Implementing Security Layers

 

Module 01 Content

  1. This first part of your project focuses on a model of implementing security using layers, segmentation and other basic security techniques to re-design the network accordingly.

    In this assignment, you are to design a network to incorporate and secure both the Chicago and Denver networks. This is a top-level network design updating the current designs provided. There is a separate design for the current Bering (Chicago) and Unicorp (Denver) sites and you will need to integrate and secure both sites. You will use the following two drawings:

    Module01NetworkDiagramChicago.zipModule01NetworkDiagramDenver.zipFor each network, you will need to add firewalls, routers and connectivity to the internet for site-to-site communications. Assume you have the funds and abilities to add any security measures that you may feel is needed. 

    For your project, you will submit a design proposal in which you:

    1. Use Microsoft Visio to design a network diagram, particularly with defense in depth in mind which depicts how you will connect and secure the Chicago and Denver networks.
    2. Indicate the following on your drawings:
    3. The location of databases. Denver has several databases (customer, product, employee, payroll and manufacturing). Indicate which of these you would consolidate in Chicago and which database or databases would remain in multiple locations (you can assume databases in multiple locations would be synchronized). Explain your decision.
    4. All network devices used (routers, switches, hubs, firewalls, VPNs, and / or others)
    5. The interconnections between network devices.
    6. The end user (client) devices (desktops, laptops, mobile devices)
    7. The internet cloud, generically, to represent your network’s interface to the Internet
    8. Briefly describe how your network design provides multiple layers of security in a word document.
    9. Notes on submission:

    • Insert the Visio diagrams into the body of your design proposal so that THEY are active and editable. You should not be using screenshots.
    • Focus on routers, switches, firewalls, hubs, and interfaces between devices. Do not add wireless connectivity.
    • Your analysis should use professional tone and vocabulary, APA format, and proper spelling and grammar.

Create Your Schedule

 

Input all the due dates into a planner. Then break down your daily activities, giving yourself two tasks to complete during each study session. Work ahead whenever you can.

—Brianna C., Environmental Management major 

Whether you’re a first-time university student or returning to school after taking a break, it is important to set aside time to study and engage in your learning. And with the flexibility and autonomy that comes with being an online student, it is critical to schedule time to regularly access the virtual classroom, interact with your peers and instructor, study the course materials, and stay on top of the due dates for discussions, projects, and assignments. 

As an online university student, you’ll encounter and receive advice on a variety of tools and tactics to help you succeed as a learner in the online classroom. For this activity, we’ll focus on three effective tactics to support learning: time management strategies, schedules, and note taking. First, you’ll read about ways to manage your time, ideas for creating a schedule, time management do’s and don’ts, and note taking methods. Once you’ve finished the readings, you will devise a schedule. 

The tasks for completing this activity are as follows:

Using your syllabus for PACE 111 and any other class you are enrolled in this semester, create a schedule for the next four weeks.   

When you’re creating your schedule, remember to incorporate time for reading, coursework, and assignments as outlined in your syllabus. Also factor in time for dealing with daily life occurrences such as work, cleaning, childcare, and so on. Take the time to include details so that you don’t forget any of your tasks.

You’ll also want to list two or three concrete steps you can take to incorporate school more fully into your schedule. Try to get support from your partner, children, friends, your community, or professional services to take on some of your obligations outside of school, such as cooking or watching the kids. That way you will have more time in your schedule to devote to your studies. 

If you do not already keep a detailed schedule, you may use the attached calendar template to build on. If you do already keep a detailed schedule, you may provide a copy of that instead (be sure to include four full weeks and the concrete steps you’ll take to incorporate school into your life). You may find Tips for Organizing Your Planner helpful.

css215 discussion post

Choose a transaction that you are likely to encounter, perhaps ordering a cap and gown for graduation, and develop a context diagram. Explain the nature of the transaction and why you chose certain elements as processes versus sources/sinks. Copy/paste the diagram as a part of your discussion posting.

Network Diagram

 

Diagram a business network with Internet access that consists of the following items.

In your diagram also include any devices, i.e. routers, necessary to facilitate secure access to the Internet and be sure to label all devices and delineate all communication methods, protocols and directions of network traffic.

Final Paper

 

The final portfolio project is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 scholarly sources cited). 

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (1-2 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology? 

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (1-2 pages):  One of our topics in Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately 5-8 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 7-10 pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Repost Project management

 

Assignment: Prepare a Scope Management Plan

Base the assignment on a fictional business that has its own in-house development staff. Pick an IT-related project that is sufficiently large/complex that will take between 9-12 months to complete. One of the purposes of the plan is how you will deal with scope creep. There is no required format, but it should be well organized, easy to understand. You will be graded on both the content and your level of understanding of the topic.

Purpose: To demonstrate your understanding of managing project scope.

Content: Your plan must have the following sections:

  • Introduction
  • Management Approach
  • Roles and Responsibilities
  • Scope Definition
  • Project Scope Statement
  • Gathering Requirements
  • WBS
  • Scope Verification
  • Scope Control

Normally, the plan should have the following:

  • The management approach would include the type of “model” (like waterfall)
  • You’d have a listing of the WBSs
  • You’d have how often the workers report their status
  • You’d have how you plan to control scope creep
  • The verification would include how you know you met the requirements

Requirements:

  • At least 3 pages (single spaced) long.
  • No more than 35% of the content is copied

Expectations: A single Microsoft Word document
