The security consulting firm that you work for has been awarded a contract to implement a new IT Security Infrastru8ture 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 needed to access property records, citing 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.
Instructions
Write a 4–5 page paper in which you:
Create an information flow diagram (using Visio or Dia):
Illustrates how remote users will securely connect to the government agency’s network.
Illustrates the patch of network devices that data packets must travel to get from server to remote user’s device and back to the server. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
