U2.4 LANs, MANs, WANs
  1. LAN
    1. security issues
      1. failures on backbone
        1. failures where backbone connects with each workgroup
          1. provides a point of access from a workgroup to the backbone
            1. provides a point of access to all data associated with a workgroup
            2. information flow control
              1. network management
                1. failure to manage leads to
                  1. network operation disruption
                    1. increased effort to identify problems
                      1. longer time to problem resolution

                    1. eavesdropping
                      1. data corruption
                        1. backbone loss
                        2. protection measures
                          1. used dedicated switchers per workgroup
                            1. each switch should restrict the flow of data to the backbone
                              1. use firewalls where additional separation needed
                                1. use encryption
                              2. MAN
