Assessment 1
ACS Policies and Guidelines
Polices
The specific IP address, address range, content type and protocols are handled by the
firewall policy, based on the organization’s information security policies. To develop a list of
firewall policy a specific type must be secured. The IP address based on the IP protocols such
as TCP, UDP and ICMP must transfer the data from one process to another process securely.
Guidelines
 To allow the IT staff to access the specialized core service.
 To allow only limited ports for all the devices.
 To maintain the files both online and offline.
Virtualization software
In our project, the server based on operating system level virtualization is used.
Organizational Requirements
A virtual firewall is one of the application that is also called as network firewall
service which provides packet filtering for virtual environment. It is similar to the physical
firewall that combines with the switches and servers. The virtual firewall manages all the
incoming and outgoing traffic on the virtual environment. The organization employees
prevent the data from unauthorized user and the organization’s employee only access and
transmit the data.
Hardware
The hardware requirement includes personal computer, server and workstation. The
firewall is installed on VMWare server with web interface, web proxy and DNS server. The
hardware is used to prevent the computer from malwares and malicious attack. It is mainly
using to protect the data from one computer to another computer that contains routes to build
a firewall.
Commercial and Business Requirements
Commercial Requirements
The commercial firewall software is used to access the client and server network
workstation and servers. The commercial and business requirements provides protection for
1

the client and server system. The commercial software is powerful and efficient, but not
intuitive.
Business requirements
The cloud system hardware requirements are VMsever, hard disk, CPU and memory.
If you are deploying remote data collector for cloud server you can reduce the memory size.
The software requirements are VMWare workstation and web browser requirements.
