ABC Corporation is a small but global organization of roughly 200 to 250 employees with work-at-home office spaces around the world using Wide Area Network connectivity via VPNs. The company deals with a lot of financial information to be shared between the offices that require encrypted traffic as well as data-at-rest encryption.
You have been hired to evaluate e ABC Corp.’s network and ensure that the company has the highest levels of security to prevent internal or external attacks. In an 8-to-10-page proposal, address the following items to provide a comprehensive secure environment:
A plan to provide secure access control methods for all user access
A viable password policy, which includes complexity, duration, and history requirements
A method to ensure vital data is encrypted, including recommendations on algorithms
A VPN recommendation for accessing the network remotely in a secure and efficient manner
Your proposal should address all of the elements noted above with support, detail, and elaboration for each section explicitly grounded in knowledge from the assigned readings and media along with any outside sources you may choose to bring into your writing.
There should be a minimum of 5 sources.
