Abstract
Hoy en día, los aspectos IT son uno de los pilares fundamentales sobre los que se apoyan las empresas. No es un factor que determine el éxito de la misma pero si puede desempeñar un papel fundamental en el fracaso de la empresa si no se tiene en consideración.
Debido a la profunda crisis económica que sufrimos a nivel mundial, las empresas pequeñas y medianas disponen de poco espacio y recursos para tener una infraestructura IT competente que mejore la productividad de la empresa. Además, debido a la poca concienciación de las empresas en este aspecto, tienden a realizar recortes presupuestarios en dicho aspecto para conseguir que ésta siga adelante. Debido estos problemas, las empresas pequeñas y medianas están abocadas al fracaso. Sin embargo, hay una tecnología que puede facilitar la continuidad y el progreso de estas empresas: la virtualización.
Por otro lado, la gran mayoría de los ataques informáticos van destinados al robo de información. El mal tratamiento de las políticas de seguridad de una empresa supone un gran riesgo para el funcionamiento de la misma. Muchas empresas, ante el desconocimiento del mundo IT, tienden a malgastar dinero con tal de tener asegurados sus datos. Si una empresa no puede permitirse despilfarrar el dinero, ¿debería permitir que terceros accedan a su información de manera ilegítima?
Este proyecto supone una alternativa para todas aquellas empresas que tengan intención de eliminar gastos producidos por su aspecto IT sin disminuir la productividad de las empresas, o incluso mejorarla. También, va destinado a aquellas empresas que deseen renovar su infraestructura IT.
A lo largo de este proyecto, se expone un caso práctico de una empresa ficticia que desea renovar la infraestructura IT debido a la sospecha de que está obsoleta y que el responsable IT de la empresa se jubila. Los motivos mencionados podrían corresponder con el recorte de presupuesto y renovación de la infraestructura IT de la empresa. También, en este proyecto se diseña la seguridad perimetral, con el objetivo de minimizar las vulnerabilidades del sistema para evitar el uso ilegítimo de la información que dispone la empresa.
Nowadays, IT assets of a company are an utmost pillar upon which they are built. Although IT characteristics do not determine a company’s success, they can have a fundamental role in its failure, if they are not taken into fully consideration. Because of deep economic crisis, the whole world is suffering. Small and medium sized companies have small space and resources to be competitive. In addition, because of the low awareness of companies in this area, they tend to make budget cuts to continue forward. They are forced to cut down on their budgets to endure. According to these problems, small and medium sized companies are doomed to failure. However, there is a technology that can facilitate the continuity and progress of these companies: virtualization. On the other hand, the vast majority of computer attacks are aimed at stealing information. Therefore, improper treatment of companies’ security policies entails a risk for them. Many companies, due to IT world ignorance, tend to waste a lot of money just to have secured their private data. If a company can’t afford this waste of money, should it allow third parties to access its information unlawfully? This project offers an alternative for all those companies intending to eliminate expenses produced by their IT feature without having to reduce their productivity. In addition, it is aimed at those companies that wish to renew their IT infrastructure. Throughout this project, we expose a practical use case of a fictional company that wants to renew its IT infrastructure, motivated by the suspicion of its obsolescence and the company’s IT responsible retirement. The reasons mentioned could correspond to budget cuts and renovation of the IT infrastructure of the company. In addition, the perimeter security and the security of the employee's position is designed, minimizing system vulnerabilities to prevent illegal use of the company’s available information.
