Risk Management or Assessment To lessen the exposure of the corporate network to outside sources, there are many matters to consider. Areas of concern with the VPN client that should be addressed include: the potential hazards of the “always connected” nature of broadband Internet connections, installation of personal firewalls, antivirus software, and the remote PC itself. Analysis of the client PC begins with the PC itself. It is recommended that security policy require the VPN host to be company issued equipment, rather than using the existing user’s personal property. This eliminates problems associated with mixing business and personal information. When under company ownership it is easier to require the end user to comply with policy, and insist the PC be used only for business-related purposes. As the hardware is company-owned, users will not be given administrator account rights on their desktop machines. Controlling user activity as well as checking and maintaining desktop integrity is very difficult (if not impossible) when users have complete control through administrator rights. Company provided hardware also serves to minimize management issues, as the computer should remain relatively static - with no unauthorized software installations, end-user configuration changes or device conflicts to troubleshoot, support calls are reduced. In addition to

Team “C” was hired by Riordan Manufacturing management to overhaul the security features currently employed by the company. Management outlined a comprehensive plan that included a complete hardware refresh, security best practices and end user training. Team “C” will devote resources to assess the physical and network security issues and concerns at each Riordan plant. Once those have been identified, Team “C” will identify the data security issues and concerns present at each Riordan plant. Finally, Team “C” will address web security issues and concerns present at each Riordan plant and recommend a way forward for the company.

The consumer expects that when using a public computer for a specified task such as printing through a service, that the data or material is protected from other users including employees. When using a public computer for internet surfing, tax filing banking, etc. the general public user does not always think about the threats to security of their own personal information. It is important for the company to protect the users in addition to the users understanding the potential threats that exist when entering personal information.

The workstation domain is used to access the network by the end user. In order for work tasks to be completed, the organization has to give certain access to the end user. The end user must first use their active directory or authentication credentials to log on to the workstation. If more than one person can access the same workstation the settings must prevent the end users from accessing and affecting one another. This is achieved by limiting the

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.

Businesses are becoming ever more dependent on digital information and electronic transactions, and as a result face stringent data privacy compliance challenges and data security regulations. With the enterprise increasingly under threat of cyber attacks and malicious insiders, business applications and networks are now dependent on the use of digital credentials to control how users and entities access sensitive data and critical system resources.

With many companies allowing/requiring their employees to work and connect remotely, authentication plays a key role in the security of a corporation. With sensitive data being available outside of a localized network, it is important to verify the identity of connecting employees in a secure and encrypted way to prevent interception by attackers that would hope to gain by a lapse in security. There are different methods for which this authentication can be achieved. Some are more secure than others but all should involve the transfer of the sensitive login data being encrypted. This paper will discuss some of the differing methods that may be used in a remote login authentication system.

In the Workstation Domain security controls are one of the biggest challenges. Physical security threats are concerns associated more with attackers who gain physical access to the premises. The attackers can cause physical destruction of equipment or sabotage the equipment. The attacker can sabotage the system if the attacker has sufficient knowledge of the system, such as a former employee, and gains access to the system and then renders the system unusable, or deletes and changes information.

Remote and mobile user laptops are encrypted and require an RSA USB encryption token to unencrypted the mobile workstation upon boot.
