For the purpose of this assignment, assume that you are a network administrator for a small office located in the area where you currently live or in an area where you have lived.

Normally, the office has 20 to 25 people working onsite using either desktop or laptop computers with Ethernet connections. Because of recent events, more than 75% of the employees are working remotely now and will continue to do so for at least the next year. 

With so many employees suddenly working remotely, it is critical to create a plan to protect the data and limit the company’s liability for breaches. Follow the instructions below to complete this assignment: 

1. Identify the types of threats and the specific threats that need to be considered when designing security protocols and operations for this network. 
2. Remember to consider threats associated with remote access. Be specific to the situation and to your area.
3. Discuss the tools and/or techniques you would use to protect the network and data from each type of threat, while still allowing workers remote access to the data and applications that they need. 
4. For each tool or technique mentioned, state whether it mainly involves intrusion prevention or intrusion detection.

Your case study should be at least two pages in length, in addition to a title page and a reference page (title and reference pages do not count toward the total page requirement). You should use and cite at least three sources. One source should be from the readings for this unit in uCertify. 

Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.
