In this project, we are securing a small business's servers by applying security concepts, planning, and implementation.
Overview
Overview
In this project, our team will be filling the role of IT consultants for a small business called Akwaaba. Akwaaba is a steakhouse serving Caribbean-inspired cuisines with locations in New York City, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. It will be our job to secure the web servers from internal or external threats. Akwaaba has a virtual computer system with web servers that need a security plan and implementation. In order to accomplish this task, we will be analyzing the web servers as well as understanding the small business and their needs. The requirements for the project are gathered through the Project Kick-off, where the project sponsor, Dr. Lei Li, led the meeting.
