Network Design and Plan

This project provides you an opportunity to solve a comprehensive problem in firewall and VPN
implementation at various levels. You will play the role of an employee participating in the network
security update planning process in a specific business situation.
Scenario
You have been working as a technology associate in the information systems department at Corporation
Techs. The Corporation Techs’ management is concerned that they are losing business to a competitor
whose bids are too accurately just under the bids offered by Corporation Techs––by an exact amount. A
security firm was contracted to conduct a review of Corporation Techs' systems, identifying unauthorized
access to the Web server as a potential source of compromise due to the shared reporting and public
Web site functions. The packet trace and vulnerability scans gathered during this review are available for
your use.
The Web server provides public access to the organization's static Web site for contact information, while
sales team members in the field transfer contract and bid documents using a site secured with a logon
and password. Corporation Techs has budgeted for new networking hardware but does not want to add
additional servers due to cooling issues. Your manager has asked you to create a security plan that will
prevent unauthorized access, while making sure that both public and secured Web access remain
available.
Tasks
The data and information you need to complete this part of the project are provided to you. (See the
Required Source Information and Tools section at the beginning of this document.) In this part of the
project, you need to conduct a survey of the existing hosts, services, and protocols within Corporation
Techs' network. Specifically, you need to:

1. Access the PCAP data using NetWitness Investigator.
2. Identify hosts within the Corporation Techs’ network.
3. Identify protocols in use within the Corporation Techs’ network.
   Develop a list of hosts and services provided by each.
4. Create a professional report detailing the information above as the initial document for
   development of the network security plan.
