Desarrollo de un modelo de seguridad para redes de área local

Abstract

Currently, global interconnectivity has become an important and necessary resource for personal and work communication, one of the technologies for this communication is the internet, because it allows to be connected with multiple people among which may be friends, family, etc. This communication is done through computers, mobile devices, among other tools, through a network or set of computer networks. The computer network is described as a set of equipment connected by cables, signals, waves or any other method of data transport and which share information, such information in most cases is of great relevance to users, therefore should take into account several aspects regarding networks, and one of the most important is the security to be provided to it, there are different types of networks, this paper addresses the local area network with the various security controls that this entails. Although there is no model as such that allows to secure a LAN taking into account the aspects or areas that conform it, relevant information can be obtained which helps to identify the main vulnerabilities and measures that can be covered to create an optimal security model, All of the above is done based on the collection of information from scientific sources, both articles from recognized scientific journals, as well as some external sources such as the internet and even with experiences of managers in the area of systems and computer security of different companies mainly in the canton of Pasaje, to subsequently take appropriate measures that serve to assemble the security model which highlights several aspects in important items that make up the local network as its infrastructure as well as its wireless connection and establishment of security policies, then apply these controls to a local network in a company, aiming to propose a model of local area network with a security approach using best practices, thus ensuring the integrity and availability of the existing infrastructure in an organization, as it is essential for proper service of its various functions within the same.
