Given that a company’s network is critical infrastructure, it is important to have a network security plan that specifies how the network will be protected against internal and external threats.
Recently an Australian university’s network was subjected to a cyber attack, with the hackers gaining access to staff and student records going back 19 years.
What went wrong?
Scenario
Ground Clearance Ltd is a company that maintains, leases, buys and sells new and used trucks, bulldozers, mobile cranes, graders, etc. The head office is at the Douala site in Cameroon. The other company sites are in Yaounde, Bertoua and Kumbo.
