Objectives Back to Top
ABC Invitation Design and XYZ Invitation Printing have decided to merge into one company, A2Z Invitations. ABC is a virtual company with a proprietary website that allows customers to do some preliminary work on invitations and then consult with a designer for the final product. XYZ is a traditional company with a system that allows customers to submit designs and track their orders. It also has a contact management and invoicing system. ABC will be moving its application into the XYZ data center and will be using all of XYZ's back end systems.
Both companies have experienced data breaches in the past and do not want to have them in the future. A2Z has hired you to do a security analysis of its new network and to recommend how it can be set up in a secure manner. It has budgeted for a capital expenditure (outside of man hours) of $250,000 for hardware and software and $25,000 every year for additional security measures.
Guidelines

The Statement of Work objectives are:

    Perform online reconnaissance on XYZ to see what information is available to an attacker. No social engineering of employees is allowed. Use the Week 1 You Decide as the data for this section.
    Perform an analysis of the current XYZ network, using the current network diagram and nmap report Diagram; NMAP and files are below.
    Check the user's password strength. Use the Week 3 You Decide as the data for this section.
    Redesign of network. Current network below.
    System hardening procedures for both IIS and Apache (even if they only use IIS).
    Three complete security policies. Use the Week 5 writing assignment as your starter policy for this section.
    Template for future security policies.
    Your paper must conform to all requirements listed below.

Requirements

    Papers must be at least 5–10 pages in length, double-spaced.
    Papers must include at least three references outside of the text.
    Paper and references must conform to APA style, including:
        cover page;
        header with student’s name and page number; and 
        sections including Introduction, Body, and Conclusion/Summary.

Milestones

Each You Decide and other write-ups should be used as the raw material for this report. This report is the analysis of that data.

Official XYZ Network Diagram
Back to Top
Image Description
The official network diagram is the network configuration XYZ printing thinks it has for its network. It shows logical groupings of network gear, servers and workstations. Currently it has a single firewall directly connected to the main company router. All the different departments, business development, administration and invitation consulting, are connected to that router. All IT systems including those that run the printing system, accounting and invitation designs are also connected through that central router. No security systems such as IDS or VPN systems are installed on the network. As part of the project you should analyze the network diagram for strengths and vulnerabilities and report your findings back to management.

Results of NMAP Scan

Above is the official network diagram of XYZ (pre-merger with ABC). All servers are supposed to be Windows 2003. XYZ uses a private IP internally of 192.168.x.x. Below are the results of the NMAP scan done as part of the consulting agreement with infosecwizards.
