Assignment 2: Implementing Network and Personnel Security
Measures

Due Week 8 and worth 100 points

The security consulting firm that you work for has been
awarded a contract to implement a new IT Security Infrastructure to secure the
Information Technology data assets of a local government agency. This agency has many remote workers that are
in the field and need to connect back to the agency’s system servers. The
remote workers use a wireless network infrastructure to connect their
electronic pads to servers located within the local government’s facility. The
remote workers have needs to access property records, cite zoning violations
electronically, and validate building permits. The public demand to expand IT
services has grown faster than its ability to provide an adequately secured
infrastructure. In fact, this government entity was previously featured on the
news for having minimal security controls and methods for accessing property
tax information of citizens. The inadequate security allowed many construction
trade businesses to illegally access property records and zoning violations.
Your role in this project is to enhance and optimize the security mechanisms
for accessing these systems.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Create an information flow diagram, using Visio or Dia,
which:

a. Illustrates
how remote users will securely connect to the government agency’s network.

b. Illustrates
the patch of network devices that data packets must travel to get from server
to remote user’s device and back to

server.

Note: The
graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

2. Provide an equipment list of network security devices
that would be needed to ensure the integrity and sensitivity of private

information. In
this list:

a. Propose at
least two (2) vendor brands per each device and the associate costs required to
procure these items.

b. Identify the
functionality each device serves and the expected benefits the government
agency should experience upon the

successful
installation of this equipment.

3. Develop a maintenance plan that should be recommended to
the government agency to ensure having the latest security measures

available within
the network in which you:

a. Describe the
risks associated with not fulfilling the activities outlined within your
maintenance plan.

b. Indicate
specific activities, personnel / resources required, and frequency of
execution.

4. Recommend at least four (4) physical security measures
that could be developed to ensure the electronic perimeter of electronic

assets.

5. Recommend at least two (2) physical security vendors that
could achieve the four (4) security measures you identified. Justify your

recommendations
with your response.

6. Evaluate and consider activities that the Human Resources
Department could perform in order to complement and instill security

from within the
organization. Provide a rationale with your response.

7. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this
assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality

resources.
