CS1

Part 1

In preparation for your network design project, discuss with your classmates ideas for addressing the security vulnerabilities in the network design. In your discussion, address the following: 

• What challenges will need to be addressed with the U.S. Navy project described in your scenario?
• What types of vulnerabilities need to be addressed in the design?
• Where might there be points of failure in the design?
• What areas concern you about securing the network?
• What steps would you recommend to overcome those concerns?  

Outline your ideas in a 3–5-paragraph posting. Study the postings of at least 2 other classmates and respond to them with comments and questions. Ask for clarifications of their ideas if necessary. 

Be sure to document your references using APA format. 

part2

You have been asked to make a presentation about the steps necessary to secure the back-end DB2 database within your organization. Address the following in the presentation:

• Introduction regarding description and importance of security in depth
• UNIX/LINUX server vulnerabilities
• Hardening the UNIX/LINUX system
• Deployment of a Web server to be used by Navy intelligence for checking on project progress
• Apache and Internet information server (IIS)—research and explain how these options might be used for the secure Web server scenario 

Prepare an 8–12-slide presentation to address these points. The presentation planned should last about half an hour. Include speaker notes in the presentation. Plan the presentation and speaker notes so that someone else could actually give the presentation.  

Be sure to document your references using APA format.
