Discussion Post 3

Security is just one of the trade-offs that organizations must consider when designing their network infrastructure. This is particularly true in an organization like the one you explored in the Unit 2 assignment. That network included the complexity of having a presence in a number of countries where the rules, regulations, laws, and capabilities may differ from those in the United States. That network had an additional level of complexity in that it required both private internal and public wireless capabilities in a large number of locations.

Discuss what factors go into deciding what makes up the optimal architecture from the perspective of security, cost, complexity, maintenance capability, and regulatory requirements. Include in the discussion how you would prioritize those factors in terms of importance. Provide support for your position.
