Should companies be able to monitor all network activity during work hours for both employees and guests? Why or why not?
Explain three fundamental points about network computing.
Risk is inherent in all organizations. Explain what a risk is; what risk analysis is; what risk mitigation is. Explain what are the three (3) most common risk mitigation strategies that an organization can adopt.
A network is a group of two or more computer systems or other devices that are linked together to exchange data. Basic computer network components. Computer networks share common devices, functions, and features including servers, clients, transmission media, shared data, shared printers and other hardware and software resources, network interface card(NIC), local operating system(LOS), and the network operating system (NOS). Networks are usually classified using three properties: Topology, Protocols and Architecture.
Risk is a potential for losses due to uncertainty. Risk analysis is the process of identifying and analyzing potential issues that could negatively impact key business. Risk mitigation is a strategy to prepare for and lessen the effects of threats faced by a data center. Comparable to risk reduction, risk mitigation takes steps to reduce the negative effects of threats and disasters on business continuity. Threats that might put a business at risk include cyberattacks, weather events and other causes of physical or virtual damage to a data center. The three types of risk mitigating strategies include risk avoidance, acceptance, transference. Risks should be avoided that involve a high probability impact for both financial loss and damage.
