Scenario: You are working as a junior network engineer for a small local company that installs and configures computer networks. A potential client has approached the company about a network they are considering installing in their shop. The main purpose of the network will be to: - Improve communication with customers and staff - Share resources - Support business processes - Allow online collaboration Your manager would like you to produce some information about how different computer networks could be used. This information will be used to inform the client about available networks and potential security concerns. Task: You have been asked to investigate two different kinds of computer networks to discuss the effectiveness of both in meeting organization requirements and to prepare a short presentation on the subject. Create the presentation that evaluates: - The features of the two different computer networks and how effective they would be in meeting the organization requirements. - Potential security threats and the impact these could have on organizations. - How the risks could be reduced.

The introduction of cloud computing and mobile computing has dramatically changed how organizations operate. As a result, organizations are increasingly moving more of their IT infrastructure to the cloud, as well as, leveraging mobile and wearable devices. Using an organizational example of your choice, describe how a specific cloud service, mobile device, or wearable computing device is being used to enhance a specific business process. Describe how the cloud service, mobile device, or wearable computing device is being used to achieve one of the following: • Improve operations; • Enable workers to be more productive; • Improve decision making; • Or enhance the customer experience.

What is the difference between wired and wireless networks from a security perspective What are the differences between LAN and WAN networks? A minimum of 2 ways of how networks might be vulnerable to attack Measures you would recommend to implement a secure a network for use in an organization -- would there be differences between what is appropriate for an organization with only one or two sites and one that has hundreds?
