Project Part 1- Executive Summary & Tasks 1,2,3
Dear Sir or Madam,
After evaluating the business needs of First World Bank Savings and Loan (FWBSL) and the use of secure open source software to enhance security and reduce business costs, I have concluded that the best option would be to introduce Centos to the network. The reason I chose this is because they offer free software and it also mirrors Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Centos offer many online support options and can be updated regularly. Listed below are the server options that I suggest are the best option for FWBSL:
Database Server: MySQL
Web Server: Apache
File Server: Samba
Mail Server: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
LDAP Server: Open LDAP
First World Bank Savings and Loan will need to implement a three tier platform architecture that will offer more security for their clients and business needs. Implementing this type of platform will ensure that FWBSL will not be in trouble with GLBA and will keep them compliant with PCI DSS.
Tier One Client Side
Tier Two Applications
Tier Three Servers
I hope this give First World Bank Savings and Loan a brief description of what needs to be implemented within the company in order to offer better services and still stay compliant with the State and Federal Regulations.
Thank you,
Project Part 1
Task 1
First World Bank Savings and Loan (FWBSL) needs to consider the increased revenue and cost that will be present if they decide to offer secure services to their clients. With them expecting to have over $100,000,000 a year for online credit cards and loan applications together with other banking services, they are also expected to provide this service while paying close attention to the three security priorities which are: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Customers expect FWBSL to be diligent when it comes to protecting their accounts and Nonpublic Personal Information. If something were to go wrong they could lose credibility with their current and potential
