DQ4

Question 1. Due Wednesday 1/26

Modern network traffic monitoring devices, such as FireEye and Palo Alto, provide a higher level of security and detection than common firewalls and IDS/IPSs. Describe how these devices function. Do they really offer the level of protection that they claim? Would you recommend them to a client? Why or why not?

Question 2. Due on Friday

Then, examine one element of your chosen network’s infrastructure and apply it to cloud computing. Would it be feasible to migrate to the cloud? Would it be cost effective? Why or why not?
