AssignmentYou have been recently hired as a network security analyst for a small accounting firm. The firmis realizing that they need help to secure their network and customer’s data. With yourbackground and skills, they are looking to you to provide guidance. In addition to helping themsecure their network, they require that you obtain your CompTIA Security+ certification within60 days of being hired.In addition to the owner, who serves as the overall business manager, there are about 20 peopleon staff:➢10 accountants➢3 administrative support specialists➢1 vice president➢1 financial manager➢2 internsThere is also one IT support technician on staff, who has basic computer hardware andnetworking knowledge. He has requested that the firm create a website, hosted internally, so thatnew customers can get information about the firm. This will be important to remember as youcomplete your final project.The firm has a simple network. There are currently 20 computers and two multipurpose printers.All computers and printers are connected wirelessly to a NETGEAR MR814 device. This routeris connected to a Motorola SB3100 cable modem. Staff e mail accounts are set up through thecompany’s Internet provider. Employees use a combination of Microsoft Outlook and standardweb browsers to access their e-mail. The owner is known to use his personal iPad during workhours to check and respond to e mail messages.Prior to your hiring, they hired a network cabling contractor to run Cat 6 cables from the centralwiring closet to all offices and cubicles. They want to move away from using wireless as theprimary network connection, but want to keep wireless access for customers coming to thebuilding. The technician who did the wiring mentioned to your supervisor that he should lookinto setting up a Windows Server domain to manage user access, instead of the current peer-to-peer network. He also recommended that the firm invest in a managed switch and a firewall, andlook into having some backups. The internal IT support technician agreed with theserecommendations but needs your help to implement them.You’ve been asked to assess the current vulnerabilities and provide a recommendation to thefirm’s owner on how to better secure the network infrastructure. Now that you are aware of thefirm’s history, your assessment and recommendation should provide specifics about the networksecurity settings that must be implemented and the equipment that must be procured, installed,and configured. The firm’s owner has a basic understanding of computing, so it is important thatyou explain the technical issues in layman's terms.
