| Type of Security Issue | Solutions and Technology used | Network Administration Principles |
| 1. Denial of service attack- | Use Anti-Dos attack technology such as ASIC Dos Mitigation Engines and Network Behavioral analysis (NBA). |
|
| 2. Traffic spike | Install server-side caching plug-in and extensions to cope with traffic. You can also get a better server or make sure the content is rendered quickly. You can also use a Content Delivery Network(CDN) technology |
|
| 3. Reflective/amplified attack | Close down your DNS resolvers, implement BCP38 or ask the upstream provider to implement it. You can also deploy DNS rate limiting on authoritative DNS servers as a technology. |
|
| 4. Smurfing Attack | Shut off the broadcasts addressing features of the external router and firewall. Vantage system is a technology developed that monitors the network for attacks. |
|
| 5. Physical attack | Use surveillance systems such as CCTV cameras. Use access control, meaning doors and locks and multiple alarms. |
|
| 6. ARP cache poisoning | Configure your switch to use private VLANs (PVLANS) for optimal security. |
|
| 7. Packet sniffing attack | Use secure protocols for a start, for example, HTTP, and SSH. Build the network with a switch technology rather than hub technology. |
|
| 8. Spoofing- | Configure the firewall and routers correctly to restrict forged traffic from the internet. You can also implement authentication and encryption mechanisms to reduce the threat capability. |
|
| 9. Rouge access point attack- | Hide behind an Ethernet hub to detect the attack. You can also configure the rouge AP as 802.1x supplicant. |
|
| 10.Wardriving- | Encrypt the wireless interaction and filter the Mac address capable of connecting to the router. |
