Enterprise Network Security Analysis – 25% (Due Session 12)
The assessment assesses the following learning outcomes:
LO 1 Describe the principles of systems and network security and apply them to evaluate risks,
threats and the goals of information security.
LO 5 Analyse various controls and evaluate their effectiveness for information security in an
enterprise.
LO 6 Evaluate the effectiveness (both in terms of performance and limitations) of individual control
techniques in network and information security.
LO 7 Critically evaluate the risk against controls and implement enterprise security policies.
INSTRUCTIONS
In this assessment you are required to carry out an analysis of Enterprise Network Security. You
are required to prepare a report using the IEEE Conference template provided on the LMS. The
report should not extend the length of the original template. A video presentation needs to be
submitted in which you are required to present your analysis. You should include references in
your report and these and must be in the IEEE style.
Submission Guidelines
The report is to be submitted through turn-it-in. link and the video presentation in the
assignment link. Drop-boxes linked to turn-it-in will be set up in the Unit of Study Moodle
account. Reports not submitted through these drop-boxes will not be considered.
Submissions must be made by the due date and time (which will be in the session detailed above)
and determined by the Unit facilitator. Submissions made after the due date and time will be
penalized at the rate of 10% per day (including weekend days).
The turn-it-in similarity score will be used in determining the level if any of plagiarism. Turn-it-in
will check conference web-sites, Journal articles, the Web and your own class member
submissions for plagiarism. You can see your turn-it-in similarity score when you submit your
assignment to the appropriate drop-box. If this is a concern you will have a chance to change
your assignment and re-submit. However, re-submission is only allowed prior to the submission
due date and time. After the due date and time have elapsed you cannot make re-submissions
and you will have to live with the similarity score as there will be no chance for changing. Thus,
plan early and submit early to take advantage of this feature. You can make multiple submissions,
but please remember we only see the last submission, and the date and time you submitted will
be taken from that submission. Your document should be a single word or pdf document
containing your report.

Task
In this assessment you are required to prepare a research report that analyses the Enterprise Network
Security. The research report needs to be prepared in the IEEE Template provided on the LMS and the
content of your report should be limited to the template length, which is 4 pages. You are required to
select a paper on enterprise networks published no later than 2017, on one of the given areas and get an
approval from the Lecturer by the end of week 6, before you start working on your report. The research
report areas include:
• Cryptography: Key management, public key infrastructures, certification, revocation, and
authentication
• Implementation and evaluation of networked security systems
• Security and privacy policies in Enterprise networks
• Security and privacy in cyber-physical systems
• Internet Security: Protocols, standards, measurements
• Security and privacy for the Internet of Things
• Protocol security
• Computer and network forensics
• Intrusion detection, prevention, and response
• Physical-layer and cross-layer security technologies
• Security and privacy in emerging wireless technologies and applications
• Security for future Internet architectures and designs
• Usable security and privacy
In the report you are required to cite at least 5 articles and references for the article need to be provided
in IEEE Style as in the template. You are required to submit a video presentation with 10-15 slides, the
duration of the video presentation should be between 5-10 minutes. The video presentation could be
prepared using zoom, the video presentation should be like the way lectures are conducted with slides
running in the background and a small video of you presenting.
