Abstract
GIAC Enterprises (GIACE) is a startup company seeking to expand into the growing online fortune cookie sales niche market. They have limited capital and need to rapidly start up their business. They have established relationships with suppliers and International partners to help get their business the exposure it needs. The company has installed a new corporate Local Area Network to facilitate their business operations. They have defined, validated, designed, approved and implemented a new security policy. After the implementation of the design, an audit was conducted to verify the new security policy. After exhaustive and tedious attention to detail, the policy was verified, an operational baseline for network security was established and several discrepancies were noted for improvement. Recommendations were made to correct the deficiencies. Shortly after the start-up, GIACE has had to confront the obstacles of competition. An enterprising employee of GIACE embarks on a campaign to make GIACE more business by resorting to several illegal practices aimed at GIACE’s primary competitor – Fortunes Online.
