Scenario: Your boss wants to know how to detect an intrusion into or an attack on the e-commerce network. Your boss also wants to know what hardware or software should be procured for intrusion detection.
Write a 2- to 3-page business report (@ 350 wpp) describing the hardware and/or software you believe should be considered for implementation.
Include your reasoning for why the described hardware and/or software should be procured and implemented.
Address the following questions raised by your boss:
Does a properly installed and maintained firewall provide adequate defense against intrusion?
What is an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and do we need one in an e-commerce network?
Do we need a group of network personnel to monitor the e-commerce network for intrusions 24/7?
Will any of this hardware or software facilitate a real-time response to an intrusion?
