Given the new situation the now merged company$$s management team would like to bolster their overall security posture. Provide an itemised description of changes or additions to the network that would improve the security posture of the company. For each proposed change or addition, describe what benefits, and detriments, would the change have on the performance, operation, and security of the network. Options that you may consider include, but are not limited to$,$ Firewalls, NAT, IDS$/$IPS$,$ authentication, services, WiFi placement, additional servers, or consolidated servers.

Remember that your role is as a consultant, and that you have been hired by the company to perform a security analysis. Your report should include not only existing controls, but also controls for those risks you have identified that currently have no mitigation. This means that you are simply making a proposal, of what you think that your client should do$.$ Of course, your client can choose not to implement your proposed changes but that isn't really the point here. What you need to do is simply identify what are the risks and the most appropriate controls to mitigate those risks.
