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.

         server.

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.
