority value for each asset (qualitative) that could be used to determine which assets are most critical for restoral in the event of a catastrophic event or attack.
• Evaluate the perimeter security, make a list of access points internal and external(remote), identify vulnerabilities and make suggestions for improvements to perimeter and network security.
• Evaluate the remote access infrastructure, identify vulnerabilities and suggest security improvements to mitigate risks to remote access.
• Address the COO's concern over the mobility security and design a secure mobile computing (smart phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) in terms of authentication technologies and dataprotection.
• Identify wireless vulnerabilities and recommend what safeguards, authentication technologies,and network security to protect data should be implemented.
• Evaluate the authentication protocols and methodologies within the wired, wireless, mobility and remote access environments and suggest improvements to secure authentication for GFI.
• Evaluate the web system protocols and vulnerabilities within the Intranet server and suggest secure protocol improvements to improve security for web authentication.
• Design a cloud computing environment for the company with a secure means of data protection at rest, in motion and in process.
• Assess all known vulnerabilities on each asset in this environment and impacts if compromised.
• Using the asset inventory and the assigned values (monetary and priority) conduct a quantitative and qualitative risk assessment of the GFI network.
• Recommend risk mitigation procedures commensurate with the asset values from your asset inventory. Feel free to redesign the corporate infrastructure and use any combination of technologies to harden the authentication processesand network security measures.
• Provide an Executive Summary.
• You are welcome to make assumptions for any unknown facts as long as you support your assumptions.
• The Title Page, Table of Contents and References page(s) don't count in your 15 page minimum!!!
Lets start with the executive summary. Write this last. Describe the purpose of the assessment, the scope, and the overall level of risk the customer has, as well as listing the risks.
The body of the risk assessment should have the details. For the essential elements of information you must provide for your report, see the grading rubric.
1) Inventory assets and prioritize them in the order of mission criticality - Identify all the components on the network. Which are most critical? Assign them a value from most critical to least critical
2) Evaluate enterprise topology and perimeter protection - Identify the topology and protections in place. Give a detailed description of the same, and describe weaknesses and strengths.
3) Evaluate remote access to the networks - Identify the different ways someone can enter the network remotely. Are there weaknesses that create risk.
4) Evaluate authentication protocols and methodologies - What does the company use? Are there weaknesses? Risks?
5) Evaluate web access protocols and vulnerabilities - What protocols are being used. List them. Are there vulnerabilities?
6) Assign asset values to organization assets for quantitative risk assessment - Perform the appropriate assessment. Table format works well for this type of data.
7) Assess vulnerabilities on each asset - Each asset is vulnerable to something. Out of date O/S, physical protections, improper use. Check the National Vulnerability Database, CVE databse, etc and provide the information
8) Recommend risk mitigation procedures commensurate with asset values - Once you identify a risk to an asset, how do you fix it. You can accept a risk, avoid a risk, limit risk, or transfer risk. Give your rationale for each risk you identify.
Each paper should be approximately 15 to 25 pages written, double space (but single space is ok), 12 pt font for the body of the text, not including figures or illustrations. APA format.
