1)Create a topology diagram of a LAN that's connected to a WAN, including the network devices required for the security of both inbound and outbound message traffic. Include 5 LANs throughout the world that talk to HQ and the internet. Don't worry, there is no specific grading on this assignment. Its purpose is to allow you to demonstrate your understanding of where the network security devices are placed in a network, which also indicates their purpose for the most part. Below your drawing, list the network security devices by type that you've included, and the protection each is to provide, and generally how they will do that. Submit both your drawing and your descriptions. 2. Organizations test their security systems and protocols on a regular basis. To do this, they form teams that carry out the roles of attackers and defenders, and occasionally both. These teams are identified by a color, usually red, blue, and, sometimes, purple. Research security teams and write a description of at least 250 words that explains how these teams are used, their purposes, what they do, and when they do it. 3. There are numerous applications for the use of Biometrics technology, including the following: • • • • • Logical Access Control; Physical Access Control; Time and Attendance; Law Enforcement; Surveillance. For each of these application areas, identify the type(s) of biometric devices or technologies that would provide the best security and control. Complete sentences, please. 4. Physical security is often a second priority in an information security program. Since physical security has technical and administrative elements, it often takes a backseat to the security of data and other information technology assets. Protecting important data, confidential information, networks, software, equipment, facilities, company’s assets, and personnel is what physical security is about. There are two major types of physical security issues: natural and man-made. Natural physical security issues include floods, fire, power fluctuations, severe weather, war, etc., which can cause a permanent loss of data. Man-made physical security issues are typically some form of an attack by a malicious party, which includes terrorism, vandalism, and theft. These events affect the entire organization. Identify two physical security threats (one of each type), their potential damage and its impact on the organization, and the countermeasures you'd install or implement to mitigate their disruptions.
