Unit 1 – Individual Project (100 points)

Due: Sun, Apr 9 |Printer Friendly Version

Description

Throughout this course, you will be working on several aspects of network security that will result in a complete Network Security Plan Document for an organization of your choosing. Providing security to the organization and protecting valuable corporate assets requires careful planning. The alternative could be disastrous for any organization. A properly designed network security plan provides a methodology for evaluating and protecting the organization’s assets. Each week, you will complete a part of your Network Security Plan, with the final draft due at the end of the course.

You will select an organization and apply your research to the analysis and development of a Network Security Plan document that would be appropriate for the organization and the needs it has for security. Additional information and the deliverables for each Individual Project will be provided in the assignment descriptions each week. This is the course’s Key Assignment that you will make contributions to each week.

Project Selection:

The first step will be to select an organization as the target for your Network Security Plan document. This organization will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:

·
Nontrivial: The selected organization should be large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the development of a network security plan.

·
Domain Knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the organization to allow focus on the project tasks without significant time required for domain education.

·
Accessibility: You should have access to the people and other information related to the organization because this will be an important part of the process.

·
Note: The selected organization may already have a security plan in place and may still be used as the basis for the projects in this course.

·
Note: The selected organization must have a need for network security as part of its operations. Therefore, you may feel free to identify a hypothetical organization that meets the requirements. Any necessary assumptions may be made to fulfill the requirements of the organization selection.

Select an existing organization, or identify a hypothetical organization that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first few days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project
