COM-520 Written Assignment 4
Project Scenario
Always Fresh Foods Inc. is a food distributor with a central headquarters and main warehouse in
Colorado, as well as two regional warehouses in Nevada and Virginia.
The company runs Microsoft Windows 2019 on its servers and Microsoft Windows 10 on its workstations.
There are 2 database servers, 4 application servers, 2 web servers, and 25 workstation computers in the
headquarters offices and main warehouse. The network uses workgroups, and users are created locally
on each computer. Employees from the regional warehouses connect to the Colorado network via a
virtual private network (VPN) connection.
Due to a recent security breach, Always Fresh wants to increase the overall security of its network and
systems. They have chosen to use a solid multilayered defense to reduce the likelihood that an attacker
will successfully compromise the company’s information security. Multiple layers of defense throughout
the IT infrastructure makes the process of compromising any protected resource or data more difficult
than any single security control. In this way, Always Fresh protects its business by protecting its
information.
