Security Requirements
New Content for Section 1: Project Outline
For this assignment, be sure to include the following:
• Provide a brief description of the organization that will be used as the basis for the projects in the course.
• Include the company size, location, and other pertinent information.
• The organization should be large enough to require a Web-based or Internet network with security as an important factor in the infrastructure design.
New Content for Section 1: Security Requirements
For this part of the Key Assignment, include the following:
• Provide an overview of the new Web-based or Internet network the organization plans to implement.
• Prepare an overview of the security requirements for the network, including a discussion of the services that the overall network will support and areas for consideration to secure them.
Network Security Architecture Design Document
This course is comprised of a series of Individual Project assignments that will contribute to a Key Assignment submission at the end of the course. Each week, you will complete a part of a Network Security Architecture Design document. You will select a newer organization and apply your research to the development of a Network Security Architecture Design that would be appropriate for the organization to implement a new Web-based or Internet network with an overall security architecture included in its design.
You will be given a Key Assignment to develop a Network Security Architecture Design document for an organization of your choosing. The goal of this project is to develop the security architecture design for a new Web-based or Internet network.
Organization Selection
The first step will be to select an organization as the target for your Network Security Architecture Design 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 organization should be large enough, and require a sufficiently sized network to allow reasonable exercise of the network security architecture research and design process. The organization can be fictional if necessary, and appropriate assumptions may be made.
• 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 good access to the people and other information related to the project, because this will be an important part of the process.
Select an organization that meets 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 several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and the notification that will be given for project approval.
Key Assignment
For the assignments in this course, you will be developing a Network Security Architecture Design document that defines the security design for the organization's Web-based or Internet network. Your first task in this process will be to select an organization to use as the basis of your research and analysis for each of the assignments in the course. You will also create the shell document for the final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final document to gradually complete the final project delivery. Appropriate research should be conducted to support the development of your document, and assumptions may be made when necessary.
The project deliverables are as follows:
• Submit your project proposal to your instructor for approval
• Network Security Infrastructure Design Document
• Use Word
• Title Page
o Course number and name
o Project name
o Your name
o Date
• Table of Contents (TOC)
o Use an autogenerated TOC.
o Place it on a separate page.
o It should be a maximum of 3 levels deep.
o Be sure to update the fields of the TOC so it is up-to-date before submitting your project.
• Section Headings (create each heading on a new page with "TBD" as content, except for sections listed under New Content below)
o Section 1: Project Outline
o Section 1: Security Requirements
o Section 2: Perimeter Security
o Section 3: Client and Server Security
o Section 4: Wireless and Remote Access Security
o Section 5: Security Configuration Management
