For students completing the Globex project, functionality that must be demonstrated at this point is:

Wagga - demonstrate logs can be securely collected / retrieved for a 2 hour period (obviously you will have to pause your recording while the actual collection occurs, this is fine) from all network devices on the local site and at least one remote site

Albury - demonstrate that an end user at another physical site is able to download a virus test file and that this action results in a secure alert being generated by the IDS

Griffith - demonstrate that at least one other server from an external site can be taken offline (simulating a disaster) and fully recovered in a secure manner to an alternative site meeting RTO/RPO objectives.

Cloud - demonstrate an encrypted VoIP conversation can occur between two sites using soft phones.

Submission instructions: record a short screencast or video and upload to Youtube or Vimeo. You may submit as a group (with a single 10-12 minute recording) or individually (2-3 minute recording). All students will be marked individually. A link to your recording should be included in your assignment submitted to Turnitin.
