Abstract:
This project report is submitted as the report to the final exam in IT – Technology 4th semester. The
project is elaborated in collaboration with Origio A/S (www.origio.com). The project is 7 weeks long, starting from 31st October to 16th December.
The main goal in the project is to harden the security in Origio’s server infrastructure by enabling
local firewalls in the running servers. There will be several security issues and methods that will be
taken into consideration. The project is a combination of practice and central applied theory, since it
contains both assessments and consideration and practical suggestion on the implementation
technique.
Readers may also encounter technical terms, since the project will be covering a variety of sub-topics
such as network protocols, network ports, firewalls, Windows technology, Windows PowerShell,
network domain and Active Directory, …
Also, I would like to thank to those who assisted and helped me along the project, as they are also
important contributors to it. One of them is Michael Brandi Andersen, my project supervisor, who
helped me a lot in forming the project ideas and guide me to the end of the project. I would like to
thank all of my teachers at KEA, for teaching me valuable knowledge since I started the education.
Last but not least, I would like to thank all of my colleagues at Origio, for your caring and support for
the project.
