The 9-Iron Country Club is trying to implement a remote access program for their employees to access their work from home. The 9-Iron Country Club provides services for more than 1,200 members and employs around 75 staff. During the winter months, outdoor operations are ceased and preparation for the upcoming seasons begins. The addition of a remote access option will give the staff the ability to securely work from home and provide continued support. The 9-Iron Country Club has hired an information consultant to prepare the network and provide recommendations for the remote access solution. The purposed solution is using Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) to provide a secure remote connection for all employees. This report will review TACACS+ implementation, risk involved, and data classification. TACACS+ was developed by CISCO is the new open standard for remote access and uses the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) architecture. TACACS+ provides a quick and easy merging with the current network. The implementation of TACACS+ will provide the employees of The 9-Iron Country Club with everything they have requested. TACACS+ will continue to provide the needed remote access solution with its updateability for many years to come. …show more content…
With today’s technology, security has become the center point of most strives in technology. The security that TACACS+ will provide helps outweigh the risk of implementing remote access. Through dedicated logging and monitoring, TACACS+ is a very secure protocol that provides continuing support. The 9-Iron Country Club must train all employees who will be using remote access to mitigate risk of breach. The training provide will include an acceptable use policy, account protection measures, secure log-in procedures, and awareness
With the use of remote access solution to balance the need for mobile access and user productivity is one way to keep corporate resources secure. The Portal app for iOS and Android devices simplifies secure mobile access to Riordan web applications that reside behind the access policy manager and Gateway. With the Portal applications, employees can access internal web pages and web applications fast. The Portal, along with customers’ existing Gateway, and access policy manager deployments, provides access to internal web applications such as Riordan intranet sites. This portal access provides a launch pad that IT department use to allow mobile access to precise web resources, without exposing full network access from unknown devices. Riordan employees can sync their e-mail, calendar, and contacts directly to the company Microsoft Exchange Server. This also permits IT department to award secure mobile access to web-based resources.
There is a mess of servers, switches, switches, and inward equipment firewalls. Each of the association's areas is working with diverse data advances and foundation IT frameworks, provisions, and databases. Different levels of IT security and access administration have been actualized and inserted inside their individual areas. The data engineering framework is maturing and numerous areas are running on antiquated fittings and programming. Additionally, the framework is woefully out-of-dated regarding fixes and overhauls which significantly expand the danger to the arrange as far as classifiedness, trustworthiness, and accessibility.
56. Does the secure protocols are being used for administrative functions and transmission of login
TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System), it uses TCP Protocol and Port 49. Also it encrypts the entire payload and separates Authentication & Authorization.
This implementation of secure remote access extends the secure network to the remote user using a secure PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) connection.
One of the most important security considerations is how remote clients will be authenticated. PAP (password authentication protocol) will be used. Individuals who remotely access the network will do so by using company issued devices. They are to use the same security considerations they would be subject to at their on-site workstations. Remote access servers will use encryption methods and be closely monitored.
In the interest of business continuity, remote access will be utilized. User wishing access to internal network assets will only be able to access said assets with the use of a
This is an open exposure due to the uncertainties of the internet. Controlling access to information systems and associated networks is necessary for the preservation of their confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality assures that the information is not disclosed to unauthorized persons or processes. Any automated attacks or personal attack or attack to exploit the company secrets/statistics/data is the biggest threat to that may occur without the firewall.
The analysis of the problem should take a day. At the analysis stage we determine the solution. The solution has been identified as the installation of the access control system. At this stage the system parts are identified; they include input, output, communication devices, power supplies, detection devices, intelligent panels, card readers, lock hardware, the actions and the response of the system in case of violation of the input requirements or failure of the system.
Callaway Golf Company (CGC) excelled in designing, development, manufacture and marketing of Golf clubs and accessories. Established in 1982, the publicly traded company recorded a steady growth in sales from $5million in 1988 to $800 million in 1997. This was possible due to clarity in vision of its CEO Ely Callaway, which was aimed at making a satisfying product which was uncommon and enjoyable for the average player rather than professionals. The revolutionary clubs were sold to professional as well as average players at premium prices driven by the high performance delivered by them.
Callaway Golf Company is considered a leader of the golf equipment industry through its development of technologically advanced golf clubs that compensated for the most amateur players with poor swings and helping them achieve a better golf game with the introduction of Big Bertha in 1990 and launched Callaway Golf Company forward at great speed into notoriety of the golfing community (Gamble, 2000). This analysis will thoroughly dive into the many parts of the case of the Callaway Golf Company.
Callaway Golf Company’s (CGC) had seven key success factors to include: the founder’s vision; product design; pricing; product development; sales; marketing and the media.
2. Remote Access Policies – users are always going to want to access the office network from a remote site. We have to ensure that there are policies in place that allow them to do so but in a safe manner. If they are going to remotely access the network it has to be done in accordance with the security policies of the organization and not on their terms. This should include using a laptop or remote connection software that has been pre-approved by the organizations security team, keeping IP’s in a safe place, making sure that if they are accessing the network from a laptop to ensure that hard drive is encrypted. This will prevent anyone from gaining access the sensitive information if it is ever lost or stolen. Lastly not everyone should be granted remote access to the network; this privilege should only be given to people who have a legitimate need for it.
For the most part we have addresses the needs of our sales force on a case by case basis but going forward we really need to ensure we have a defined policy to streamline remote access. To accomplish this there are a few benchmarks we need to achieve. First of all the network has to be reliable or in more technical terms it needs to have high
The intent of this security proposal is to ensure the ongoing protection and data security for a government agency's data center. Security and access privileges will be defined at the role and department levels, with added authentication for system administrators and members of the IT staff. Role-based access to this government facility will be tracked continually and reported using real-time log reporting and analysis (Amsel, 1988). This role-based approach to managing security will provide for inclusion of authentication, detection and deterrence in the areas of social engineering, firewalls, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), authentication, security protocols and vulnerability assessments.
