Task
Write around 600 to 800 words for each of the short-essay questions. All questions are of equal value. You should provide credible references for each question according to the Faculty of Business guidelines.
Topic 1- Introduction to Information Security
Question 1 Consider the TJX data breach case discussed in Chapter 1 of the textbook.
(a) Using the library and/or textbook to address who would be likely the victims in the TJX breach. (2.5 marks)
(b) Discuss which of the CIA goals that TJX has failed to achieve in this attack. (2.5 marks)
Topic 2 – Cryptography
Question 2
(a) Explain why cryptography is not an automatic protection. (2 marks)
(b) Identify potential security threats associated with authentication via digital signatures and digital certificates. Explain each and describe how you would address each threat. (3 marks)
Topic 3 – Network Security fundamentals – 1
Question 3
(a) Explain ARP poisoning and provide suitable methods to prevent ARP attacks. (2.5 marks)
(b) The 802.1X standard today is being applied primarily to wireless LANs rather than to wired LANs. Why do you think that is? (2.5 marks)
Topic 3 – Network Security fundamentals – 1
Question 4
(a) With 802.11 security issues in WLAN recently, discuss why turning off Service Set Identifier (SSID) and applying MAC access control list in an Access Point would not completely address security vulnerability for wireless network. (2.5 marks)
(b) Given the weakness of commercial WAN security, why do you think companies continue to use WAN technology without added cryptographic protections? (2.5 marks)
Topic 4 – Network Security fundamentals – 2
Question 5
(a) Before you run a password cracking program on your company’s computers to check for weak passwords, what should you do? (2 marks)
(b) Your friend wants to secure his or her desktop PC with fingerprint scanning or password access protection. Give your friend the information that he or she should know to make the decision. Consider alternatives. (3 marks)

“Challenges in the Future”
? Danka is a very interesting company to study, I discovered many issues with Danka which can be said as challenges in the future. Danka is a company that needs to ask itself the following questions:
o What are our core competencies?
o Are our processes creating value?
o What are our tangible and intangible resources? Are they efficient for our ?
o What are our primary and support activities in our value chain? And how can they be improved?
……. QUESTION TITLE :- Question about Value chain analysis
How does TCP/IP perform address resolution from URLs into network layer addresses?
Figure P1.4-18 plots a complex signal w(t) in the complex plane over the time range (0 ≤ t ≤ 1). The time t = 0 corresponds with the origin, while the time t = 1 corresponds with the point (2,1). In the complex plane, plot w(t) over (−1 ≤ t ≤ 1) if
(a) w(t) is an even signal
(b) w(t) is an odd signal
(c) w(t) is a conjugate-symmetric signal
(d) w(t) is a conjugate-antisymmetric signal
How is it solved?
This assignment consists of two parts. Part 1 relates to the improvement of the network security posture of an organisation and is worth 25 marks. This part will mainly test your knowledge that you will gain during the lectures and study materials that are available through Blackboard. Part 2 of the assignment is worth 15 marks and will test your hands-on experience on the use of cybersecurity tools such as ‘Nmap’ (Network Mapper) and ‘Wireshark’. You are encouraged to use a Virtual Machine, preferably ‘Kali Linux’, and start looking for various resources for information on the use and deployment of these tools. You are also encouraged to make maximum use of the ‘Lynda Campus’ resource freely accessible on the Student Portal to get you started on both parts. Also, you should start coming to grips with the use of Virtual Machine software such as ‘VMWare’ and how to open a ‘Kali Linux’ machine within a VM from the first week of the semester. It is also worth mentioning that the final exam is designed to test your knowledge and skills developed through this course, of which, the major assignment is an integral part. Part 1 (Network Design): ‘Lucent Pharma’ is a pharmaceutical firm based in Perth and has two offices in two different suburbs. The firm’s current network topology was deployed in haste and as such does not have any effective security control. The CEO of the firm has started feeling the concerns around the cyber security of its network, as Lucent Pharma’s business is flourishing, and competitors are also becoming more and more active in the region. The current network topology of Lucent Pharma is given in Figure 1. Requirement: As a network security consultant, you are required to: 1. Analyse the current network topology implemented at ‘Lucent Pharma’ and identify five major vulnerabilities that exist in the network. You are also required to provide sound reasoning behind these identified vulnerabilities. (3 marks) 2. Place the following security devices/controls, bearing in mind that these devices do not compromise either the network performance or the security of the network: a. Firewall b. IDS/IPS c. Honeypot d. Routers/Switches e. Other devices that may add value to the ‘Lucent Pharma’ network Semester 1, 2018 Page 2 of 5 3. Explain/Justify why these devices were placed in the chosen locations in (2)? (5 marks for 2 and 3) 4. Does the Lucent Pharma network require segregation into multiple domains (i.e. requirement of VLANs)? If yes, please add these additional sub-networks to yourtopology. (3 marks) 5. Create a set of firewall policies and a set of firewall rules that should be implemented by the network administrator for firewall(s) placed in the network. Policies must be sound and robust to cover the cyber-security of the entire network. (2 marks) 6. Create a set of IDS/IPS policies and corresponding rules that are to be implemented by the
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English
