Week 3 Discussion

It is time to discuss perimeter defenses. What did you learn about Firewalls or VPNs? Sharing will help solidify your knowledge and introduce you to other perspectives.

• In your own words, write 1–2 paragraphs that demonstrate your understanding of why a business would want to use a firewall or a VPN.
• Make sure you discuss how either of these technologies help assure the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of company data.
• Your submission should be at least 150 words and not include any copied or quoted material.
• Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.
  • Find at least one classmate whose discussion post was on the topic you did not choose. Discuss what in their post helped you understand the subject a little bit better. Make sure you are adding to the understanding of the concept and helping to develop the conversation.
