BSIT 400 - Cloud Computing and Governance. Migration to the Cloud Technology has transformed and revolutionized our ways of achieving and accomplishing dreams and goals since its existence. The introduction of cloud computing has taken it even further. The purpose for this week three blog topic is center around “Migration to the Cloud.” There are a variety of contents and activities involved with cloud migration, and it’s imperative for one to fully understand all these contents and activities involved for a smooth transition. Some of these contents are but not limited to, Migration Planning, Migration Execution, Deployment Testing and Validation, Cloud Agility, and Planning for Problem. This week three blog is going to focuses on the following contents and activities: 1. Migration Planning a. Cloud Migration Phases – this activity involved completing the most important phases contents which are Planning, m...

Week 2: Vulnerability Management Activities and Vulnerability Assessment Tools. This week's reading material covered various topics like Service Level Agreements (SLA), vulnerability scanning tools, Common Vulnerability Scoring Systems (CVSS), and vulnerability feeds. In addition, there are various other topics discussed in the chapter reading that are just as important and play an essential role in the cybersecurity analyzing process as the four main discussion topics. As a cybersecurity analyst, you should never always expect to be hundred percent on point all the time because there is no hundred percent right or wrong, especially in the computer networking infrastructure. However, this doesn't mean that as a cybersecurity analyst, you shouldn't give it all the effort you know you are capable of. We live in an information age that requires us to adapt to the content of transformation occurrences. As I stated in my discussion post, we live in a comparative world, and ...
BSIT380-T301 System Hardening and Network Risk Management. Week One Introduction. Hello, and welcome to my first blog posting of the week! My name is Edward Cooper, and I was born and raised in Monrovia, Liberia, on the West Coast of Africa. I came to the United States of America in November of 1996 and have been living in New Jersey since. I am a Bellevue University student pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, and I look forward to graduating in August of 2024 if everything goes accordingly. I am an employee of Target Corporation, and I am grateful and appreciative for Target giving me the opportunity of going to school on a tuition-free program. My current class concerning this blog posting is BSIT380-T301 System Hardening and Network Risk Management – CompTIA CySA+ Cybersecurity Analyst Certification. I am excited to see what this course has to offer – especially with me having little to no cybersecurity experience. Everything interests me about the ...
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 emp...
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...
Week Five: Advanced Networking Devices - VPN Lots of topics were discussed for this week five chapters reading, and the four chapters reading are: TCP/IP Applications, Network Naming, Securing TCP/IP, and Advanced Networking Devices. All the contents or topics provided in each chapter reading played an important role in computer networking. The purpose for this blog is that I will be picking a single topic from one of the four chapters and discuss to the best of my knowledge. Let get started with that being said! Virtual Private Networks (VPN) VPN is configurated for secure network communications. VPN hides Internet Protocol (IP) address from could-be hackers, government agencies, corporations, etc. It doesn’t matter if whether you are connected to a VPN in public, your identity will stay always remind protocoled. You put your privacy at risk when connected to a public network because that public network doesn’t have encrypt tunnel, and therefore, has no endpoints. VPN in the other...
Week Four: TCP/IP, and Routing The week four topics focuses on Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and Routing. Both contents play an important role in the computer networking environment as we all know. Like every other technology that we heavily relied on to execute our daily activities, TCP/IP had a rough beginning. To put it into content, and be specific, TCP/IP was created by UNIX. In the early 80s, four of major players in the computer and network industry (Microsoft, Apple, Novell, and UNIX) had created their own protocol com communicating and sending data over a network. No one software or protocol could execute everything that the network required, and because of that, the four major companies decided to put together their “protocol under term the protocol suite.” The following are the lists of those protocol: IPX/ SPX represented Novell, NetBIOS/NetBEUI represented Microsoft, AppleTalk represented Apple, and TCP/IP represented UNIX. Eventually as time...
