PLEASE RESOLVE THIS QUESTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
SCENARIO
________________________________________
Company A is a property and casualty insurer underwriting multiple
types of insurance. Company A is acquiring Company B, a financial
services organization, in order to diversify and increase market
share. Company B conducts business in the same geographical area as
Company A and delivers business and individual financial planning
services. Both companies provide services from their respective
offices and at the customer’s site. Both companies use broadband
connectivity.
You are the IT director for Company A and will be the chief
information officer (CIO) for the merged organization. You are
tasked with analyzing, designing, and presenting the proposed IT
integration project. Company A has clear IT infrastructure
documentation, including a logical diagram, an organizational
chart, and a recent security risk analysis. Company B does not have
any IT infrastructure documentation, and several security and
integration issues are evident. Company B outsources any IT-related
needs to a consultant. Leadership for the merged organization has
allocated a limited budget of $35,000 for this project and will
expect justification for recommended expenditures.
Integration project requirements include following secure
network design principles, selecting or repurposing secure network
components, assuring secure communication channels, addressing
relevant regulatory compliance, minimizing potential network
problems and security threats, delivering integration cost savings,
and aligning IT to meet the business needs of the post-merger
organization. This post-merger organization will reflect one
corporate office and a branch office.
REQUIREMENTS
________________________________________
A. Describe the problems Company A has with network security
and infrastructure using details from one or more of the “Company A
Organizational Chart,” “Company A Risk Analysis,” and “Company A
Visio Diagram” supporting documents.

B.
C. Describe the potential impact of two network security or
infrastructure problems of Company B using details from the outputs
of Zenmap and OpenVas (see supporting documents below), including
rationale for each problem.
1. Explain how correcting each of these problems will improve
the functioning of the merged network.

D. Provide a network topology diagram using Microsoft Visio
or a similar software tool that represents the proposed merging
requirements from the scenario of Company A and Company B,
including remediation of all existing infrastructure problems
described in part A and part C.


E. Identify which layer of the OSI model and layer of the
TCP/IP protocol stack apply to each component in the merged network
topology diagram.

F. Justify the retention or deletion of four existing
components as suggested in your proposed network topology diagram.
Include how each component’s retention or deletion and any newly
required additions to the network address both security concerns
and budgetary restrictions found in the scenario.

G. Explain how two secure network design principles are
included in your proposed merged network topology diagram.

H. Describe two secure hardware and/or software components
integrated into the proposed network topology and how each
component will address the security needs of the merged
organization.

I. Explain how the proposed network topology diagram for the
merged organization addresses security safeguards based on a
regulatory compliance requirement.

J. Explain a security threat and one potential network
problem that would become a risk as part of the implementation of
the proposed network topology diagram, including why each would
become a risk.
1. Explain how the security threat and potential network
problem should each be managed or mitigated as part of the
implementation of the proposed topology diagram.

K. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and
references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or
summarized.
