Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram
Above is the Global Finance, Inc. (GFI) network diagram. A
hypothetical company, GFI has grown rapidly this past year and
implemented a number of network devices as displayed in the
diagram. The company invested in the network and designed it to be
fault tolerant and resilient from any network failures. However,
although the companys financial status has matured and its network
has expanded at a rapid pace, its overall network security posture
has not kept up with the company growth.
GFIs network has historically been fairly stable, and the
company has not experienced many full scale network outages. GFI
has hired three (3) network engineers to keep up with the network
growth, as well as the bandwidth demand by the company employees
and the clients. However, the company has not hired any security
personnel who can take care of the operational security
responsibility.
The trusted computing base (TCB) internal network within the
Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram hosts the companys mission
critical systems that are vital to the companys operations that
also affect the overall financial situation. The Oracle database
and email systems are among the most intensively used application
servers in the company. GFI cannot afford system or network
outages, as its cash flow and financial systems heavily depend on
the network stability and availability. GFI has experienced DoS
network attacks twice this year, and its Oracle database and email
servers had been down for a total of one (1) week as a result. The
recovery process required GFI to utilize $25,000 to restore its
operations to the normal operating baseline. GFI estimated the loss
from these network attacks at more than $1,000,000, as well as lost
customer confidence.
Write a eight to ten (8-10) page formal risk assessment proposal
in which you:
1. Describe the company network, interconnection, and
communication environment.
2. Assess risk based on the GFI, Inc. network diagram scenario.
Note: Your risk assessment should cover all the necessary details
for your client, GFI Inc., to understand the risk factors of the
organization and risk posture of the current environment. The
company management will utilize this risk assessment to determine
what actions to take; therefore, it must be comprehensive for the
business leaders to make data-driven decisions.
