About developing a security plan
Developing a security plan is your first step in your installation process and
helps you collect the information needed to install and configure your Symantec
Security Gateway appliance.
The process of developing a security plan consists of three basic steps:
■
Defining your security policy
■
Educating your users
■
Filling out worksheets
Defining your security policy
Before configuring your security gateway, you must understand exactly what
network resources and services you want to . It is crucial to have a carefully
designed network security policy to guard the valuable resources and
information of your organization.
Ideally, your security policy should be captured in a document that describes
your organization’s VPN needs and concerns. Creating this document is the first
step in building an effective overall system and should be done prior to
installation.
Your security plan details the implementation of your security policy. Based on
the security concerns and trade-offs of your overall policy, your security plan
should contain a set of tasks. One of these tasks consists of establishing
procedures and rules for access to resources located on your network. These
resources include:
■
Host computers and servers
■
Workstations
■
Connection devices (gateways, routers, bridges, and repeaters)
■
Terminal servers and remote access servers
■
Networking and applications software
■
Information in files and databases
