Securing Boundary Devices

Securing Boundary Devices, Hosts, and Software

In this section, students will address each of the following.
Define the physical security requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.
At a minimum, students should discuss the three main factors of prevention, detection, and
recovery; and include the appropriate control measure.
Define the physical security requirements,propose a solution, and justify the solution.
At a minimum, students should discuss the three main factors of prevention,
detection, and recovery; and include the appropriate control measure.
Define the mobile device security requirements, propose a solution, and justify the
solution.
Students should include smartphones, laptops, tablets, or any other mobile
device that may be introduced in the UMUC environment. Students should also
include the considerations and their implications.
Define the perimeter defense requirements, propose a solution, and justify the
solution.
Students should consider the different types of attacks, security appliances, and
the network configuration to implement.
Define the network defense requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.
Students should discuss common network devices, their vulnerabilities, and
propose defensive solutions.
Define the host defense requirements, propose a solution, and justify the solution.
Students should the types of attacks hosts are susceptible to, and proposal
defensive solutions.

Securing

Use this template as a guide while creating your Network Security Proposal (Parts 1-
3).
Include at least two scholarly references in each of the three submissions. Thus, a
total of six scholarly references will be included in total. Students may find scholarly
sources by visiting UMUC’s library and online sources. Students will also include
other credible sources as appropriate.
Use IEEE-style citations. We do not use APA or MLA-style citations. Students should
contact UMUC’s Effective Writing Center for assistance.
Use proper terminology and expand acronyms in each paragraph they are used. For
example, the first time in a paragraph an acronym is used it should be expanded (e.g.,
University of Maryland University College (UMUC). Thereafter, and as long as you are
in the same paragraph, the acronym (e.g., UMUC) can be used. When starting a new
paragraph, the rule begins anew.
The use of figures and diagrams is encouraged. Students will properly cite the figures
and diagrams according to the IEEE-style citation.
