Abstract

Abstract: Information is the most critical asset of modern-day organisations. Organisations use various information technology tools, products, and solutions to store the information. Because of its importance to organisations, information is protected using various information protection tools, that would include computer or network hardware and software. This article aims to give the organisations and their Chief Information Security officers a template for technical evaluation of the various network security solutions with Security effectiveness as a key element in their decision making.

Key words: network security, effective network security, network security components, template for network security evaluation, network security evaluation by CISOs
