This document provides guidance on how to create an effective PowerPoint presentation (PPT). It begins by stating what a PPT is not - a report, fact sheet, or space to practice design. A PPT should assist the audience and help with decision making. The key steps are to know the audience and objective, plan the flow of ideas, align the content, present an agenda and summary, use titles as action items, and add graphics where needed. Slides should be concise with one main point or action item each. The presenter should rehearse and be prepared to answer questions.

1. How To Create PPT
- Abhishek Kapoor (2/3 PGPEX)

2. Agenda
 What a PPT is not
 What is a PPT
 How to initiate PPT creation
 How to organize a PPT

3. PPT is NOT a Report
 OVERALL ASSESSMENT
 Rules have been fairly configured on the
firewall, however there are rules that need to be
reviewed and reconfigured accordingly.
 Following are the observations made:
 There are rules configured where a source host or
network can access a destination host or network on
ports that are vulnerable.
 A number of objects are combined in source and
destination fields and a number of ports are opened for
access between them.
 There are few redundant rules where a number of source
hosts access a particular destination using the same
service ports.
 A few network, port and service object-groups are
created which are not used and are redundant in the
firewall configuration.
You may project report separately

4. PPT is NOT a Fact Sheet
Security Check Risk Rating SecondaryASA
Weak physical security High
Latest version of Software is not installed Medium Safe
Insecure hostname Low Safe
Default/Blank Exec mode password High
Default/Blank VT password High
Un-attended terminal timeouts are not set Medium Unsafe
Remote access is not restricted Low Safe
Un-restricted inbound ICMP traffic Medium Unsafe
Fragment Protection is not configured Low Unsafe
High ARP clean-up interval Low Unsafe
VLAN’s with Native VLAN ID Medium Unsafe
Login banner is not enabled Low Unsafe
You may project fact sheet also separately

5. PPT is NOT a Design Space
 The servers are not protected properly and may lead to
leakage of critical data if not managed properly provided
there are no loop holes and no body guarding at the main
door if …..
 But this situation can be avoided if we use our
brain, kidney, liver and intestines judiciously
without any discrimination …..
 Which will lead to better Indo-Pak
relationship without hampering the
security of the critical servers kept in
the datacenter of your DR site.
