Network Operating System and Application Security

• Deliverable

  Write 6–8 pages describing the primary network components that should be considered as part of an IT solution that supports the business detailed in the case study:

  • Describe the typical components of a modern network that contain an access control process.
  • Describe the various forms of operating systems that are components of a modern network, including:
    • Memory (real, virtual, and management).
    • Object based versus object oriented.
    • Privileged and non-privileged states.
    • Processes and threads, along with their management (National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance/Cyber Defense, 2013).
  • Explain the role that virtual and real memory play in the overall security profile of an operating system.
  • Discuss the role of cloud computing and virtualization in operating system security.
  • Explain how operating system and application security impact the overall security of modern, including:
    • DMZs and proxy servers.
    • Honeypots and honeynets.
    • Firewalls and VPNs.
    • IDS/IPS.
    • Network devices (routers, switches, VPNs, and firewalls).
    • Workstations.
    • Mobile devices.
    • Peripheral devices.
  • Describe the role of the hypervisor in operating system security.
  • Describe the implications of public versus private clouds in operating system security.
  • Explain the role that the command line interface can play in the overall security profile of an operating system.
  • Explain how operating system and application security impact the overall security of modern networks.

  Additional Requirements

  • Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • APA formatting: Use current APA style and formatting guidelines.
  • Length: 6–8 pages, excluding the references page.
  • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
