ICTNWK403 Project: Network Security and Data Integrity for Aged Care

This project focuses on implementing and configuring network security for a small aged-care not-for-profit organization. The goal is to create policies, implement technologies to mitigate risks, and analyze existing systems to enhance security. The project covers key areas such as creating an effective antivirus security policy, installing antivirus software, developing information security awareness training, configuring security on routers and switches, and implementing Group Policy Objects (GPO). It also includes establishing security policies, configuring user permissions, managing file and folder access, developing an inventory system, configuring firewalls and VPNs, and setting up DHCP and DNS. Furthermore, the project addresses data backup and integrity checks, monitoring logon events, creating DMZs and VLANs, setting up VPNs between sites, enforcing password policies, and implementing physical and environmental security measures. The project concludes with network performance monitoring, generating security reports, auditing security access, identifying threats and risks, making recommendations, creating a baseline, documenting the system, reviewing logs for intrusions, and conducting spot checks for potential breaches. This comprehensive approach aims to secure the organization's network and data against viruses, malicious code, and potential disasters.

1. Project Description
The main aim of this project is to implement, install and configure the network security and
to use it for data production. The process of analysis and systems is to create policies, enforce
technologies to minimize risk and make them more secure for the structure on the network
configuration. The main objective of the project is to use it for the development and manage
the antivirus system for the workstation, email filtering and server of the networking system.
The selected firm has 20 desktop and 20 laptop computers. The identification of the virus is
done by analysing it by two methods that are denoted as, Viruses and Malicious code on the
network. Disaster Recovery and Business management planning on the network security will
be investigated.
2. Create an effective antivirus security policy
Creating of the antivirus security software should mainly be specified for
the detection of the viruses on the computer and laptop. Analysis of each laptop and computer
for malicious threats shall be carried out for the pc so as to keep them in good condition. The
advanced security of the Comoro antivirus can be used for the detection of the virus and to
identify the same on each computer for any malicious attacks, to protect all the computers,
remove any malicious file and only access given for the important data of the computer
security. The Comoro antivirus features are given below (Gollmann, 2011),
 Detects suspicious files immediately
 Offers intelligent definition technique
 Real time protection
 Instant and quick update on the latest virus definition.
 Access scanning.
