Network Hardening Unit 8 Assignment 1 It is very important to go through the process of hardening. Hardening is where you change the hardware and software configurations to make computers and devices as secure as possible. I picked the network layout 1-the workgroup . First with the workstations and laptops you need to shut down the unneeded services or programs or even uninstall them. I would also have some good anti-virus software on the workstations. You also need a hardened image for

business than securing your network topology from hardware‚ design and software. This plan is called network hardening and this plan needs to be incredibly detailed with how the network will be secured in each area. The first step to the network hardening plan resides in how you will build the network and then from there how you will secure each section of the network. This paper will discuss access control measures‚ encryption‚ PKI‚ certificates‚ OS hardening‚ application hardening‚ transmission‚ remote

Network security Security has moved to the forefront of network management and implementation. The overall security challenge is to find a balance between two important requirements: the need to open networks to support evolving business opportunities‚ and the need to protect private‚ personal‚ and strategic business information. The application of an effective security policy is the most important step that an organization can take to protect its network. It provides guidelines about the activities

QUESTION1 Power Problems Alternating current (AC)‚ which is “food” to PCs and other network devices‚ is normally 110 volts and changes polarity 60 times a second (or 60 Hertz). These values are referred to as line voltage. Any deviation from these values can create problems for a PC or other network device. Power problems fall into three categories: * Overage * Underage * Quality Power Overage Problems During a power overage‚ too much power is coming into the computer. Power overage

and pirating in the networks is very easy and it can lead to information damage or robbery and also if one compute is affected by a virus it can spread to the other easily. 3. What technology allows computer networks without wires? Wireless networking allows computer networks without wires. 4. Describe the difference between a LAN and a WAN. LAN is local area network‚ it consists of a group of networked computers that all located in one building. But WLAN is wide area network‚ it is a group of

communicate successfully. IEEE 802.11 is a set of standards for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4‚ 3.6‚ 5 and 60 GHz frequency bands. They are created and maintained by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee (IEEE 802). The base version of the standard was released in 1997 and has had subsequent amendments. These standards provide the basis for wireless network products using the Wi-Fi brand. The most prevalent is 802.11b. Equipment using
