Abstract

Firewall is protection of the network, and system from being hacked, or attacked by the authorized person or company for purpose of using the information on the servers. Many companies are under cyber-attack, and success probability of an attack is 1.2. Similarly, an average loss of an attack is $130,000. So, it is concern for many companies and government organizations to protect their systems, and network from the cyber-attack while savings and avoiding overinvestment. So, the first firewall option is attractive as compared to second alternative option given that option one has more savings, and it is more reliable, and effective since second option would be overinvestment. So, first option is effective and efficient that gives savings, and provides fastest and most reliable firewall. Furthermore, it is can be determined that Network security product is effective for the company given that it provides most reliable security services for prevention and cyber-attacks, and protects systems, networks from unauthorized access.
