Question

For the Individual Project 3, the focus is to provide specific security implementation recommendations. This is the specific products in terms of hardware and software that will be used to provide security solutions. Think of the type of security solutions that would be helpful for Verbania. I recommend also doing some Internet searches to find a few products that could be recommended. A few examples: • McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise can be selected as an anti-virus/anti-malware solution that will be installed on all desktop computers, laptops, and servers. The software will be set to automatically update on a daily basis. • A Cisco Firepower 9000 series could be recommended for a firewall solution. The objective is focusing on implementation recommendations for security.

Answer 1

Information security always remains a main concern for every organization and it is the responsibility of the business to ensure security related to clients data. So here are few solutions which can be implemented on an infrastructure level to ensure security:

·Symantec endpoint encryption: Through this tool, business can encrypt the whole device, so without proper authentication password, no one will able to access the systems. Even if someone tries to insert any external devices, that external device will get encrypted as well.

·Wireshark: This tool is very important for network security. This tool is used to analyze the traffic coming in and out of the network infrastructure. Moreover, this tool can capture packets from particular traffic entering the network.

·BitLocker: This application is generally used in Windows operating systems where your devices are encrypted with this application. You can use this application onto individual drives also. So, proper password is required to access the device.

VMware AppDefense: this tool is used to secure the application running in your infrastructure. This tool helps in monitoring the application for any changes. In case of any risk, this tool will respond automatically.
