Trust Evaluation of the Current Security Measures Against Key Network Attacks

This paper security measures are implemented in enterprise network architecture and evaluated against current trend of network security as well as used various methods of penetration to confirm the vulnerabilities of the network within the confines of network security management. This was achieved by using a security distribution of Linux. The main focus of this paper is on Enumeration and Scanning of network devices and technologies. A general security model is generated to analyze the afore-mentioned scenario and to aid in better comprehending the concept of penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. This paper also contains information on common threats to Wide Area Networks (WANs) while analyzing their underlying structure.
