Instructions
There are a lot of different technologies out there and deciding which is right for your organization can take a lot of research. One of the most basic pieces of technology out there is a firewall. Modern “Next-Generation” enterprise-grade firewalls integrate many of the technologies discussed in this week’s reading providing functionality ranging from basic stateful firewall capabilities, to intrusion detection/prevention, VPNs, and more. Using the web, journals, library, or other resources, identify three well-known manufacturers of enterprise firewalls. Review the capabilities of each manufacturer’s main firewall product.
In at least 550 words, prepare a memo comparing the three options based on the various features available, cost information (if you can find it), and any differentiating qualities. Based on the information you have available, note which one you would recommend.
HINT: Check out the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls (attached). Be sure to look at the manufacturer’s website as well
