There are several security frameworks and architectures available to use as templates for creating a secure environment. These include ISO, NIST, COBIT, ETSI, RFC, and ISA/IEC. Select three security frameworks/architectures and use the Internet to research each of them. How are they predominately used? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? Are they general or specific? What is a setting (small business, school, home office, etc.) that you would recommend for each of these?

Lastly, use the Internet to identify three network firewalls, and create a chart that compares their features. Note if they are rule-based or application-aware, perform stateless or stateful packet filtering, what additional features they include (IDS, content filtering, etc.), their costs, etc. Which would you recommend? Why? Write a one-page paper on your comparison and analysis.
