Choice of organization is a banking service

We will be using the protocol model with the particular protocol suite. these hierarchial set of protocol represent all the functionality and securiy feature needed for a human interface with the data network.

Major security risk here will be the breach of the network for the confidetial data of the customer that could be used by the attacker to transfer money or masquerade the original customer to transact money , This risk can lead to a greater loss to the bank. Other risk is that the network might be compromised if there are not proper security and inputting filtering protocol to ensure only the right data is coming in the network and whole should be looked over for any irregualr behaviour.

Network traffic analysis needs to be done in order to ensure the user data is not being over lookd by anyone untrusted person that can use the credential for the wrong purpose. Other need is ensure the authenticity of the user and verify that the request is coming from the trusted and authenticated sources so the bank can verify the trusted user is accessing the service and making request.
