Dear Frederick Gallegos PAYOFF IDEA. Many organizations rely on vendors to provide network security; others add security measures after their net- works are installed. Neither approach effectively controls net- work data security. Instead, organizations should plan for network security while planning the network itself. This article explores how security planning fits into the network develop- ment process. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED Private and public organizations are installing local area networks (LANs) to realize the production and cost benefits they provide. Many of these LANs however, are not adequately secured. Most vendors put little effort into secu- rity, concentrating instead on rapid throughput, high expandability, and other DP capabilities, and few organizations take the time to adequately secure their networks before installing them. As a result, critical data is jeopardized. This article provides a plan for securing network data. Figure 1 presents the eight steps of this plan; this article concentrates on the first four steps and briefly describes the remaining four. INITIAL NETWORK STUDY The first step is to conduct a study of network needs and market offerings. Any such study, regardless of its breadth or complexity, requires: * The establishment of a planning team * Senior management support * Recognition of the need for security planning * Survey of capabilities of available LANs To ensure acceptance of the network, the planning team should include rep- resentatives from every group that will be affected by the LAN-future users, management, the information resource manager, and system analysts.
