| Summary: | Nowadays, miscellaneous towards computer network can always be read through newspaper and be seen or hear via
electronic media. This problem is happen because of lack of effort on computer network security system. Even the
network security system or application is good, but vulnerability towards the computer network has to be implied regularly.
So, vulnerability assessment is important to be done in the computer network.
Vulnerability assessment had done towards computer network at Computer Networking Lab, Fakulti Teknologi Maklumat
dan Multimedia (FTMM), Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO). Security Life Cycle Methodology
was used as a guideline to execute Vulnerability assessment by using software, Nessus which is based on client server
model.
The result of this vulnerability assessment is there's a lot of vulnerability exists inside the computer network nodes at
FTMM Networking Technology Lab. The vulnerabilities that had found were such as open port, useless application, bugs
in the operating system and others. Therefore, a few steps had been taken such as doing patching, update the application
version and operating system that have been used, close the port that is not needed and others. When reevaluation had
made, it can be minimize the amount of vulnerabilities inside the computer network. |
