Research and select firewalls for the Corporation Techs network.

Describe each firewall, why you selected it, and where it should be placed for maximum effectiveness.

Address network, server, and workstation firewalls.

Describe a plan for creating a DMZ, and explain how it makes the network more secure.

Research network authentication and create a high-level plan for secure authentication to internal network resources.

Create a draft report detailing all information as supportive documentation.

Cite sources, where appropriate.
