Network Security Plan Introduction The First National University(FNU) network security plan is to provide specific instructions for the practice of IT which is used on daily basis. Network security plan is going to help in providing robust and secure environment for computing. These plans provide the protection , reputation and operation facilities to FNU system and its network. At current , FNU have wide,differnt type of undergraduate and postgraduate programs as well as Vocational and Educational Training (VET) and short professional programs. Above 45,000 students are currently studying at different levels of programs at FNU as on-campus students. Additionally, there are 15,000 students are presently studying at FNU under the online and distance education programs. At FNU to support the day-to-day learning , teaching activities and academics between student and administrative staff, they uses Network infrastructure which is nowadays relatively old and complex technologies. At FNU the current network has consistency, performance, and reliability problems which cause due to high growth in enrolments and due to expansion of operations process . Another major problem at FNU is that there are no BYOD and Work-at-home (WAT) policies is available. Now it has become afocus of contention between the IT department, staff and students.

The main component of this network security plan are : Management of risk ; response on incident ; spreading awareness; strong policy; as well as advance tools.This network security plan applicable to many uses of the computing process of the University's or network resources as explain in the resources of Computing , FNU Network and E-mail Use Policy, as well as the Confidentiality Policy of University. As part of the BYOD policy, it is going to allow students, staff and visitors to the University to access the campus network and the Internet wirelessly using their mobile devices including notebooks, smartphones, andtablets. It is also going to improve the student support efficiency and eliminate problems related with assignment onlinesubmission. As part of the WAT, it also permit students and staff to remotely access the campus network fromhome. It is also going to Provide a networkwhich offers a response time of less than a second for interactive applications. It is also goingto automate the majority of the network tasks and services including plug and play, network configuration, network management, troubleshooting, network monitoring, resource sharing, load balancing, updates, and data backups. This network security plan provide the protection ,reputation and operation facilities to FNU system and its network.*Networks and Information Security Case study - Copyright © Edilson Arenas - CQUniversity

Assumptions For FNU the redesign process of network security should be justified in terms of scalability,availability, network performance, security, manageability, usability, adaptability, andaffordability. The network security plan going to Provide a network which is availableapproximately 99.9 percent of the time and offers an MTBF (mean-time-between-failure) of6000 hours and an MTTR (mean-time-to- repair) of less than 90 minutes. At present, FNUsupports its wide area network operations using a mesh topology of three (3) Layer2 VPLS(Virtual Private LAN Service) point-to-point circuits. This mesh guarantees redundancybetween the Headquarters, Operations (Data Centre), and Backup sites. To provide support ina day-to-day learning and teaching activities, academics and administrative staff at FNU alsodeals with a dozen (12) of external partners which mainly include hospitals, research centres,vendor support, and technology partners in many different ways, non-necessarily compatiblewith each other. FNU security plan is going to manages threats by finding, evaluating,controlling, and reducing the vulnerabilities which are major security threat to the data andinformation systems under its authority.*Networks and Information Security Case study - Copyright © Edilson Arenas - CQUniversity
