Project One Guidelines and Rubric
CYB 220 Project One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
One of the main projects for this course is the creation of a virtual
systems and networking concept brief in which you will configure
operating systems in a simulated environment as a proof of concept
before implementing changes in the live production environment. This
work is often referred to as "sandboxing." As a security analyst, you will
be asked to install and configure new settings within a virtualized
environment.
The audience for this brief is the system administrator for a fictional
organization at which you are employed. This brief will serve as the basis
for a proposal that your manager will be creating to propose a new
network configuration. You have also been asked to provide a level of
justification around the basic concepts of virtual systems so that your
system administrator can include that in a proposal to other
organizational stakeholders.
The project leverages the skills that you have built using tools
in Modules Two and Three. The project will be submitted in Module
Five.
Access the GNS3 environment through InfoSec Learning Labs. Log into
InfoSec and follow the steps in the Project One Activity Guide.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following
course competency: ⚫ Describe the basic concepts and uses of virtual systems and
•
networks.
Scenario
As a security analyst, you are tasked with creating a concept brief for
your system administrator. This task includes creating multiple accounts,
configuring network settings, and modifying group policies. To help you
complete this task, your instructor will provide you with a scenario
containing network configuration settings and group policy changes that
you will need to implement. Additionally, you will be asked to describe
the benefits and drawbacks of virtualization technology.
Prompt
Address the critical elements listed below.
Virtual Systems and Networking Concept Brief
1. Using Virtual Systems
A. Configure group policy settings tto meet project
specifications as identified in the InfoSec Project One
Activity. Provide screenshots from the local group policy
editor dialog box as evidence of each change.
B. Configure network resources to meet the network
configuration settings as identified in the InfoSec Project
One Activity. Provide a screenshot of each network setting
configuration.
II. Conceptual Justification for Uses of Virtual Systems
A. Describe the benefits of using virtualization technology in
sandboxing.
B. Describe the drawbacks of using virtualization technology in
sandboxing. C. Describe a situation other than sandboxing where
virtualization technology would be a valuable solution.
What to Submit
Your submission should be 1 to 3 pages in length (in addition to
screenshots). Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and
one-inch margins. Any sources you use should be cited according to APA
style. Use a filename that includes the course code, the assignment title,
and your name—for example,
CYB_100_Project_One_Neo_Anderson.docx.
