Firewall Comparision

Firewall Comparision


The initial threat for this setup is going to be that there is no firewalls set up. To make our network secure I would use three firewalls. First one would be at the point between the internet going and coming into to our network. Second I would put a firewall at a point between the router coming in from the new network and the switch it attaches too on the existing network. Then the third would be between the switch and the wireless router. I would intentionally let the area between the web server and switch become the DMZ. With that said though I would also a packet filtering software fulltime in the DMZ. I am not looking to stop the activity going on there. What I do want to do is monitor it full time to keep an eye on anomalies this is actually how I would start to conceptualize the network monitoring. With these in place the network would be relatively safe at the onset. Bad People are really interested in the information that I have hidden on my network so that is going to lead to the next line of defense. I will also implement an intrusion protection system to protect from attacks. I think we will also need an intrusion detection system so we will know when people are interested in spaces that they shouldn’t be.
Ok now that we have created a form or baseline for the security of our network there are a few little tweaks to this that need to be discussed. The secured servers need to be in a secure spot with cameras leading to the doors. We need to monitor suspicious activity from within the confines of our building as well. Cameras will be able to see who is “curious” about what is going on. Can’t you tell I am in the casino business and lack the trust of most? Amongst the subtle tweaks I think as we go live with our new network the user permissions are going to be very limited. Not limited to the point where our employees can’t be productive but, limited to the point where when they ask for permissions to access certain things we keep an interest! I am...
