INFS1701 – Introduction to Networking & Security

“SecureStart” Pitch

Background:

You will work individually to develop a cybersecurity pitch to help small businesses identify and improve their cybersecurity controls.

You represent a newly formed cybersecurity consulting firm that you have setup and your first ever pitch will be known as ‘SecureStart’ aimed at small businesses in Australia looking to improve their cybersecurity controls and comply with Australian regulatory requirements.

Weighting and due date: 35%

Instructions:

Identify and document potential network vulnerabilities for small businesses.

1. Identify and observe the operations of 3 similar small businesses that you are familiar with e.g. restaurants, supermarkets, corner shops, etc. It will work best if the three business are similar in their type of business, size and operation. Identify their key network infrastructure i.e. computer networks and systems that they use e.g. Point of Sale equipment, order management, inventory management, communications systems, etc.

2. Note down and discuss potential security vulnerabilities within their existing structures, including how any of these could be used to infiltrate larger systems elsewhere.

3. Upload the network diagram and the discussions as a single PDF document. Note that the network diagram should be no more than 1 A4 page and the discussion should be no more than 2 A4 pages.
