Cyb 150 Week 5 Assignment

The current environment you are asked to assess includes:


 The wireless network running WEP – employees often bring in their own access points
because the reception is poor with the company access points.
 No security monitoring or review of security logs
 The data center has about 100 Windows® servers that are patched using Microsoft®
Automatic Updates.
 The firewall is a Cisco® PIX®.
 The backup strategy uses Windows® built-in backup application. The backup is then sent
to the main server every Friday night.
 The disaster recovery plan is to restore the server from the main backup server.
 There are no security policies or standards.
 Employees often bring in their own laptops to use for work because the company
hardware running Windows® 98 is outdated.
 
Write a 3- to 5-page analysis for the security posture of the newly purchased company, as well
as recommendations for upgrading security procedures and measures. Complete the following
in your analysis:
 Summarize the risks in the current environment, the framework used, and key
risk indicators.
 Evaluate and recommend improvements for the following:
 Wireless environment
 Backup and disaster recovery strategies
 Bringing your own access point and laptop policy
 Vulnerability assessment strategy
 Security and network monitoring
 Recommend hardware and software improvements.
 Recommend security policies and standards that should be written and put into
place.
 Recommend an incident response plan that would escalate up through the
corporate security team.
 
Format your analysis according to APA guidelines.
