Activity 6

Activity 7
The company provides marketing and advertising services to the other company. Thus it stores
sensitive data of clients as well. In order to maintain the trust, it is necessary to protect the
customer data. It is necessary to apply restrictions on access to data. Different security
techniques helped to secure the network. It is necessary to implement data protection methods
and encryption technologies.
AAA (Authentication, authorization, and accountability)
This is used to ensure the security of the system and prevent the system from unauthorized
access and attacks. Authorization is a process with enables only responsible person to access and
use specific resources and data. The authentication process is used to check the validation of the
person who is using the resources. These are able to manage eth security and access of the users
in order to improve the security level (Wu and Liaw, 2013).
Firewall and intrusion detection system:
The firewall acts as a filter to the network traffic. It is able to categorize unauthorized and
unauthorized traffic over eth network and takes appropriate actions. This is helpful to prevent
any kind of threats and issues in the system. IDS also act same by detection any instruction in the
system (Ullrich, Cropper and Fruhwirt, 2016).
Protection system for password and secure IDs:
The data in the system is secured by password protection mechanisms and secure identities. it
will assure that no unauthorized person can misuse the resources and permissions. Only
authenticated users can access the data.
