wide network infrastructure

.

Because the network has to revaluated from the beginning, the company wants to ensure that the new

network has as many reasonable security controls and mechanisms in place. What solutions can you

propose to support these initiatives? Create the following

Describe the access controls and how the company can ensure that devices and

topology are effective and working to protect the company infrastru

o

Review and describe the need for intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion

o

Discuss how they can effectively be used in a network operations setting.

o

Ensure that there is an appropriate use of the IDS and IPS in the ne

twork diagram.
