Question (3):
Assume that organization C fears from denial of service attack. Attack duration is expected to last 10
hours on a yearly basis during which:
1- Additional laptop purchased for secretary work 25000 on a 5 year service life
2- Programmer’s additional hourly work 25 per hour. The company has 15 programmers.
3- Indirect damage for company repetition 30000
4- 20 long distance faxes will be sent costing 20 per fax
If the probability of the attack is 10% and a friend suggested replacing the firewall with a stronger one
that cost 15000 and its cost can be spread over 3 years. Do you accept the offer or not.
Good Luck
