What is a potential risk associated with WEP when it is used to secure a WLAN?
No protection against war driving
How much does network security pay?
Payment varies depending on the size of the company, the nature of data being protected, the region of the country you are in.
It also depends on experience, and whether or not you have any certifications. I've seen starting salaries around 60K, going to more than 110K or even higher depending on qualifications.
Which tunneling protocal should be used?
Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is a new VPN protocol that uses port 443, which is also used by Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS). SSTP is used to transport Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) traffic through an SSL channel. Currently it is only available on newer operating systems such as Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
AR 25-2
AR 25-2 requires the IASO ensure personnel receive system specific and annual IA awareness training. Note that the acronym IASO used in AR 25-2 corresponds to "IAO" as used in other DoD IA instructions, publications, directives, etc. such as 8510.01.
Can people see what you send over secured wireless network?
There is no easy answer: It depends. If you are worried about the safety of your information, do not type in sensitive information (such as credit card numbers, bank passwords, etc.) on an unsecured network. Unsecured networks are the ones that do not require a password, and anyone can get access to them. Most secure wireless networks feature some type of encryption, which makes it harder for hackers to get hold of your information. Currently, the best encryption is WPA2. You can check the type of encryption you are using by going into your connection properties. Upgrading to WPA2 may require a new router or wireless adapter. Keep in mind that just because you are using a secure network with WPA2 encryption at home doesn't mean everyone else is--try not to enter private information on public networks. No wireless network is completely safe, but the best ones are pretty close. Also, if your are concerned about safety and privacy, you should purchase a good security suite to prevent hackers from gainng access to your computer--and your information.

What are typical indicators that your computer system is compromised?
There can be several signs of computer compromise from different sources. Though most of the time, there could be other explanations for impaired performance besides viruses, malware or other sources of interference, if you find files missing or deleted and you did not do it, the computer is running extremely slow or files are moved or changed then all these could be signs of compromise. The best way to be sure is to get a virus scanning program (there are free ones) and scan your system. It's also important to get and maintain (frequently update) an anti-virus program. You may obtain a free one from the related links below.
Wide area network generally consist of two or more local networks . Computers connected to a WAN are often connected through public Computers connected to a wide-area network are often connected through public networks, such as the telephone system. Wanos network less the costs and accelerate more network speeds. Like this you can get more provider those are providing WAN services.
What is the difference between classless subnetting and classful subnetting?
CLSM (Constant Length sub net Mask). Whenever we are Using Same Sub net Mask in entire Organization, that architecture Is Called CLSM in the Network.
VLSM (Variable Length Sub net mask) in the Network. Whenever we are Using different-different sub net Mask in entire Organization, that architecture Is Called VLSM.
Why authentication in important for file protection?
Operating system data file protection through authentication is very important. A file can be any important document which may contain data or information that may be very valuable for the company or the owner of the file. If proper authentication is not carried out then the company can incur loss of data, expose to viruses and trojan attacks and can face a lot of issues. Authentication also increases the value of the information saved in the files because it does not appear fake. By giving the authentication to the people, you can ensure that no unauthorized person will access the file or imitate it. Just take the example of art work of a person saved in a file. Therefore, identification of the person is very necessary before sharing any file with any other person.
What is advantages of intrusion detection system?
Basically, instrusion detection -- either software installed on a computer or server or software built into a security appliance -- is for detecting and notifying you of any unuathorized attempt to gain access to your computer or network. There are several different schemes for intrustion detection, all based on some sort of user or machine authentication.
What does wireless network security do?
Because a wireless network is not specific to your home computers, you must secure the network so that other people cannot access your wireless connection. Without security, anyone driving by with a laptop or Ipod could access your internet connection and download items, or even access you personal information. Wireless security puts a password on your internet connection so that only the people you want using your internet will be able to access it.
Example og upper and lower case password?
THIS IS UPPER CASE & this is lower case. So it is basically CAPITAL and small letters.
Why is it important to limit the number of open ports a system?
The more ports you have open on a system the larger the attack surface is. This means the more chances a malicious attacker has to get into your system and do something bad.
It is similar to having holes in a boat - the fewer, the better.
What is the difference between digital and analogue?
This is the part of electronics consisting of such circuits which processes analouge quantities is called analogue electronics. And the part of electronics which provides the data in the form of a maximum and minimum voltage signals i.e. By two voltage levels only is known as digital electronics.
What is the advantage of dynamic routing?
The router needs a routing table, to know where to send IP packets. The purpose of dynamic routing is to update the routing tables automatically. This means you need much less configuration, and the network dynamically adjusts to topology changes (for example, a router is added, or a cable has a bad connection).
What is a common password vulnerability?
There are many things that can make your password vulnerable. Some examples of password vulnerability are not changing the default password on a router, using common words or words that can be easily guessed by someone that knows you, and using the same password for all of your accounts.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWINGARE FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVES OF INFORMATION SECURITY?
Regarding HIPPA recertification: all the above
What does information security protect information from?
Let's just say you have lots of vital information such as customer specifics, technological discovery that you'd want to implement into your company's operations, etc. You'd want to protect them from being read, which may lead onto them being used. You lose competitive edge over others as the information can be used by others.
There are many forms of attacks available:
hackers
trojans/malware
viruses
espionage

There are many forms of information security software/hardware available. From monitoring of incoming/outgoing information on the internet, network gateway security to encryption strategies that stops files being used.
I find that encryption is the most useful one as no matter how much monitoring you do, you cannot stop people from stealing through USB, portable harddrive, etc. Or you'd have to be on constant vigilance when the monitoring software alarms you of the stealing actions.
Some opensource encryption softwares (i.e. free) avaiable on the internet, though I've forgotten the names. These softwares provide single user information security.
Some bigger enterprise security softwares such as EZ-Lock DRM by Digital Commerce Information provides full encryption strategies that allows different range of users, from 10 users to 30000. Its core ability is that users do not have to change any working habits but at the same time having everything encrypted and thus secured.
Others such as Adaptive Network Security from Brandford Network emphasizes on recognizing friends and foes. It integrates and correlates network resources, user information, and device information to automate security and IT operations.
How many bits in an IP V6 address?
128 Bits.
An IPv6 address is made up of 8 fields consisting of 16 bits per field. If you multiply 8 x 16 will get 128 bits.
Each field is separated by colons unlike IPv4 which was separated by dotted decimal notation.
A good link to go to to see the address and how sub-netting is done is on the related links below.
What ways that user can help strengthen security in a network?
- Do not run the computer with local administrator right
- Use strong password and never share it (lock the screen if you have to leave your pc).
- Change password afterwards if you are force to share it.
- Do not use the network for private matters.
- Use a secure VPN to encrypt your work while surfing the web and block attacks.
- Use a recommended anti-virus program such as Norton to block back-doors allowing access to your network from the outside.
- Do not use your network account for private affairs like Mailist, Facebook...etc.
- Do not mess around with antivirus and firewall set by the admin
- Always scan the USB stick after using it on other machines.
