2IT INFRASTRUCTURE
Introduction:
Security of the IT infrastructure network is very much important for the proper security
of the network. The IT security is the multi discipline subject requirement which needs different
types of skill sets and knowledge areas. The IT infrastructure is very much important for
protection of the system infrastructure. For the security of the IT infrastructure mainly
information technology is utilized as capability of this system is becoming more and more
available. It is very much important to protect the organizations from various of IT related
security issues so that smooth business process can be achieved.
In this document the case study of AusEd has been described. From the case study, it has
been assessed that the AusEd is consisting specific type of IT network system for managing their
business operation. Currently, there are various of security concerns which are related with the
IT infrastructure of the AusEd. Due to this factor in this report some recommendation for the
current IT infrastructure of the AusEd will be discussed. In this discussion the present IT
infrastructure of the AusEd will be summarized. Following that the important security concerns
related with the current infrastructure will be discussed in this case.
Summarization of the Current IT Infrastructure:
From the current IT infrastructure it has been assessed that there are various of
components which are associated with the current IT infrastructure. Currently there are several of
servers that are associated with the current IT infrastructure. The main important servers are the
file server, application server, MYOB server, web server, local server, database server, active
directory server, communication server and the hybrid backup server. Here in this context all the

server plays an important role for the organization. Considering the switches for the network
there are mainly two types of switches which has been utilized in this case which are the low
level switches and fiber channel switch. Router and firewall is also implemented within this
presented IT infrastructure. Wireless access points have been also implemented for this IT
infrastructure system. Currently with this IT infrastructure system cloud application is also
functional which includes Microsoft Office 360 Online, online backup system, some
interconnected networks and the Moodle System. User end devices are also connected with the
IT infrastructure. These devices are mainly the Personal Computer system of the users. Overall
this network connection includes Wi-Fi, Internet, fiber channel core network, Gigabit Ethernet
and NFS. All the routers and the firewall of the system is directly connected with the internet. In
this case the fiber channel buses are connecting the routers and the firewalls with the servers that
are present within the system. For the online backup system Microsoft Azure platform has been
selected in this case. Main storage of the current IT infrastructure directly connected with the file
server through iSCI, NFS and Gigabit Ethernet. Students of the AusEd and the headquarters staff
PC are directly connected with the main storage for accessing the study materials.
Security Issues that are currently present in the IT Infrastructure:
From the analysis of current network IT infrastructure of the AusEd it has been assessed
that there are currently some important security concerns are present with the database storage
and with the end user devices. In the following two of these issues will be described briefly.
Database Storage:
The database is currently used by the AusEd organization for storing all the study
materials. This component is one of the most important components of the current IT
