• Provide recommendations to secure the computers in the Marketing department of this organization.

These computers travel outside of the network, so you need to consider how they will connect to the home server, and what should be done to protect them. You should consider the level of access they have to the network and the consequence if they are stolen or used by someone outside of the organization.

• Provide recommendations for securing network traffic between the workstations within the building and the server. Identify trust boundaries for the organization and recommend security measures for each trust boundary.

Characterize which trust boundaries represent the highest level of trust and those that represent the lowest; what is the distinction between these levels?

• Recommend measures to harden the server OS to prevent outsiders from accessing the networked computers. Identify the services for your recommended OS that will aid in the security effort.

Explain the policy that should be used for patches and updated on both the server and the workstation OSs. Why is this an important consideration?

• Secure the database of the organization and assign the required permissions to the users. You should create a chart of groups and permissions for this portion of the assignment (you do not need to identify specific tables, just information groups).

• Describe the implementation process and timeline for your recommendations. Try to give as reasonable a timeline as possible and explain the timeframe you choose.

• Expand the section of your report for verifying the implementation of the previously suggested security recommendations from Week 1 and 2 Identify what is being tested for each verification activity and what is proven by each activity. This should include testing activities to make sure the security system is working properly. An example of this would be using an intentionally incorrect password to make sure the system does not allow the login.

• Be sure to include your references and citations for the measures and activities you suggest. You should have gathered this from the research in the library or on the Internet. Support your responses with appropriate research, reasoning, and examples.
