Eagle Trail Real Estate is a fictional statewide residential and commercial real estate company. Because the company was the victim of several recent attacks, Eagle Trail wants to completely change its network infrastructure.

Currently the company has a small IT staff, so they have contracted with you to make recommendations and install the new equipment. First, however, they have asked you to give a presentation to their executive staff about network security.

1. Create a PowerPoint presentation for the executive staff about network security. Include what it is, why it is important, and how it can be achieved using network devices, technologies, and design elements. Because the staff does not have an IT background, the presentation cannot be too technical in nature. Your presentation should contain at least 10 slides, speaker notes, formatting and graphics.

2. Eagle Trail is debating if they should use UTM network security appliances or separate devices (firewall, Internet content filters, NIDS, etc.). Because they appreciated your first presentation, they want your opinion on this subject. Create a memo addressed to the Eagle Trail CEO that outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and gives your recommendation.
