Question No. 1

GlobalCorp is a company that makes state of the art aircraft for commercial and government use. Recently GlobalCorp has been working on the next generation of low orbit space vehicles, again for both commercial and governmental markets. GlobalCorphas corporate headquarters in Testbed, Nevada, USA. Testbed is a small town, with a population of less than 50,000 people. GlobalCorp is the largest company in town, where most families have at least one family member working there. The corporate office in Testbed has 4,000 total employees, on a 40-acre campus environment. The largest buildings are the manufacturing plants, which are right next to the Research and Development labs. The manufacturing plants employee approximately 1,000 people and the RD labs employ 500 people. There is one executive building, where approximately 500 people work. The rest of the employees work in Marketing, Accounting, Press and Investor Relations, and so on. The entire complex has a vast underground complex of tunnels that connect each building. All critical functions are run from the Testbed office, with remote offices around the world. The remote offices are involved in marketing and sales of GlobalCorp products. These offices also perform maintenance on the GlobalCorp aircraft and will occasionally perform RD and on-site manufacturing. There are 5 remote offices, located in:

New York, California, Japan, India, and England. Each of the remote offices has a dedicated T3 line to the GlobalCorp HQ, and all network traffic is routed through the Testbed office the remote offices do not have direct Internet connections. You had been working for two years in the New York office, and have been interviewing for the lead security architect position in Testbed. The lead security architect reports directly to the Chief Security Officer (CSO), who calls you to let you know that you got the job. You are to report to Testbed in one month, just intime for the annual meeting, and in the meantime you review the overview of the GlobalCorp network. Your first day in GlobalCorp Testbed, you get your office setup, move your things in place, and about the time you turn on your laptop, there is a knock on your door. It is Blue, the Chief Security Officer, who informs you that there is a meeting that you need to attend in a half an hour.With your laptop in hand, you come to the meeting, and are introduced to everyone. Blue begins the meeting with a discussion on the current state of security in GlobalCorp. "For several years now, we have constantly been spending more and more money on our network defense, and I feel confident that we are currently well defended." Blue, puts a picture on the wall projecting the image of the network, and then continues, "We have firewalls at each critical point, we have separate Internet access for our public systems, and all traffic is routed through our controlled access points. So, with all this, you might be wondering why I have concern." At this point a few people seem to nod in agreement. For years, GlobalCorp has been at the forefront of perimeter defense and security. Most in the meeting are not aware that there is much else that could be done. Blue continues, "Some of you know this, for the rest it is new news:

MassiveCorp is moving their offices to the town right next to us here. Now, as you all know, MassiveCorp has been trying to build their orbital systems up to our standards for years and have never been able to do so. So, from a security point of view, I am concerned." Blue responds, "I suggest trust. Not withMassiveCorp, but in our own systems. We must build trusted networks. We must migrate our network from one that is well-defended to one that iswell-defended and one that allows us to trust all the network traffic." The meeting continues for some time, with Blue leading the discussion on a whole new set of technologies currently not used in thenetwork. After some time, it is agreed upon that GlobalCorp will migrate to a trusted networking environment. The following week, Blue informs you that you will be workingdirectly together on the development of the planning and design of the trustednetwork. The network is going to run a full PKI, with all clients and servers in the network using digital certificates. You are grateful that in the past two years, Blue has had all the systems changed to be running only Windows 2000, both server and professional systems, running Active Directory. You think the consistent platform will make the PKI roll out easier.The entire GlobalCorp network is running Active Directory,with the domain structure as in the following list:

Testbed.globalcorp.org Newyork.globalcorp.org California.globalcorp.org Japan.globalcorp.org India.globalcorp.org England.globalcorp.org Although you will be working in the Testbed office, the plan you develop will need to include the entire GlobalCorp organization. Based on this information, select the solution that describes the best plan for the new trusted network of GlobalCorp:}

Question No. 2

Now that you have a fully functioning CA hierarchy in each location, and that the trusted network is well underway, you are called in to meet with Blue. Blue comes into the room, and you talk to one another for a while. It seems that now with the CA hierarchy in place, you need to plan the certificate rollout for the individual users and computers in the network. Since this is the executive building, Blue places higher security requirements here than on the otherbuildings. Certificates need to be issued to all the entities, computers and users, in the network.Blue has decided that for all senior level management, the process for certificate issuance should be even more secure than the rest of the deployment. Based on this information, and you understanding of the GlobalCorp environment, choose the best solution to assigning certificates to the computers and users of the trusted network in the Executive building:}

You have now seen to it that all end users and computers in the Testbed office have received their certificates. The administrative staff has been trained on their use and function in the network. The following day, you meet with Blue to discuss the progress."So far so good," starts Blue, "all the users have their certificates, all the computers havetheir certificates. I think we are moving forward at a solid pace. We have talked about the ways we will use our certificates, and we need to move towards securing our network traffic." "I agree," you reply, "last week I ran a scheduled scan, and we stillhave vulnerability in our network traffic. The folks from MassiveCorp would love to have a sniffer running in here, I sure of that." "That's exactly the point. We need a system in place that will ensure that our network traffic is not so vulnerable to sniffing. We have"to get some protection for our packets. I'd like you to design the system and then we can review it together." The meeting ends a few minutes later, and you are back in your office working on the design. Choose the best solution for protecting the network traffic in the executive office of the Testbed campus:}

Question No. 4

You had been taking a short vacation, and when you come into work on Monday morning, Blue is already at your door, waiting to talk to you. "We're got a problem," Blue says, "It seems that the password used by our Vice President of Engineering has been compromised." Over the weekend, we found this account had logged into the network 25 times. The Vice President was not even in the office over the weekend." "Did we get thes ource of the compromise yet?" "No, but it won't surprise me if it is our new neighbors at MassiveCorp. I need to you to come up with a realistic plan and bring it to me tomorrow afternoon. This problem must be resolved, and like everything else we do not have unlimited funds so keep that inmind."

Question No. 5

For the past month, the employees in the executive building have been getting adjusted to their new authentication systems. There was a large spike in help desk calls the first week, which has gone down daily, and now there are fewer login related calls than there was when the office used passwords alone. During your weekly meeting with Blue, the authentication subject is discussed, "So far, the system is working well. Our call volume has dropped, and it seems that most people are getting used to the tokens. There is one issue, however." "Really, what's that?" you ask. "It seems that the senior executives are not that keen on carrying the new tokens around with them. They are asking for a way to authenticate without carrying anything, but still have it be secure." "All right, do we have a budget?" "Yes, however there are not that many senior executives, so the cost isn the primary issue; although we do want to keep the costs down as much as possible." "So, what limitations do I have?" "Well you need to be sure it easy to use, is unintrusive, won't require too much training, won't be all that expensive, and provides for strong authentication." Blue tells you. Based on this information, choose the best solution to the authentication problem for the senior executives on the fourth floor.}
