This week there are three requirements.
- 1. Mr. Scott would like for you to apply what you have learned about perimeters on the physical building to a single computer.
- 2. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)
- 3. Using the NICE challenge framework, complete a new challenge.
Week 4 discussion topic
- 1. Read/Review Security in the Digital World Chapter 1-11Links to an external site. (This is more a starting point for those that might not have a lot of IT/Computer experience, This is certainly not an assignment to read all 11 chapters. Not all of this material will apply.)
- 2. Review Defense in Depth concepts Download Defense in Depth concepts
- 3. Review the NICE challenges student guide found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/108gn4WCV5IhNHueZfhcTKfUPdXbm3cYUtkQKH7NPCQw/edit?usp=sharingLinks to an external site.
- 4. Optional networking basics refresher: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/basics-computer-networking/Links to an external site.
Assignment Part 1:
How would we define the perimeters (outer, inner, and interior) of a computer as we did with the Techworx building?
Define and justify the perimeters of a computer you have chosen.
What technology, software, or hardware exists that could protect each perimeter? No more than two examples per perimeter. In other words, I do not want a list of 10 examples. Explain your choices.
Assignment Part 2: Mr. Scott attended a meeting about a new concept called Zero Trust. Please provide a short summary of this

Key terms to consider
Multi-Factor authentication (MFA)
Least Privilege Access
Segmentation
Assignment Part 3: Play with and familiarize yourself with the NICE challenges. I will discuss this during the live session. There are three times that you are available for you to complete this week’s challenge. (M-T, Wed-Thurs Fri-SAT). You only need to solve the nice challenge one time.
- Dangerous Drives
Please do include any solutions in the public discussion but include a screenshot of the green checks. The Technical Tutorial challenge is also available if you did not complete that in week 2.
