Technology Implementation of Security Controls

This assignment requires the implementation of at least five security controls as recommended in a network security plan. The technology implementation involves documenting, implementing, and testing each control. Each control includes an objective, resources used, developing the control (proof of concept), block diagram, configuration of the system, test plan design, test plan implementation, and test results and analysis. The assignment also includes a conclusion and references.

Technology Implementation of
Security Controls Template*
Note: Your technology implementation follows up the strategies and controls you
recommended in your network security plan. This template provides guidance on how to
document the implementation of the proposed controls.
Overview (one page)
Make a brief reference to the controls you proposed in the network security plan (please refer
to the Security Strategies and Recommended Controls section of the Network Security Plan).
For this technology implementation, you are required to document, implement, and test at
least five (5) controls (as shown below).
[Control 1] (No word limit)
Objective of Control
Describe in which ways this control is to meet the organisation’s security needs. This is a
follow up of your analysis conducted in planning the security. For example, let’s assume you
recommended to use a RADIUS server. In this case, you may say that the purpose of this
server is for users to be securely authenticated when accessing the wireless network of the
organisation.
Resources Used
Describe the hardware and software resources you recommend implementing this control. In
the RADIUS example, you should provide the complete technical specifications of the
software and hardware; the type of RADIUS implemented; protocols (WPA, AES, PEAP,
etc.); database to store user accounts; type of storage system; server operation system; and
web interfaces to manage the server, database, monitoring, accounting, and reporting.
Developing the control [proof of concept]
This will be a proof of concept only of your recommended control using free open source
software and your computer. In a real-world project, you will be using commercial hardware
and software.
Description of the System
Technical specifications of the open source software and your computer used to implement
this control.
Block Diagram
Attach a block diagram to illustrate the proof of concept. For example, if you were to
implement the RADIUS server above, then draw a logical diagram showing the following:
1. Wireless router.
2. Range of IP address and subnets.

3. RADIUS server.
4. Mobile Clients technical specifications (hardware and software) including IP address
5. Links and interfaces showing IP addresses.
Configuration of the system
Provide the instructions to configure the system including steps for downloading, installation,
configuration, scripting, and how to run the system. Support your description with
screenshots.
Test Plan Design
For this section, explain how you are to test the functionality of the system you configured.
For example, in the case of the RADIUS, make a list of design steps including employees’
profiles, two or three fictional user accounts (Peter, John, Mary…), device connections
(laptop, android, etc.), create reports, create backups, etc. All these design steps will be used
next in testing your implementation.
Test Plan Implementation
Based on the design you created above, follow the design steps and enter the details into the
system. You need to support your test plan implementation with screenshots.
Test Results and Analysis
Once you have completed your tests, then proceed to analyse the results. Verify that the
results are in accordance with the expectations. In case of any discrepancy, proceed to
readjust the system accordingly. Run the test again and check for inconsistencies.
