Depending on the it security area chosen the assessment


Choosing the correct security solutions is of utmost importance in today's organizations. Consider an area of information technology (IT) security, such as, network security, e-mail security, database security and so on. Identify and research three different commercial (you may also consider solutions/products that are available with a "public" license) IT security solutions/products for the chosen security area. The three products must target the same security issues. [Note: Instead of IT security specific products such as antivirus software etc. you may also choose to research the security features of products such as database management systems, operating systems and so on.] 
Prepare a report providing categorical feature comparison for the three products in the chosen category and make recommendations about the products to assist purchasing decision. Your report may include the following sections:

  • Executive overview.
  • Introduction.
  • Product description.
  • Detailed feature comparison.
  • Conclusions and recommendations.
  • Reference list
  • Appendices (if any)
