Question

Application Activity 2:For this assignment, you will assume that you are the network

administrator for a large medical record organization. The objective for this assignment is to draft a functional security plan to include an accurate risk assessment. This organization has requested that a security plan be designed in order to prevent attackers or other natural disasters from compromising the network. Before an effective security plan can be designed and established, there must first be an accurate assessment of the risk that is present. Risk assessments start by creating an inventory of all information items and information systems. Once this has been accomplished, identifying threats is the next step. There are a number of considerations that must be considered, such as the threat potential for a security violation, a threat assessment in which the types of threats are identified, a threat analysis which is a systematic rating of threats based upon the risk and probability, along with an assessment of the probability that threat will actually materialize.

The medical record organization consists of the following individuals: doctors, nurses, clerical personnel, and administrators. Each of these individuals will need different levels of access. In your security plan, be sure to include how the databases for the system will be used, how the domain will be configured, the operating system that the client’s computers will run on, the data transmission rates that are to be selected, the process for protecting confidential records along with the authentication process used to provide access, and the process decided for storing information on separate databases. Also, include visual aids of the network topology by using Microsoft Visio or a subsequent visual design tool.

In addition to the security plan provided to the organization, draft a risk assessment for the newly designed network. Your risk assessment should include the most likely forms of attacks/natural disasters that the network is likely to be subjected to. Based on these identified risks, also include measures and methods designed to respond to these risks and/or reduce the likelihood in their occurrence. Overall, your report should consist of a minimum of 8 pages excluding the title page, network diagrams, and references. There must be a minimum of 5 peer-reviewed sources included
