D. Provide a network topology diagram using Microsoft Visio or a similar software tool that represents the proposed merging requirements from the scenario
of Company A and Company B, including remediation of all existing infrastructure problems described in part A and part C. (Attached as Merged Topology
Diagram)
E. Identify which layer of the OSI model and layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack apply to each component in the merged network topology diagram. ( See
Attached Merged Topology Diagram)
F. Justify the retention or deletion of four existing components as suggested in your proposed network topology diagram. Include how each component’s
retention or deletion and any newly required additions to the network address both security concerns and budgetary restrictions found in the scenario. (See
Attached Merged Topology Diagram)
G. Explain how two secure network design principles are included in your proposed merged network topology diagram.
H. Describe two secure hardware and/or software components integrated into the proposed network topology and how each component will address the
security needs of the merged organization.
I. Explain how the proposed network topology diagram for the merged organization addresses security safeguards based on a regulatory compliance
requirement.
J. Explain a security threat and one potential network problem that would become a risk as part of the implementation of the proposed network topology
diagram, including why each would become a risk.
- Explain how the security threat and potential network problem should each be managed or mitigated as part of the implementation of the proposed
topology diagram.
K. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
L. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
