Abstract

The objective of this study is to show the importance, nowadays, of the correct implementation of an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and also the BYOD policies. To achieve this objective, we plan to make an exploratory analysis of CONFIDENCIA S.A., with the purpose of verifying the existence of both physical and logical inconveniences in the existing infrastructure and, through this evidence, to expose the necessary remediation recommendations. It is considered as motivation for the current analysis, the necessity to present through a practical case, a demonstration of how multiple reported network drawbacks are caused by an incorrect configuration of the tools related to the physical infrastructure. In order to achieve the stated objective, a series of analyzes was carried out, in addition to several interviews with key personnel in the Information Technology area and related suppliers. Based on the results obtained, both from the instruments of analysis and from the interviews conducted; it was possible to determine the main weaknesses of the Information Technology Department, both related to the existing policies and in the implemented infrastructure. Due to this finding, it was possible to make a series of recommendations that, if implemented by the Information Technology Department, will enable it to improve its network infrastructure and its internal security
