Part A ( 1300 words) ** 6 reference within 5 years google scholar) ** need intext reference

Scenario:

In your class, the teaching about Firewall and its working procedures. Now, assume that you have joined the

industry as a network security expert after completing this unit. You need to expand your knowledge by

upskilling and researching related content/materials from online and other relevant sources.

TaskA.1:(Critical Analysis) ** please draft or draw a diagram to answer part of your answer

In that role, your manager asked you to develop a plan for implementing and configuring "a

virtual firewall for the public cloud". As a part of this plan, you need to write a report where you will explore

the benefits of adopting virtual firewall for cloud computing, virtual firewall types, horizon scanning of this

technology considering industry standard tools and present a case study describing the merits and/or

weaknesses, other aspects (if you want to add any).

TaskA.2: (Knowledge Reflection)

In that role, you have also heard that your business is interested about implementing the

emerging "zero trust (ZTA) security architecture (https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/security/business/zero-

trust)". While you are giving a plan on virtual firewall implementation for your business, some people think

that ZTA and Firewalls cannot work together whereas others think that they are complementary! How you will

put your logic/argument and explanation from a security expert's point of view to provide "critical" insights

with proper reasoning and logics and address this issue.

Part B (1300 words)** 6 reference within 5 years(google scholar)** need intext reference

Scenario:

In your class, the teaching you about IDS and loT Networks, Protocols, etc., assume that you have joined a

consultancy firm as a security architect after completing this unit. You need to expand your knowledge by

upskilling and researching related content/materials from online and other relevant sources.

Task B.1: (Critical Analysis) **please draft or draw a diagram to answer part of your answer

In that role, your manager asked you to develop a white paper explaining the concept "Intrusion Detection

System for Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) within Smart Grid". The white paper will inform readers concisely

about your proposed concept and present your philosophy on the matter. The report will include:

A proposed architecture for IDS considering an IoT environment within smart grid. Illustrate the architecture

and its different component, how the data flow will occur, what features are used for IDS, How IDS will

safeguard the network, other security aspects.

Task B.2: (Knowledge Reflection)

Suppose as a security architect, you are heavily dealing with IDS for Internet networks. However, the concept

of the convergence of information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT) is new to you (and of course

to many of your colleagues). However, your manager wants you to cover why IDS for Smart Grid-IoT systems

is different compared to typical network/nand possible solu
