Notes

1. Assume that a security model is needed to protect information used in the class you are taking—say, the information in your course’s learning management system. Use the CNSS model to identify each of the 27 cells needed for complete information protection. Write a brief statement that explains how you would address the components represented in each of the 27 cells.

2.Using the Web, research the costs associated with the following items when implemented by a firm with 1000 employees and 100 servers:

a) Managed antivirus software (not open source) licences for 500 workstations

b) CISCO firewall (other than residential models from LinkSys)

c) Tripwire host-based IDS for 10 servers

d) Java programming continuing education training program for 10 employees

e) Checkpoint Firewall solutions


3.Examine the web site of the University of Southern Queensland and identify full- and part-time infoSec jobs. Create an organisational chart showing the reporting structure for these individuals.


4.Using a Web search engine, visit one of the popular disaster recovery/business continuity sites, such as https://www.disasterrecoveryworld.com/, https://drj.com/ , http://drie.org/ , https://drii.org/ , and https://csrc.nist.gov/. Search for the term hot site, warm site, cold site. Do the provided descriptions match those in the textbook, particularly at Chapter 10? Why or Why not?


5.Search the Internet for information about a technology called personal or home office firewalls. Examine the various alternatives, select three of the options, and compare their functionalities, cost features, and type of protection.
