Week Seven: Remote Connectivity and Wireless Networking


The ideal of remote connectivity isn’t anything new. Remote connection has been around for many years. The purpose for remote connection is to give users the ability to remotely connect and access their organization network for work related purpose. Remote connection is a great technique that network and system administrators utilized to their advantage because it give them the ability to remotely troubleshoot problem, update system software, and many more. There are two way remote connection can be establish and executed – the first and more advance one involve utilizing the Command-Line (script), and the second one is executing Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) which was developed by Microsoft.

RDP which was developed by Microsoft, “provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection.” To successfully execute remote connection using RDP, both computers must have RDP server software employ (installed) before a remote connection can be establish. User’s doesn’t need to have that much of an experience to implement, execute, and establish a remote connection using RDP. Unlike RDP, using Command-Line to remotely establish a connection required knowledge and programming (scripting) experience. RDP was developed to give users the ability to remotely connect to other computers but also utilized for other networking purposes. RDP is designed to handle a wide variety of network topologies, including ISDN and POTS. RDP is also intended to work with many LAN standards, such as IPX and NetBIOS. RDP only works using TCP/IP in its current form (MyHostinglive, n, d).

Wireless Networking is the process in which Radio Frequency (RF) is used for connecting to other nodes onto network wirelessly without the use of wire connectors. Wireless connection is becoming very popular everywhere (business, homes, and telecommunication) involving computer networking. Wireless network is essential to our everyday ways of live and has dramatically change computer networking for the better. There are different types of wireless networking available and they are:

·         Local Area network (LAN) – a computer network that operate local at a single place, is use for connecting variety of networking devices.

·         Person Area Network (PAN) – this type of wireless network can be seen as a Small Office/ Home Office (SOHO) network.  

·         Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) – the name said it all, this type of wireless network cab be implemented to expend across a city or a geographical area, collage or business center. Unlike LAN, MAN has the ability to cover as far as a miles of area.

·         Wide Area Network (WAN) – the larger of all network, and its name said it all. This type of wireless network can be establish to cover a larger geographical area (entire city, state, or even a country)

 Threats to Cloud Security.   Cloud computing is on the rise and becoming popular in the public and business enterprises sector. Many CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) like, Microsoft Azure, AWS (Amazon Web Service), and GCP (Google Cloud Platform) are offering their clients and users the opportunity to migrate the operations to the cloud by subscribing services () that fits their operation needs. There are many activities involved with migrating to the cloud that are important for the public and business enterprises to understand before making such leap (migrate). Speaking of migrating, the term security is one of the most critical aspects that concerns cybersecurity team members, and all proper measures must be taken seriously. The uprising of cyber threats to cloud computing increases by the day just as cloud computing becomes more and more popular. The following are lists of threats to cloud security: 1.       Data Breach - regardless o...

 Week One: Entry Blog. Hello to all, my name is Edward Cooper, and I was born and raised in Monrovia, Liberia, Africa. I came to the United States, November of 1996, and I reside in the beautiful state of New Jersey. I love working with different types of technologies and I just got through building a brand-new Personal Computer last month as I was pursuing my certification in Comp & Network Security Fund (CompTIA Security+), and Comp & Hardware and Software Mgmt. (CompTIA A+). I am currently taking a class in both Computer Server Environments (CompTIA Server+), and Network Mgmt. & Infrastructure (CompTIA Network+). Other than Windows Server that I have had some experiences (installed and configured) working with, I have not had experience with other vendors’ server platforms.   Speaking of server, I have some experience when it come to computer networking and I was able to build a home network (LAN) with four computers, Windows server, routers hubs, and a sw...

 Week Six: Internet Protocol version Six (IPv6). This week six topic focused on the fundamental concepts of Internet Protocol version six (IPv6), describing IPv6 practices, and the implementation of Pv6 in a Transmission Control Protocol/ Interprotocol (TCP/IP) network design. The Internet Protocol version four (IPv4) was developed for the purpose of assigning Internet Protocol addresses. IPv4 was developed to handled IP addresses for the foreseeable future, unfortunately, it turned out that wasn’t the case as the traffic (more computers became available in homes and smaller businesses) on the air wave begin too much to handle.  The IPv6 was developed as the replacement for IPv4. IPv6 comes with tremendous benefits that IPv4 didn’t had, and one of those benefits that IPv6 come with has to do with its pool of unlimitedly IP address. IPv4 is stay in used at this current moment as IPv6 translation begin slowly into replacing IPv4. There is no comparison whatsoever between IPv4 an...
