TASKS
a). Identify the potential risks and threats in the network security.
A threat and risk are important component that affect the entire processing of network
system. It is discovered the incident to harm the entire system of organization. On the other hand,
Risk is created in the network system that potential damage and loss the functionality of system.
For Example- Risk also includes the financial loss as a result's loss of privacy legal implications
and disruptions etc (Berry, 2017). There are all the threats and risk created in the institution so
that it is required for network manager to handle and identify the risk. Afterwards, it will be
provided the best facilities to the public. There are different type of threat and risk generated in
the entire network system.
Threats:- Malicious- This threat can be affected the entire infrastructure of network system. It
includes worm, spyware and trojan etc. These are the important threats which based on
the coded form that damage the connection between the network, privacy loss etc. this
type of activities performed to create more risk (Network Security, 2018). It is used the
antivirus to measure the system and risk in the entire network system. Denial of service- It is based on the attack which intended to close the entire system and
network. This attack is very powerful to slow down the performance of network. It
making to unavailable the intended user. This threat is measured by the using the over
provisioning brute to defence against the harmful software.

 Data breaches- A data breach is happen when the sensitive, confidential and secure data
stolen by the theft. An unauthorized person is attempt to harm the personal information of
organization that secured in the network system. It also involves the intellectual property
and personal information.
Risks:- Hackers- This is the most common network security risk that created in the network
system. It is essential for organization to maintain their security aspects in proper manner.
Hacker mainly access the information through the network system therefore, it will hack
the entire functionality and processing of system (Iskandar, Virma and Ahmar, 2018). Viruses- It is a type of malicious software that affect the entire functionality of system
and it also executed to replicate inside the network system. Virus is basically the code
that copied the multiple in the programs. In this way, it will change the entire processing
and working of network system.
 Equipment Failure- Equipment failure is occurred in the network system where any
devices cannot working properly manner. In this way, all the task of software and
hardware system has been stopped. The security measure to check regular and
maintenance the physical equipment in proper manner.
b). Determine the key security requirement on application, user and infrastructure.
Network security is essential for institution to handle and manage their operations and
functions in proper manner. It is important for registration institution for providing the better
services to the public so that it is needed for institution to build the cloud based network
infrastructure that mange the entire functionality (Jøsangand and et.al., 2018). There are different
requirements needed for the security in the infrastructure, application and users. Heterogeneous system support- It cannot be used the cloud management solution on the
network system but also used the latest hardware, software and virtualisation that support
to the data centre which existing in the infrastructure. This online registration system is
beneficial for public to manage for information with the help of data centre's. Service Management- The administrator is used the simple tool or platform that
providing the best services to meet the goals and objective. A quality of services and
application applicable to arrange all the facilities in proper manner. End user also

consumer through the service provider. Network infrastructure is mainly based on the
system to use the best hardware that provided the safety and security in the entire
infrastructure in effective manner. Support the proxy authentication- It is given the segmentation in the network
infrastructure because it provides the facility to separate mange the functionality of
website and application (Lopez and et.al., 2018). The proxy authentication requires for
supporting the security and privacy. In this way, unauthorised person cannot easily access
the information and data. Encryption on storage- The institution is used the encryption algorithm to manage the
level of database. It becomes store the standard requirement of password by using
encryption. It is beneficial to secure in the form of code. Each and every sensitive data
secure on the disk. Encryption must be used the appropriate strength which is based on
the standard because the data that store on the disk can be sensitive.
 Key management and control- The Business application should have support the key
control and management system. Key is used in encryption process that should be unique
for every network. Black box key is generic in the application to secure the storage and
data effectively and efficiently.
c). Identify all the key features and components of the security infrastructure plan to address all
above identified items.
Network security infrastructure is important for business to provide the privacy and
safety to the customers. According to network engineer, It is required to identify the criteria to
balance the between the strong layer of defence. They also against towards the functionality of
hardware on the network system (Kumar and et.al., 2017). Network infrastructure is an essential
to secure and monitor all the activities of network system such as routers, cables, hubs etc. On
the other hand, the software also applicable in the network infrastructure to manage the internet
connection. There are some important features and components applicable in the security
infrastructure plan.
Performance management- It is the important part of network system that manage the
entire performance and efficiency of network infrastructure. Security is main concern about the
business process that help for secure the data and information in proper manner. There are

different devices such as router, switches etc. these are important concept that applicable in the
infrastructure to store all the data in effective manner.
High capacity load balancing- Wireless network is planned for managing the capacity in
effective because there are demand in the wireless and wired infrastructure of network system. It
is relatively incorporated to handle the load of high capacity in effective ways (Miloslavskaya,
2018). In case, the access point is overloaded so that network system is automatically shifted to
another access. It depending on the capacity of loads. This will be feature to manage the business
operations and function effectively and efficiently.
Network access control- when the many users can be do the registration with the help of
mobile devices that help for maintain the network access control. It is an essential for provide the
security so that it easily registered the online form and also secure the IP address of device. It is
main component in the network system to control the specific role of public (White, Fisch and
Pooch, 2017). Network access control allows registering themselves to network system. It is the
best feature that enhance the experience of public.
Web content and system filtering- It is an essential for network security to ensure that
each and every people aware about the application in order to detect the threats. It is used the
feature of network application filtering to protect against the threats. It also protects the people
from the malicious content available on the application. This feature is provide the facility to
identify and filter the information in proper manner.
Scalability- Scalability is important component in the network infrastructure that help for
increasing the popularity of wireless device. It will continue process to increase the capacity and
speed in proper manner. It also expands in the term of development and also cover to build the
new network.
Proper security means firewall- It is an essential for building an air tight network
infrastructure which required for firewall device that help for control the entire functionality. It is
beneficial for reduce the complexity to use features such as antivirus, spam filtering and deep
packet inspections etc.

d). Security infrastructure that build and enhance the trust in the public to use the facility and
also reflect that provided the services.
Security infrastructure is main part of online registration system that provide the facility
to secure their personal information in effective ways. According to non technical, network
engineer is added more feature in the network infrastructure to store the information on their
database system. In this way, user can easily access the registration form with the help of internet
connection (Mohammed, Omar and Nguyen, 2018). It always trying to provide the scalability,
flexibility and application filtering services where people can used the network system. There are
different types of facilities provided to the user so that they performed different task on the basis
of their requirement.
 Apply the registration form.
 Check the status of registration
 renew the business registration
 Maintain the communication between the officer and entities.
These are different types of facilities provided to the customer which is beneficial for identifying
any type of information in proper manner.
On the other hand, In terms of technical perspectives where this instituting will use the
hybrid cloud infrastructure environment that help for people to provide the facility regarding the
clear system visibility (Reybok and et.al., 2018). It also replicated with the selected Internet
service provider those who will provide both services such as interment connection and mobile
connectivity. In this way, this institution always maintain the direct connection to the
organization on the process of application. Security infrastructure is maintained their service on
time to time which is necessary to identify all the threats and risk on the system that affect the
performance and efficiency. Security infrastructure is the automation process to control and
manage in effective ways. There are different types of threats available that harm the entire
processing of system that's why, it is needed to use the legitimate process to determine that
which is beneficial for business process. Security infrastructure is basically the advanced
technology to perform different task to manage the overall performance and efficiency (Vaidya
and et.al., 2018). In this way, people will be access the information about the financial details,
renewals and management structure or audited etc. This will provide the many advantages for
user to choose the online option for the purpose of registration, check status and verify the

certificates etc. In this way, it will be identified that security infrastructure is necessary in both
technical and non technical ways.
CONCLUSION
As per discussion, it concluded that Network security is important for business process
to provide the security and safety in proper manner. It can be established the entire system by
using software and hardware devices. An effective network security is managed the entire
network and access in proper manner. It is discussed about the various potential risk and threats
generated in network security. It also determines the need and requirement of security in the
network by using infrastructure or applications. It summarized that the key features and
components that improve the security infrastructure and also plan to address the identified items
etc. this report describe the security infrastructure build and protected against the threats.
