ITNA359 Network Administration – discussion 3

/in /by

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.

At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

Research the Web, and select and discuss 3 tools that can be used to test network reliability.

Discussion Board Assignment Guidelines

•   Research network reliability tools, and select 3 of them to analyze.

•   Answer the following questions:

•                           What is the objective of each tool?

•                           How does each tool function with regard to network reliability testing?

•   Post a new topic to the Discussion Board that contains your answers to the 2 questions above.

•   Respond to 2 other students’ posts on the Discussion Board, and critique their answers.

•   Use APA references and citations to support your assertions.

•                           Do not include a table of contents or abstract.

Your submitted assignment (60 points) should include the following:

•   40 Points: Your Discussion Board topic containing your responses to the 2 questions in the assignment guidelines

 

20 Points: Responses to 2 other students’ Discussion Board posts.

structured Assignment_ Preventative controls

/in /by
Detection Controls vs. Prevention Controls – CompTIA Security+ SY0-301: 3.6
Duration: (6:06)

User: Professor Messer – Added: 6/9/11

 

 

Create Preventative Controls for SunGrafix, a video game design company. In some cases, the outage impacts identified in the BIA may be mitigated or eliminated through preventive measures that deter, detect, and/or reduce impacts to the system. Where feasible and cost effective, preventive methods are preferable to actions that may be necessary to recover the system after a disruption. Preventative controls include the identification of effective contingency planning preventive controls and maintaining these controls on an ongoing basis. Identify and incorporate a variety of preventive controls into your BCP. Some of the listed controls are the following:

  • Appropriately sized uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide short-term backup power to all system components (including environmental and safety controls);
  • Gasoline- or diesel-powered generators to provide long-term backup power;
  • Air-conditioning systems with adequate excess capacity to prevent failure of certain components, such as a compressor;
  • Fire suppression systems;
  • Fire and smoke detectors;
  • Water sensors in the computer room ceiling and floor;
  • Heat-resistant and waterproof containers for backup media and vital non electronic records;
  • Emergency master system shutdown switch;
  • Offsite storage of backup media, non-electronic records, and system documentation;
  • Technical security controls, such as cryptographic key management; and
  • Frequent scheduled backups including where the backups are stored (onsite or offsite) and how often they are recirculated and moved to storage.

Which of the following are Bluetooth security issues? (Select all that apply.)

The SymbOS/MultiDropper.CG malware targets the Symbian operating system and comes bundled with different multidropper mobile phone ____________.

____________ is a method that attackers use to hijack BlackBerry connections and make use of the BlackBerry environment to penetrate the security perimeter and attack the host network.

This USB hacking tool runs in the background and automatically downloads the content of any USB drive connected to the system. This tool can be integrated with other hacking tools such as USB Hacksaw and scripts to send downloaded files to remote locations through encrypted e-mail or FTP.

When this is used in an RFID tag, a command can be sent to deactivate the tag and can never be reactivated

This Bluetooth attack causes no damage to the targeted device but may be annoying and disruptive to its victims, similar to e-mail spamming.

This Bluetooth attack allows the attacker to control the Bluetooth-enabled device. After taking control, the attacker can initiate phone calls and send and read SMS messages.

In this Bluetooth attack, the attacker poses as one of the two devices and sends a message to the other, claiming that the device has forgotten the link key and prompting the devices to pair again and generate a new link key. The attacker then uses the new key to eavesdrop on communication between the two devices.

USB drives have a common design flaw: the improper storage of ____________ in the EEPROM.

This cryptographic key is used to generate working session keys for the encrypted exchange of information between two Bluetooth devices.

The ____________ worm spreads by copying itself to removable storage devices as the hidden file oso.exe and creating a hidden Autorun.inf. The worm may also copy itself to the device with nonalphanumeric filenames and with a PIF extension.

A mobile device that is locked, damaged, or destroyed is often called a ____________ device.

____________ is a security tool that alerts system administrators anytime a removable USB storage device is used on any computer on the network.

Electrical attacks on USB drives involve ____________ access to a device’s circuit board.

What type of attack on a USB device driver can allow an attacker to bypass Windows security and gain administrator access on the host machine?

____________ usually happens when large volumes of RFID tags are read together in the same radio-frequency field.

Which type of RFID tag has a read-only chip?

This Bluetooth attack causes a buffer overflow in the victim’s device and is similar to an ICMP ping of death attack.

____________ is a method used to allow the installation of third-party software on an iPhone or iPod Touch device.

 

____________ is a communication service standardized in the GSM mobile communication system that allows exchange of short text messages between mobile telephone devices.

to executive management? In your opinion, why is this the most important risk-mitigation
requirement?
8. Based on your IT risk-mitigation plan, what is the difference between short-term and long-term
risk-mitigation tasks and ongoing duties?
9. For which of the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure is it easy to implement riskmitigation
solutions but difficult to monitor and track effectiveness?
10. Which of the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure usually contains privacy data in
systems, servers, and databases?
11. Which of the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure can access privacy data and also store it
on local hard drives and disks?
12. Why is the Remote Access Domain the most risk-prone of all in a typical IT infrastructure?
13. When considering the implementation of software updates, software patches, and software fixes,
why must you test the upgrade or software patch before you implement it as a risk-mitigation
tactic?
14. Are risk-mitigation policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines needed as part of your longterm
risk-mitigation plan? Why or why not?
15. If an organization under a compliance law is not in compliance, how critical is it for your
organization to mitigate this noncompliance risk element?
