Information and Network Resource Administration and Security in an Education Network Environment
The goal of this document is to discuss and apply knowledge of Information Security to common security problems and concerns in an educational environment. My motivation for researching and discussing issues in an educational environment stems from my experience in such networks. With the explosion of the Internet and connectivity around the world and especially in the United States educational networks have become heavily reliant on connectivity within the institution and to the Internet. This connectivity facilitates the main goal of education as well as is a requirement for doing daily business related to that institution. At the same time this connectivity in which students, faculty, and staff participate has created a breading ground for vulnerabilities, threats, and compromises within these networks.

NOTICE: Secure Your Network
As technology continues to be an integral part of our lives it is also becoming commonplace in our business community. Companies are moving toward becoming "paperless" and our personal and private information lies somewhere between the office walls and the Cat5 cabling in a form that many average people do not understand: servers, databases, directories, files, clusters, and sectors. They do not need to understand this mysterious environment - they rely on the IT folks to do what they do. The reality is that many IT personnel, are great at building servers, connecting workstations to the network, installing software, and fixing the daily printer problems. Security breaches have become a frequent problem nationwide. Our government saw the problems of the organizational inconsistency between management and information technology and started to act.

Using Security To Protect The Privacy of Customer Information
Although the concepts of governmental privacy regulation and an organization's privacy policy were discussed in this curriculum, this document will tie these together. In addition, it will focus on how these influence the design of an organization's information security, as well as organizational infrastructure. Sound privacy policy for an organization must be supported by the appropriate information security infrastructure. It is obvious, that as the Internet has blossomed into a means to offer products or services, it has also increased the various risks to organizations collecting and storing confidential customer data. There is also increased pressure to ensure security infrastructures, both technical and organizational, are equipped to protect this customer data once collected. Currently, one of the highest priorities among organizations is customer data confidentiality, due to government regulations and customer demand.

Information Privacy Topics, A Discussion
Privacy is a sensitive issue that we all concerned about to some degree. Nobody wants to think that his or her every move is being watched on the computer or not! This is also true for electronic messaging, files, and email in the workplace. When these issues are raised, inevitably there are questions that follow. Who owns these electronic files? Who can access and disclose their data? Such questions become especially important when company/client sensitive or confidential information is stored electronically. Another issue is that of Internet privacy. Our preferences and personal information can be stored with Internet Service Providers and other companies operating online. Where does it end? Who can find out what about us? These topics are ones that are likely to be in the minds of people for years to come. This paper will discuss current laws over electronic data and emails in the workplace, and associated rights of both the employer and employee.

An Overview of Computer Security as Told Through War Stories
A computer is secure if you can depend upon it and its software to perform, as you would expect. To put it another way, a secure computer ensures that the information that you have saved will be accessible to you when you need it; and this information will remain unread and unaltered by any unauthorized party. These two statements are like an executive summary of a larger more complex picture. The primary colors of this picture are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. In this case, confidentiality is control over who is supposed to read your information. Integrity is control over who may modify or alter your information. Availability is the accessibility of your information on your time schedule.

Protecting Sensitive Data in Secure Domains
The basic idea of Secure Domains is to move parts of the network into secure zones, either based on the classification of the data or their being part of a project that can be centralized in a specific zone and are considered as sensitive. Only the application and the data are moved, the users remain on the company network and are able to access the application through protocols like ICA or X11, which only provides the user with a virtual workspace or a display output from the started applications. If we move sensitive data from our corporate network to secure domains, we can achieve an increased security at several levels against both External and Internal threats.

Protecting the Network without Breaking the Bank
Network security has been getting a lot more attention lately due to the news media reporting on Viruses, network attacks, and hackers. I even heard the term "scriptkiddy" on the National News recently. That makes it a little easier for Security Professionals to get managers to give us some time and resources to do our jobs, but the high cost of securing a Network may drive managers to look for ways to outsource Network Security instead of using available resources. In most instances, readily available tools can be acquired with little or no cost to enable a security professional to do an effective job of securing a network without spending the entire IT budget. Most businesses allow 2-3% of their budget for IT cost, and that has to include security. If you can give the business a secure network without breaking the IT budget, then MAYBE their will be more left for raises-but don't bet on it.
