In this lab we were taught on what are the goals of IT Security. The main focus in this lab session is for us to be able to determine NTFS and FAT32 partitions, as well as implementing confidentiality, integrity, and availability in Windows Server 2003.
The goals of information security is to achieve three aspects namely confidentiality, integrity and availability and the implementation of a secure computing network environment. However, to achieve the balance between the three elements is a difficult task. Besides that, another goal to achieved is to provide legitimate use of resources which ensures that the resources are from the original source.
Our first task is to use an NTFS partition to secure local resources. Windows Server 2003 has a feature of setting up local file security. The main concern about this part is that you have to check whether there's any corruption of a FAT32 partition on a particular hard-drive, in our case we used a virtual machine. Then, the NTFS conversion can be done with commands typed in the Command Prompt.
The most convenient thing about this lab session is that we are taught to implement data confidentiality, integrity and availability at the same time. We have created two user accounts in Windows 2003 virtual machine, then create folders, then do some settings to the folders. Basically, there's a security option in folders created. Furthermore, it's easier to set user permissions which allows or restrict access of certain users towards a folder in a particular network, which covers the three security principles.
