Network Security-Protocols

• Choose FOUR(4) protocols and discuss its details and importance in network security.Research how they aid network security.

• POP3

-It stands for Post Office Protocol
-Allow you to download email message on your local computer 
-Emails are stored on the server
-Sent messages are stored on the server
-Message can be synced and accessed across multiple devices

Importance:
-It use to build a communication channel between an email client and server.


How?
-When a user checks for new email,the client will connect to the POP3 server.The email client then supplies its username and password to the server for authentication.

• DHCP

-It stand for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
-It is a client/server protocol that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.
-DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address and other information to each host on the network so they can communicate efficiently with other endpoints.


Importance:
-DHCP server dynamically assigns an IP address and other network configuration parameters to each devices on a network so they can communicate with other IP networks.

• IMAP

-It stands for Internet Messaging Access Protocol
-It is an internet standard that describes a protocol for retrieving messages from an email server
-When you read an email message ,you aren't actually downloading or storing it on your computer;instead you're reading it from email service.

Importance:
-It allow users to sync emails between multiple devices.

• IPSEC

-IPsec stand for Internet Protocol Security
-It is a suite of protocols that secure network communication across IP networks. 
-It provides security services for IP network traffic such as encrypting sensitive data, authentication, protection against replay and data confidentiality.

Importance:
-The data sent over the internet and private networks includes passwords.


How?

-It provide security for routers sending routing  data across the public internet.

Business Intelligence

• Analyse and compare the system and technologies associated with business intelligence.For example:

Data warehouses

-A system used for storing and reporting on data.

-The data typically originates in multiple systems,then it is moved into the data warehouse for long-term storage and analysis.

-This storage is structure such that users from many decisions or departments within an organization can access and analyze the data according to their needs.

Executive Information Systems

-A type of management information system intended to facilitate and support the information and decision making need of senior executives by providing easy access to both internal and external information relevant to meeting the strategic goals of the organization.

Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)

-It is a category of software that allow users to analyze information from multiple database systems at the same time.

-A technology that enables analysts to extract and view business data from different points of view.

MSCP

Project management plan is the process of combining system, techniques and people to complete a project within established goals of time, budget and quality. Hence, to make sure that the project has quality.

The importance of having project management plan is to make sure the planning is going well. Where planning project need to do by step by step to do for each task.Morever, to keep track of what we are doing for the project.

Project Scope
Project scope means the range of the project that you handle is big or small. It is initial phase of the project planning process. It typically involves drawing up a list of everything needed to create the framework of the project. 

Project scope is important because it will help you to ensure clear project goals and objectives and it helps everyone to stay on the same page throughout the life cycle of the project.

Project Cost
It is the processes that involved in planning, estimating, budgeting and controlling costs so that the project can be completed within the approved budget.

Project cost is important because to know how much budget that have been spend and to manage project cost effectively.

Project Quality

It is the process that is required to ensure that the project satisfies the needs for which it is undertaken.

     Project Risk

A risk is any factor that may potentially interfere with successful completion of the project. It is an uncertainty

that can have a negative or positive effect on meeting project objectives.Project risk is important because it help to improve project success by helping select good projects.

     Project Time
    It refers to a component of overall project management in which a timeline is analyzed and developed for the completion of a project or deliverable.

Security Vulnerability-Virus detection

Choose ONE(1) security vulnerability test.

Describe the test and purpose of the test.

Virus known as anti-malware software.The purpose of virus detection is to  remove viruses and other unwanted programs (malware) from your computer such as virus,worms and Trojan.

There are some symptom of virus such as computer run slower than normal,show popups both online or offline,it have programs that do not open,run slow or close unexpectedly,it have browser that do not display some or any website at all,present problems when trying to recognize external hardware and it show a blue screen with the error code.

How it works?

Antivirus software will begin by checking your computer programs and comparing them to known types of malware. It will also scan your computer for behaviors that may signal the presence of a new, unknown malware. Typically, antivirus software uses all three scanning detection processes:

• Specific Detection – This works by looking for known malware by a specific set of characteristics.
• Generic Detection – This process looks for malware that are variants of known “families,” or malware related by a common codebase.
• Heuristic Detection – This process scans for previously unknown viruses by looking for known suspicious behavior or file structures.

Provide example of the test.

• Discuss the solution if there is vulnerability after a test.
• Produce an audit document showing the range of tests on IT systems and networks example (LAN's/WANs and wireless networks)

Choose ONE (1) method of threat:(IP spoofing)

• Describe the method of threat. 

IP spoofing is a technique used to gain unauthorized access to machine,whereby an attacker illicitly impersonates another machine by manipulating IP packets.

• How it works?

The data transmitted over the internet is first broken into multiple packets, and those packets are transmitted independently and reassembled at the end.

Each packet has an IP (Internet Protocol) header that contains information about the packet, including the source IP address and the destination IP address.

• Example

How to prevent ?

• Stay secure when using the web
• Install a spoofing detector
