Part A
Steps 1: Report on business requirements
According to Sukwong, Kim, & Hoe, (2011), with the raise of cyber attacks, securing
organization information and data as possible is on mind of all information technology
managers. While antivirus software forever used in conjunction with an exact security best
practices plan, each organization antivirus offering better levels of protection from malicious
nastiest and malware (Stone-Gross et al., 2013). Therefore, as an IT manager, I would
recommend that the organization needs to implement Bitdefender GravityZone Business
Security. It helps the organization to provide automatic anti malware, URL filtering, web
advisor and firewall protection and managing multiple devices externally and internally.

Technical specification of business
 Server operating system such as Windows server 2012, 2012 R2
 Organization must have an internet connection
 All devices i.e. PCs and laptop must connected with organization database server

Network and interface requirements
User interface
The user interface for the antivirus software is compatible to any web browsers such as
Mozilla, Google Chrome, internet explorer by which users can access the system.
Hardware and network interface
Since antivirus software is run over the internet, therefore all hardware must be connected
with the internet. The hardware and network interface for this application software are WAN-
LAN, modem and Ethernet Cross Cables.
Software interface
The antivirus software must be communicated with the IT managers to determine the traffic
reports and malware practices (Cheswick, Bellovin, & Rubin, 2003). This application
software is communicated with CRM of the organization to provide protection.
Copyright issues and intellectual properties
The organization can use the solution or antivirus software with permitted number of devices
of personal computers, mobile phones etc. The organization has an authority to use only
solutions, not granted the organization to any rights or title to any intellectual property rights
in the documentation or solutions. All rights to the antivirus solutions and documentation
including copyrights, trade secrete rights, patents, intellectual property rights and trademarks
are reserved by the vendors.
IT security requirements
The main objective of an organization is to protect their information through unauthorized
users, protection against security vulnerabilities, protection against phishing and malware
when surfing, protection against manipulated USB devices. Thus implementations of
Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security provide all these securities to organization in
successful manner.

Steps 2: Evaluate the impact of the new business solutions
Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security offers comprehensive protection for virtual and
physical servers and desktops, plus portable devices and provides comprehensive security ad
efficient management. It helps the organization to full control and improved organization
productivity and reduces malware practices in successful manner (Bitdefender, 2016). Use of
this software not only helps the business to protect from unauthorized users but also helps
them to secure from any unknown treats. This would help the business to protect from
phishing attacks, spyware and viruses, provide robust web protection and quick scan of
removal devices (Zaidi, & Rajarajan, 2015).
Therefore it can be said that implementation of this solution helps the business to enhance
their performance and fulfil all requirements in successful manner. Moreover this would also
help them to improve supply chain process of the business.
Part B
Create a documentation plan for implementation
Hardware and software implementation
The organization needs to update server, web console, and communication servers and
database. The organization needs to install CPUs, RAM and hard disks in computers to
successfully install the antivirus software. If an organization can use 250 end points then they
needs to use 4 CPUs, 6GB RAM and 50GB hard disk space.
Hardware implementation
Minimum 2.4 GHz single core CPU
Installed RAM, CPU and hard disk
Installation of LANs, internet connection
Software implementation
Windows 7 or Windows 8 operating system installation on PCs

Installation of Google Chrome, Mozilla browsers
Windows server 2008, 2012
In order to successfully operating the solutions, organization needs to offers training and
development to their staffs members and upgrade skills. This would help the business to
function its functionalities in successful manner. Organization needs to conduct one week
training to their staff’s members regarding solution functionalities. Total time needed to
install the solution in business operations is one month. Main business resources for these
solutions are IT staffs members, IT managers, server, Personal computers, internet
connectivity etc.
The main result that the business expected from this solution is to protect organization data
and improve organization functionalities. Moreover organization also expected to secure the
computers by unauthorized users and viruses. The cost associated with Bitdefender
GravityZone Business Security is following;
Numbers of end points
Price 250 500 1000 2000
Total $ 12,300.00 $ 24,600.00 $ 49,200.00 $ 98,400.00
Technical architecture for business solutions
Connectivity requirements, internet connectivity, all devices are connected in LANs and
WANs, mail servers, creating database backups etc.
Test results of the business solutions
The main objective of test results is intended to shows how effective the solutions helps the
organization to protect from unauthorized users and recognizing and blocking phishing sites
therefore that clients from beings defrauded by these sites (Roman, Lopez, & Mambo, 2018).
Target audience are a user who does not feel more confidence of their own capabilities to
determine and avoided phishing attacks. Testing of solutions for business is illustrated in
below;
