Discuss About The Reliever Compounds In Multiple Bio Fluids?
Data and information are important for any business and it represent confidential details regarding the company. In Australia, the communication and energy sector are leads in having the most compromised systems; while, in terms of DDoS activity, the communication sectors and financial sectors are the highest (Australian Cyber Security Centre 2017). However, all the sectors in Australia are suffered from network security attacks and mining and resource sectors suffered from highest number of spam and malicious e-mails (Australian Cyber Security Centre., 2017).

Moreover, the network security also illustrates the problem of cybercrime and procurement fraud that is also growing tremendously in Australia according to the PwC’s 2016 Global Economic Crime Survey (Perlman et al., 2016).

Kahate (2013) moreover stated that data security in network should be accomplished as there is always a threat from hackers to hack all the crucial details of the company and utilize the same for unethical purpose. Thus, every organization needs to develop network data security in order to prevent industry sabotage and espionage of the important data. In this business report, the concept of information/network security will be illustrated along with three recent demands of network security applications adopted by organizations. In addition to that, the pros and cons of these applications and a proposal for implementing these applications for the next five years will also be presented. Lastly, discussion on whether to adapt customizing off-the-shelf applications or developing products in-house for security maintenance services will also be given.
In this era of technology almost every work is accomplished through computers, machines and technological innovations. Tankard (2012) also depicts that computers are also used for the purpose of information security and trust in systems apart from completing the work fast and accurately. The terms information security can be describes through three concepts- confidentiality, integrity and availability (Kahate, 2013).

Manshaei et al. (2013) describes that the attainment of control for accessing the information from one system is known as confidentiality. Moreover, the assurance of transformation of information and programs in authorized manner is termed as integrity; whereas, assurance that only authorized members have the accessibility of information and resources is known as availability (Schneider 2012). Many organizations also develop security policy for the purpose of protection responsibilities, information values and organizational commitment (Tankard, 2012).
In recent times, the security comes with the solutions of cloud as there are huge data for each single entity (organization). Yu et al. (2012) highlighted that cloud technology not only allows storing significant number of data but it also provide the chance to manipulate the data easily without redundancy. Cloud Access Security Brokers is the recent technology that provides Service (SaaS) apps to offer visibility and control options (Gonzalez et al. 2012). Endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions is also a new technology that allows detection of security breaches and respond quickly so that accurate solutions can be incorporated (Mell, 2012). EDR is also combined with Indicators of Compromise (IOC) which also used to identify the network breaches at the initial stage. Another technology that is based on detection and response paradigm is Intelligence-driven security operations centers (ISOCs) that use the context-aware components to offer an adaptive architecture (Yu et al., 2012). In addition to that, the Remote Browser is used for to protect the e-mails from malicious messages and attacks.
The three network security applications that can be used by an organization are- authentication application (Kerberos), Web Security Standards (SSL/TLS) and e-mail and IP security (Kahate, 2013).
The authentication application “Kerberos”, the database of the clients are protected through private keys and the users register their preferred secret keys with Kerberos. Schrittwieser et al. (2012) sated that this concept is closely related to the data encryption and the Kerberos shared a session key and then forwards it to the clients and servers for message encryption. The success of this application is Kerberos Version 5 (Stallings & Brown, 2012). In this case, client requests for a ticket granting service from the application, which then transferred the ticket to the clients and encrypted the ticket by following client’s secret key. The issued ticket is then used by the server in order to evaluate whether or not it is the same client to whom the ticket is issued. Perlman et al. (2016) highlight that the ticket is used as many times till it expires. The client presents the ticket to the server with client’s name, timestamp and encrypted session key that are also referred as authenticator.
Fahl et al. (2012) depicts that there are some risks and treats based on locations and type of attacks. The risk may arise in server or client network that is then known as system security and the risk may arise in terms of network traffic that is referred as web security. Additionally, there are two types of attacks- passive attacks and active attacks. (Hodges et al., 2012) describes that passive attacks illustrates the accessing the traffic between server and browser. This attacks also denotes the accessing the crucial data and information on a website. In addition to that, the active attacks also referred to the situation where one person impersonating another user, alters information on a website and altering message in traffic. In order to overcome this adversity the application that is used is Netscape that originates the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Raza et al. (2014) highlighted that the SSL also evaluates the concept of connections and sessions. Perlman et al. (2016) stated that SSL only offer data encryption between SSL and TLS enabled mail servers.

A connection offers suitable types of services; whereas, the session is considered as association between the server and a client. This application offer secure communication over the internet and the major functions of this application are- client authentication, data encryption and data integrity checks.
Wireshark is an application that is use to capture, filter and inspect packets. This application is also known as Ethereal. This application also protects the IP address of a website from malicious attacks and is compatible with all kind of operating system like Linux, macOS, BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Unix-like operating systems. The major functionality that this application performs are collecting data from live network connection or from a captured already-captured packet and also from different networks like IEEE 802.11, PPP, and loopback. This allows them to detect any discrepancies in the initial stages. The IP address and data display can be protected through display filters that detect intruder through their misconducts and safeguard company’s website and business.
The prime advantage of this application is that it considered crucial details like client’s name, timestamp and encrypted session key. This application also provides faster authentication as it uses a unique ticketing system and only the matched tickets will allow permits by the resource servers.
The disadvantage is that the ticket can be used more than once till expiry. This allow hackers to access all the details if they jack the ticket before it expires.
The prime benefit is that all the organization’s members can communicate securely with their own browsers. Another advantage that can be get from this kind of application is deep inspection of the technology and SSL-encrypted traffic through bi-directional parsing and analysis. Citrix NetScaler Solution provides protection for infrastructure and users and XML protection that allows the organization to detecting and blocking common application threats.
owever, the disadvantage that is related to this approach is that if a member sends a message from unsecured (non-SSL) email systems, the message will no longer be a secured site and will not be protected by SSL.
The prime advantage of Wireshark is that it provides security protocols to IP and DHCP for leading companies like AppleTalk and BitTorrent. Another advantage is that since this application is developed under an open source model it is easy to include new support tools along with their each updates.
The disadvantage is that small organization or new online industry does not incorporate such advance security system due to lack of budget and thus, these applications are not suitable for such organization.
The applications that have been mentioned will help in expanding of the business of the organization. The small companies should always focus on the information technology infrastructure. When the organization is generating revenue slowly they should have spent some amount of money on the infrastructure of the organization so that the information technology department can support the operation of the organization (Nguyen, Newby & Macaulay, 2015). The relationship between information technology and operations is very important, as it constitutes the business model. When the business of an organization grows information technology infrastructure will have to be increased to make changes in the operations of the organization. Therefore, the organization will require sophisticated software requirements, which is more robust (Bollou, F. 2014). This will support the increase in the number of user applications in the system so the new sophisticated network system that will help in protecting the data and the user applications. In the coming years, the number of employees in the organization will increase and so will the business clients. These network tools will provide security to the organizational data and will help in managing multiple networks at a single time. During the expansion of the business, the transition of the business will be facilitated by the expansion of the network security applications. The amount of data that has been stored in the database of the organization will be huge so the organization will have to make that no data is lost during the transition of the data. This can be maintained by including the above-mentioned network tools which are necessary for keeping the various types of data in the organization safe and secure.
This network security software is used by most of the multinational companies in the market and the organization while providing solution to their clients. Therefore, by using these software, the organization will be able to create a secure network for the clients which will help in improving their reputation in the market. When the organization is able to fulfill the needs, and wants of the organization then it will create opportunities to expand their business (Zhang & Warner, 2017). The companies in the market will acknowledge the company as a viable option for providing them with solutions. Thus, by including the network security tools, the organization is able to enhance the quality of service they provide to the clients which will definitely be a positive step towards the expansion of business and acquisition of more clients.
he needs of the various business organization vary depending upon their magnitude. The application required for the larger organization will be different from that of the small-scale organizations. Similarly, the application will depend on the industry and the operational process of the organization. The application sued for the manufacturing industry will be completely different from that of the retail industry. The companies in the market will making the applications on the basis of the business model of their respective organizations. The organization in today’s world are trying to improve their business process using integration which may provide them with competitive advantage in the market (Jolly et al., 2015). The clients will have to identify the right software required for their organization so it is the duty of the vendor to provide the organization with a proper guidance which will help them to understand their requirements. This will help to identify the type of software which will be feasible for the operations in the organization.
The off the shelf software have lower cost at an upfront level and contains a lot of features most of which is not required by the organization. This software includes support and can contain maintenance contracts. The upgrades of this software are available for free or at a lower cost than the other products (Morrow, 2016). Moreover, when it is used as software as a service the installation cost is even more low as it does not contain any hardware. The products that are made at an inhouse level will consist of the minimum requirements of the clients and other requirements can be added to the software according to the needs of the clients. This software is tailor made which consist of the exact need of the consumer and changes can be made in this system very easily. However, the initial cost of the setting up this software is high and all the extra requirements will be billable and will increase the overall cost of setting up the software. The in-house product is custom made and will consist of the additional cost as it is specific to the organization only (Sekowski & Gibbons, 2016). However, the immediate needs and the long-term goals of the organization are two important aspect which has to be taken in to account as balancing both the aspect will be crucial for the clients. However, the organization will have to look in to the needs of the client to identify which type will be better for the client. There are some organization who may require a lot of features so in that scenario it is advisable to use the off the shelf products as the cost will be low and the delivery can be made at a faster rate. However, as most of the clients are of smaller magnitude and consist of small and medium scale industry then it will be best if they provide the organization with in house products. Thus, it can be concluded that in house product will be the best option for the organization as it will help them to provide a better quality of service (Kruger, Abu-Mahfouz & Hancke, 2015).
Conclusion
In this business report, it is concluded that the information security can be described through three concepts- confidentiality, integrity and availability. This security is necessary so that an organization can securely transmit their details and message with their employees. However, in recent times, hackers and IT intruders hacks all the authentications and access to the company’s useful information. Such technologies for network security in recent times are Cloud Access Security Brokers, Endpoint detection and response (EDR), Indicators of Compromise (IOC) and Intelligence-driven security operations centers (ISOCs). However, in this buiness report the three application that is taken into consideration are- Authentication Application (Kerberos), Web Security Standards (SSL/TLS)- Citrix NetScaler Solution and Wire Shark.
In addition to that, it is also concluded that all these application uses unique tools not only for securing the website from hackers but these application also determines discrepancies in the initial stages. Moreover, all the small business organizations or entities need IT process to support their business approaches. Thus, implementing these tools will helps all the organizations especially the inline business as all their business processes will be accomplished through online services and websites. This will provide the enterprises the opportunity to grow.
Thus, it is recommended that the organization should make use of the network security software to expand the business of the organization. The organization will have to provide in house software as a means of solution to their clients which will help them in providing better service than before.
