Question:
A warehouse currently has the following network (see diagram for topology):
- Internet connectivity via HFC (Hybrid Fibre-Coax)
- A "border" router (just a regular router which happens to be at the border of where the company network meets the provider's network/Internet)
- 6 Switches (1 central switch, 4 workgroup switches (ie. one per department), 1 switch for the warehouse)
- 4 Servers (1 for HR, 1 for accounts, 1 for sales, 1 for inventory)
- 8 PC's (2 for HR, 2 for accounts, 2 for sales, 2 for warehouse management)
- 4 Laptops (1 for the Managing Director, 3 for sales)
- 4 Wireless Access Points (WAP) distributed through the warehouse
- 1 Wireless Access Point in the office
Perform a risk analysis of the entire network (including both the warehouse and the enclosed office) and create a control spreadsheet.
Provide three lists / tables for the point below:
- Identify the assets of the company and assign a "value" of the relative importance of each asset by giving it a number (higher number = more valuable, note that value here is not monetary but is an indication of the importance of the asset to the business).
- Identify potential threats, provide a description of the threat, and assign a level of risk to each threat (indicating severity and likelihood).
- Identify any potential control mechanisms that could be implemented and describe how the control can used against the threat(s) you have identified (e.g. use a firewall at XYZ location in the network).
Then, link them together in a control spreadsheet.
Control Spreadsheet
- List the identified assets from your risk analysis in priority order down the left column
- List the threats you identified in the risk analysis across the top of the control spreadsheet
- List the controls that appropriate to use to address each threat in the corresponding cells
You will need to provide a summary of any controls that you have identified that need to be added and include their costs.
