INTRODUCTION

Network security customarily entails the shielding of data from malefactors. That's accurate, and
luminaries adore it—it maintains their imperative data snug within a cyber-attack-resistant shell. In
networks, we have these nodes, like printers, computers, and additional haphazard artifacts. They are
parcels of intelligence exceptional in the order that lean upon a protocol, each possessing a unique IP

1
address, to become a component of the network. You perceive numerous nodes within a network,
and they mold network associations. Many cybersecurity specialists relish discoursing on network
security, and they will deluge your ears with patently mind-boggling facts and concepts, casually
distributing an overabundance of intelligence devoid of any perceptible logical connection amidst the
stuff expounded upon. consciousness with thoroughly mind-bewildering truths and notions, casually
allocating an excess of knowledge devoid of any observable logical bond between the matter
deliberated.

IT SECURITY RISKS INVOLVED IN CAPITAL COLLEGE

Intro to safety and security danger as well as sort of danger that can take place because of inadequate
safety
Protection dangers that were associated with Funding University are as complies with:
1) Unauthorized Access: This safety and security threat consists of accessibility to individual info.
2) Vulnerability: This safety and security threat consists of the weak point of the details system that can
be targeted from a string resource.
3) Data Breach: Unauthorized access to delicate information the primary reason that triggers
information violations is weak or swiped passwords as well as physical assaults.
4) Physical protection: The threat consists of the absence of physical safety in Capital College the door
of the web server area was not secured any kind of unidentified individual might access the web server
as well as it was a really simple target for any kind of kind of cyberpunk to gain access to any type of
delicate information from the web server area.
5) Out-of-date Windows: The danger entailed was the out-of-date Windows that remained in usage by
Capital College because of this it created safety and security susceptabilities which was a very easy target
for cybercriminals as well as a large range of strikes.
6) Ransomware: A kind of software application that can obstruct details or computer system systems by
translating it.

The

good policies that are being practiced are as follows:


1) Provides acceptable policies for capital college IT facilities.
2) Legal compliance the UK law.
3) Monitoring and Limitation.
4) Prohibition of offensive content.
5) Clear acceptance for specific users.
6) Service withdrawal for violation.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE GOOD POLICY MENTIONS ABOVE:

 Acceptable policy of capital college and IT facilities: The document fully supports that the college used to follow
the policy which was acceptable and good for their student they also followed the policy for IT students. And it
gives a review of some unacceptable policies that were also practiced.

 Legal compliance with UK law: The college provided IT facilities and resources that had a relation with UK law so
that the facilities they will provide can be used appropriately.

 Monitoring and Limitations: Monitoring and limitation was the key feature that was practiced in the capital college
so that there would be no leak of personal data. The data that they send through the Internet will be monitored for
security purposes and limit the use of the Internet in the college.

 Prohibition of offensive content: In Capital College, there were restrictions for using offensive language while
sending the data or any other information to another user this also includes slanderous emails.

 Clear acceptance for specific users: Capital College will accept uploading any image but if it is a part of any
campaign or event going on uploading it to the website from a digital camera is acceptable.

 Service withdrawal for violation: Any person who violates the law of any service that is provided by the college will
be given an appropriate warning. Any suspicious activity can result in a violation of the law that is being followed in
Capital College.

AREAS TO IMPROVE THE NETWORK POLICY IN CAPITAL COLLEGE:

The areas where we can improve the policy of capital college is to give detailed education of “IT” to
teachers so that they can fix the problems caused by hackers or any other unknown person.

We can improve the areas by training them so that they can be aware of the fact that anyone can access
their data or information so the college should arrange a campaign to tell the people how to overcome
any problem caused by hackers.

Another area that we can improve is reporting any suspicious activity that is going on in the college if
anyone does not report it to anyone this can lead to a malicious attack. So the best thing to avoid any
attack is to directly contact the “IT” department for any suspicious activity.

The final area where we can improve the policy is not to use free “VPN” at any cost this can lead to
dangerous attacks which can not be fixed and lead to a lack of personal data and sensitive information.

5
 Third-party VPN: The risk of using a third–party VPN can cause encrypted of data or information untill it
reaches its endpoint. Free or third–party VPNs can cause security risks, slow internet speed, No customer
support and data logging, etc. Using third – party VPN can create secure and save connection between the
device and their “VPN” server.

 Incorrect configuration of firewall: Incorrect configuration of firewall can lead to attacks and gaining
unathorize access to protected internet networks and resources.Hackers can get access to internet and
network services , applications and vertual machines.Regarding capital college if there incorrect configuration
thst can cause unauthorize change and lead to security valnerability , cyber attack , data breach , compliance
vilolation etc.

 IP address Leak: The main cause of IP address leak can lead to more private and security risks. Hackers can
gain access or track online activities launch Dos attacks can deliver targeted ads among other people.

 De-Militarized Zone: A De-Militarized zone is used as a perimeter network that protects and adds extra layers
of security to an organization's internal local–area network from untrusted traffic.It is a subnetwork that
contain and can expose an organization’s external activities or services to an untrested which is usually large
network such as internet. According to capital college the demilitarized zone was use to reduce the risk or any
thread and create a buffer zone that help to reduce any kind of cyber thread.

6
General Information about NAT: It is a process that allows one or more local IP addresses to be
translated into one or more global IP addresses, enabling internet access for local hosts. NAT is
usually performed on a router or security system.

NAT inside and outside address: When we say "inside", we refer to the private network address that
needs to be translated. "Outside" refers to the host of the private network that is not necessarily under
the control of the organization.

Inside global address: It is a technique used by organizations to enable access to multiple devices
with a single employee IP address. It allows an IP address that represents one or more inside local
IP addresses to be visible to the outside world. This IP address is the inside host as seen from the
outside network.

Types of NAT: There are 3 ways to configure NAT

1) Static IP address: is only possible by mapping it with a legally registered IP address. It is generally used by
web hosting. Static IP addresses can not be used in any organization as there are many devices.

2) Dynamic IP address: In this IP address an unregistered IP address is translated into a registered IP


address. If a dynamic IP address is not in use then it automatically assign to a different device. Dynamic IP
address is used only by using either DHCP or PPPoE.

3) Port Address Translation ( PAT): This can also be known as NAT overload. Many local (private) IP
addresses can be translated to a single registered IP address. Port numbers are used to distinguish the
traffic. The most effective and frequently used can be cost-effective and can handle thousands of users
who can connect to the internet only by using one real global (public) IP address.

RISK ASSIGNMENT FOR CAPITAL COLLEGE

1) Computer lab PCs – Virus:


Thread Probability: Very Likely
Impact: Minor
Risk Assignment: Medium
Risk Assignment Priority: 1
Review: This thread is assessed as highly probable(which is Very Likely ) with a minor impact. While the

the risks.

3) Computer Lab PCs - Breach of Copyright


Threat Probability: Very Likely
Impact: Moderate
Risk Assessment: High
Risk Assessment Priority: 2
Review Assigning priority to objective risks is a critical function. The importance of the outcome shall
be the overriding factor. A threat's likelihood, though high, does not mandate the ranking placed upon
it; it exerts no influence on the determination of action. Risk assessment, in this context, is indicative
of a moderate level.
4) Computer Lab PCs: Transmission of Unauthorised Material
Threat Probability: Likely
Impact: Moderate
Risk Assessment: Medium
Risk Assessment Priority: 2
Review: There is little chance that this threat will materialize, but if it does, the effects might be mild. Low-
risk assessment priority is the result of the potential impact calling for attention despite the low
probability. Strong server-side antivirus protection and routine activity monitoring of file servers should be
part of mitigation strategies.

5) Staff Laptops: Virus


Threat of Probability: Unlikely
Impact: Moderate
Risk Assessment: Low
Risk Assessment Priority: 1
Review: Like the last threat, this one is unlikely to materialize but, should it, could have a moderate
impact. Assessment of priority aligns with low risk when the potential is significant: consequence
supersedes probability, necessitating active intervention. The following tactics assume their proper role in
risk reduction plans: instruction on adherence to copyright for users, alongside essential control
procedures ensuring selective access.
6) Staff Laptops: Deletion of Data
Thread of Probability: Unlikely
Impact: Moderate
Risk Assessment: Low

Impact: Major
Risk Assessment: Medium
Risk Assessment Priority: 1
Review: This thread is assumed as major (which is unlikely) with major impact. While the probability
risk is medium and the mitigation strategy is to connect the device with a clean and save network to
send any information or private data through it, we must install updated OS and all other software,
update and run antivirus software and the last strategy is to check any network traffic if any infection
remains.

9) File Server: Deletion of Data


Thread of Probability: Unlikely
Impact: Major
Risk Assessment: Medium
Risk Assessment Priority: 2
Review: This thread is assumed as major (which is unlikely) with major impact. While the probability risk is
medium risk, and the mitigation strategy is to contact the right person that is expert in his job. The person
should explain what the cause is, provide resources to reduce delegation of data.

10) Network: DDOS attack


Thread of Probability: Very Likely
Impact: Major
Risk of Assessment: Extreme
Risk of Assessment Priority: 3

9
Review: This thread is assumed as major ( wich is very likely ) with major impact. While the probablity risk
is extreme the mategation srategy is to reduce the traffic spacific location we should impliment load
balancer,and blocking communication form unused port , protocol and application.

11) Network: Virus


Thread of Probability: Unlikly
Impact: Major
Risk of Assessment: Medium
Risk of Assessment Priority: 1
Review: This thread is assumed as major (wich is unlikely) with major impact. While the Probability risk is
medium and the metigation stategy is to install antivirus software and firewall as it act as a barrier
between the companies network. Before restoring data from backup make sure that the document is free
from any malware.

DATA PROTECTION PROGRESS AND REGULATION

To save or protect data and regulat it is to Develop Risk Assessment Plan it can be applicable to identify
any risk that is avelable in any kind of data and this is the best way to identify any kind of vulnerability in
IT security system and this help user to take active step before any security risk occurs. When an
organization provides any data and can prevent data breach,damage to reputation and can provide
regulatory requirement.Data Loss Prevention (DLP), storage with build – in data protection,firewall,
encryption and end point protection. It is used to protect sencitive data or information from damage,loss
or corruption.
Data Protection strategy: Every organization need a data protection stategy and some of the strategy
for data protection are as follows.
1) Audit of Sensitive Data
2) Assessing Internal and External Risks
3) Defining a Data Protection Policy
4) Security Strategy
5) Compliance Strategy

10
EXPLAINATION FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED DATA PROTECTION STRATEGY:

1) Audit of Sencitive Data: Before going ferthur for data protection control we must first perform an
audit for the sencitive data or information that help users to identify data , data type and storage
infrastructure and which is used by any organizations.

2) Assessing Internal and External Risks: The security in any organization should have access to security
risk that can happen at any time inside and outside the organization. Data protection programs should be
arranged to detect any kind of risks.

 Internal risks: Internal risks refers to the potencial thread and vulnerability that is within the
organization that can allow compromise of any security and personal data. These risks can happen in any
form which include human error, malicious attack , and lack of awairness amoung empolyees.

 External Risks: It refers to any thread that is generated outside the organizations it can cause
unauthorize discloser of sensitive and private information and data. These risks can come from many and
various sources some of the sources that are mentioned are as follows:
1) Cyber Crimes
2) Hackers
3) Third – party vendors
There are more external risks but the above risks are the main risks that can occur at any time.

What is Data Protection Act 2018: It controls how can we use our personal information is used by
oranization , businesses or the government. This Protection Act 2018 is implemented by UK for General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The main perpose in making this act is to allow individual to take
contarol over ther personal data or information and to support the organization with their law.

Areas of compromisation In Data Protection Act 2018: Some of the areas that has to be improved
are as follows:
1) Protection for unauthoriz access data for personal use
2) User Disclosure
3) Data Protection Breach
4) Accountability
5) User Rights
6) Right of Access

Computer Miesuse Act 1990: According to this act which was indroduced form the “UK” government
to removing any unauthorized access from computer so that it would not damage or distroy any sensitive
information. The main and important information about this act is that it gives user and other

11
organisations to enable computer systems not to be breached and not allow hackers to take others
private and sensitive information form their devices.

Risk Management According to ISO 31000: The main meaning if ISO 31000 is that “The effect of
uncertainaty on any object. While according to risk management it is defined as to coordinate , direct
and to control and aslo organizations that include risks.

Primary Componant for ISO 31000: The peimary componants of the ISO 31000 risks management are
the framework which guides the overall structure and the operations of risk management across any
organizations. It is a process to idententify , analyzing and threating risks.

Major elements that include framework are as follows:

1) Policy and Governance


2) Program Design
3) Implimentation
4) Monitoring and Review
5) Continual Improvement

THEFT PREVENTION

What is theft Prevention: Theft prevention is a method of identifying any kind of thread in any device
and the way to reduce this prevention is to reduce the flow of information , Not to allow unknown user
to access any personal data , Enable multi – factor authentication. The user should make strong
passwoard so that it can be hard for any type of hacker to hack the passwoard. The user should
strenghten internal as well as external data privacy controls. The user should keep the door locked after
getting information form the server room or any kind of room to reduce the risk or hacking or malware.

Types Of Physical Security

Physical security involve the use of multiple layers of interdependent system that include locks , access
control , fire protection , CCTV cameras , motion sensor , antivirus software , intrusion detection system ,
and regular system update etc.

Responsibilities: The scope and responsibilities of the capital college is to secure their network as there is no locked
doors in the server rooms and the scope should be that they must use updated software to reduce the risk of any kind
of cyber-attack with can damage the system and the entire personal data or information. The budge and the resources
that is used in that capital college is to be enhanced so that there will be no kind of security thread in the college it is
very important to identify and address potential thread and vulnerability and the risks in the capital college’s
information security environment.

 IT Department:

Role: Provide technical expertise and support to the security auditors.


Responsibilities: Facilitation access and IT system and data for auditing is very important feature for creating secure
audit. Proper access ensures that auditors can freely access the security measures and identify any kind of vulnerability.
By carefully identifying any kind of thread in the IT system, data or organization then only it can experience a safe and

15
secure audit and safeguarding sensitive information. Regular communication between organizations IT team can create
a smooth and effective audit.

 Faculty and Staff:


Role: It helps in security audit by providing information and completing tasks as requested.
Responsibility: The responsibility regarding capital college is that the doors of the server rooms were not locked, and
the rooms were only accessed to student and no security cameras in the rooms. And we should use secure WIFI so that
the college network is not easily encrypted, and we should avoid using public WIFI for sensitive data. And use
application that are approved by the IT Department.

 Students:
Role: Participate in creating a secure learning environment.
Responsibility: The responsibility of the student is that they should avoid unauthorize access of data and protect them
self from suspicious activity and inform any IT department in the college. There should be back up of data in every
computer and laptop so that is any data is lost the users and student can back up specific data.

 Security Auditors:
Role: Conduct an independent assessment of capital college’s security procedure
Responsibility: Security auditors are responsible for making or development or audit plan, identifying any kind of
vulnerability and risks, document finding, create security audit report and the final thing that can help security is
review and finalize data or information and in the end the auditor should follow – up and monitor any kind of action or
thread that can occur in any device. Bu following these steps we can improve the security auditing of capital college.

Access Control
User Role Access Permissions

Students College Portals, Personal File Storage, Learning Read – only access to most of the document have
Management Applications upload permission for only specific areas likes
assignment, student forms but no administrative
permission.

Teachers Emails, Teachers Folders & Files, VLP Read – write access to course works like create and
edit assignments, manage student courses, and has
limited administrative access for grading system.

Administrator Have full access to all the files and folders. Have full access to modify the rights of other
systems, data, user management and can set any
system configurations and security policy.

Access Control
16
Data Protection and Privacy

1. Data Protection Act 2022: Capital College should follow “Data Protection Act 2022” to ensure safe and secure
data and information can be accessed and transferred. All the personal and sensitive data for student, staff,
and stakeholders can process and can be stored lawfully.
2. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Capital College should practice this “GDPR” so that the personal
data of every individual can be protected with in the European Union (EU) including maintaining records and
information and appointing “Data Protection Officer” (DPO).

3. Computer Misuse Act 1990: Capital College should practice “Computer Misuse Act 1990” so to prevent
unauthorize access to computer system and data including implementing robust access and monitoring for
suspicious activity.

4. ISO 27001 Information Security Management: The College should comply with the rule which is “IOS 27001”
standard for information security management so that the college can protect other users’ data including
regular risks assessment and implement security control to safe colleges data and other sensitive
information.

5. Employee Privacy Policies: Capital College must follow “Employee Privacy Policy” to enforce clear employee
policy so that the users can share, use their personal data, including accessing and handling sensitive data or
information and report any kind of data breach.

6. Third – Party Data Processing Agreements: Capital College should accept the legal contract with third – party
service provider for processing personal data and have responsibility for data protection, security measures
and compliance with regulations.

Network Security

 Firewall Enhancement: Since Capital College uses simple firewall, the firewall should be upgraded to next –
generation firewall (NGFW) solution. It should provide advance features which include application – layer
inspection, reduce thread prevention and provide network protection.

 Improve Virtual Private Network (VPN): Capital College should spend money on reliable VPN services
without any kind of encryption and any kind of security tunnelling methods and instead of relying on a free
17
VPN that leaks security features. To save guard data while establishing distance connection the new VPN
should give end – point secure protocol and multi – factor authentication.

 Network Segmentation and Access Controls: Given the lack of network segmentation, it is imperative for
Capital College to adopt VLANs to separate network traffic and safeguard vital systems against potential risks.
To regulate the flow of traffic between VLANs and uphold security measures based on the principle of least
privilege, the implementation of access control lists (ACLs) is necessary.

 DMZ Establishment: Due to the absence of a designated DMZ, it is recommended that Capital College
establishes a DMZ to accommodate public-facing services like web servers and email servers. Setting up a
DMZ with rigorous ingress and egress filtering can effectively deter direct attacks on internal resources and
reduce the repercussions of security breaches.

 Static IP Addressing and NAT Configuration: Capital College should consider allocating fixed IP addresses to
network devices, for network management and security especially in the absence of static IP addressing and
NAT setup. It is advisable to set up NAT to transform IP addresses into an external IP address thus
safeguarding the internal network structure and strengthening perimeter security.

INCIDENT RESPONSE

Incident Response Plan For Capital College:

1. Introduction:
 The plan, for Incident Response (IR) details the steps to take if there is a security breach, at Capitol
College.
 Its aim is to reduce the effects of incidents, safeguard data and maintain business operations.
2. Incident Identification:
 All employees must quickly notify the assigned incident response team of any actions or security
breaches they come across.
 Security surveillance tools such, as SIEM systems and intrusion detection systems will be utilized to
uncover and pinpoint incidents.
3. Incident Response Term:
 A committed case action group including IT employees, administration agents and lawful consultants
will certainly be created to handle safety and security events.
 The duty as well as obligations within the case action group will certainly be plainly specified, consisting
of occurrence planner, technological responding, interaction planner plus lawful advice.

4. Incident Containment and Mitigation:


 When an event is noticed, the team responsible for addressing it will start acting right away to limit its
effects and keep it from spreading further.

18
 When systems face an attack, immediate action is crucial. This often means disconnecting affected
components, preventing malicious traffic flows, plus implementing temporary fixes further harm.

5. Evidence Preservation:
 Keeping proof safe is very important for study and any legal cases that may follow. Making sure
evidence stays intact is the key task.

 The response group will record and protect significant logs, files, and other digital proof. They will
follow proper procedures for maintaining a secure chain of evidence handling. Other tasks might
involve reviewing data thoroughly for details.

6. Notification and Communication:


 The incident response team notifies stakeholders after containing the situation. College management,
staff, students, and legal authorities get informed as required by law. Even though the incident is
contained, relevant parties are notified.

 When managing an issue, constant communication with everyone is important. Brief, consistent
updates help foster confidence. No details will be left out; however, straightforwardness can be valued
more than complexity.

7. Recovery and Restoration:


 When the emergency gets under control, the team will concentrate their efforts. They will focus on
returning impacted systems and operations back to normal.

 Data backups are copies of important files. These copies restore lost data if files get damaged or
deleted. Before systems go online again, technician will run detailed security checks. To prevents cyber
threats from infiltrating systems and networks.

8. Post-Incident Analysis:
 After the circumstance has been settled, a careful examination will be carried out to decide the
introductory causes, liberate profitable gests, and point zones for improvement.

 The college's security posture will include recommendations for improving security controls and
reducing potential threats. These recommendations will be recorded.
9. Training and Awareness:
 Staff and understudies will get customary preparing and mindfulness programs to assist them get it
security best hones, occurrence detailing protocols, and their parts within the occurrence reaction
prepare.
10. Review and Update:
 Incident response plans are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure they are effective in addressing
evolving security threats and meeting regulatory requirements.

19
BACKUP AND RECOVERY

Priory, Capital College, with its reliance on a nonvariant backup device, threatened the advent of lost data
post an impromptu system dysfunction or an infringement on security. To fix these issues, a necessity
manifests; investment must be made in a supernumerary backup alternative, which can take the form of
cloud backup, to protect the data despite a potential failure of the primary backup plans. Habitual analysis
and certification of the backup tool should be put in place to verify its operational efficiency. Integrating the
backup regime into the incident response action plan can optimize the process of data restoration in case of
a security breach.

ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY


To reduce the loss of acceptable use of policy the following steps are taken:
 Count the specific examples of prohibited behavior in detail, and clearly describe satisfactory and
unsatisfactory conduct on campus. activities. clients from getting to delicate information or assets.
 Implement policies that deal with typical security risks like malware, phishing, and unauthorized entry.

 Introduce steps to reduce security risks, like consistent software updates, strict password rules, and
training programs for users.

 Implement processes for enforcement, such as disciplinary measures for policy breaches and consistent
monitoring of compliance activity on the network.

 Improve regulations concerning data security and confidentiality by detailing the procedures for
managing and storing personal and sensitive data.

 Enhance access restrictions to thwart unauthorized individuals from reaching sensitive information or
assets.

PHYSICAL SECURITY

 To monitor activities and to prevent unauthorized entry, we have installed surveillance cameras on a strategic basis
across the campus, in particular server rooms, access points and computer labs.
 Install security measures such as keycard or biometric entry systems in vital areas to limit access to authorized
individuals exclusively.

 To prevent unauthorized access to equipment and sensitive information, implement physical barriers such as doors
and cupboard locks.

20
 Strengthen visitor management systems to monitor and supervise visitors, verify their authorization for onsite
access.

 To detect vulnerabilities and weaknesses in physical security measures without delay, carry out regular safety
audits and risk assessments to address them immediately.

TRAINING AND AWARENESS

Educational efforts for people entailed with Resources University might include:
 Educating to enhance understanding concerning cybersecurity: Educating team as well as
