This paper will outline some key points of my strategic vision for our network security plan to protect our systems from cyber attack. There are three main areas that are most important for our network to remain secure and operational. First, we must have a sound management policy on how are network will be used and accessed. Our management policy should be understood by all and enforced. Second, we must have a plan for the utilization of antivirus software within our organization and those who access the network remotely. The odds of becoming a victim of cyber attack are now about 1 in 4 (Protect Yourself Online, 2008). That means many of our employees will be victims of such attacks. These attacks could happen while on the job using our computer network or off duty while using their home computers. Third, we need to ensure good backup procedures for our network servers and desktop computers.

Most of our employees' home computers are linked to the internet for home use, and many of our employees send emails back and forth between work and home. In addition, some of our employees take their projects home with them on removable media devices which have...
