Notes

Four teams
Computer science | Engineering | Math | Physics
Each team has 20 pc`s
Integrated in 2 office buildings | |


Each PE (Publishing editors )has access to their own content only & Shared team documentation ( File server)
PLT can access all the material for the team


Each team has their own secured area on the network
SBP receives manuscripts from their authors from the PRS
PLT then assigns the manuscripts to the PE

Documentation and Software are on the File server
manuscript has been reviewed, it is uploaded to the Secure Publishing Server (SPS)

SBP also maintains a team of three Network Administrators who have full admin access to
the entire network

SPM and CEO have access to all the company documentation

SBP is planning to close one of the office buildings to allow the workers to work from home due to efficiency


1 building:
Configuration -

Top Floor: Data Centre, RPS and SPS

Middle Floor: Suite( 5 meeting rooms WIRED AND WIRELESS ACCESS) Network server room cont: Network & email servers, Network Admins room ( 1 a day) ,
1 machine
Bottom Floor: 20 open plan hot desks < employees can plug in cable to laptop and start working from the network>


WORKING FROM HOME:
Company laptop per employee < stfwre firewall and a vpn client>
Data <company file servers>
high-throughput VPN server will need to be installed and configured to allow secure connectivity for all remote working employees
The security model of all company data must be preserved <Encryption>
office software must be accessed using a cloud-based delivery model, e.g. Google Docs, Office 365, OneDrive
Each employee is to be based in mainland UK

SBP also wants to explore moving the company data located on the fileserver to a cloud-based offering such as SharePoint or Google Workspace
The data center can handle high-volume traffic of data from inside and outside the organisation.
The ground and middle floors have a mixture of wired and wireless connectivity.
All Publishing Teams are isolated from each other.
There is proper consideration given to network security to minimise a data breach.
A firewall will need to be installed and configured to allow inbound and outbound traffic.
There is no lag of data traffic between floors and no connectivity ‘dead-spots’.
Any data sent to a cloud server or stored on the RPS server is encrypted.
There are robust backup facilities in place for the SBP data in case of a data loss or security breach.
The current network security model for teams and employees is preserved even though employees are working from home.
