Ademowo, Adewale Adebayo 2010. Testing Mail Server Vulnerabilities and Recommending Control Measures – A Case of Interglobal Limited. Bachelor’s Thesis. Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences. The Unit of Business and Culture. Pages 60.
The case company in this Thesis is Interglobal Limited located in Nigeria. The aim of this study is to test for mail server vulnerabilities and recommend control measures in dealing with the identified vulnerabilities.
In this thesis, I have x-ray basis of information security; relationships among threat, attacks, and vulnerabilities; threat and security concerns on mail servers and clients; mail server overview and common vulnerability challenges; and vulnerability issues with Interglobal Limited mail servers.
This research has led me to conduct vulnerability scanning of Interglobal Limited mail server through an email client configured on the server. The results of the tests and overview of research objectives have influenced my recommendations on control measures to deal with the found vulnerability and unexpected vulnerabilities in the future.
Communication is one of the key strengths of an organisation. It is imperative for businesses to have email communication for passing across information to the clients and vice versa. The security of mail communication backbone should be of greater importance and concern to individuals and corporate organisations.
