Creation of a security solution selection matrix for WLAN implementations using real options

The purpose of this project was to create a Security Solution Selection Matrix for WLAN implementations using Luehrman's Real Options methodology. The methodology was used to evaluate the effectiveness of WLAN security techniques for the following environments: Small Office Home Office (SOHO)/Home, Corporate, and Public Access. The matrix allowed for the security techniques to be compared to one another so that a WLAN user or network administrator could select the appropriate technique, or a combination of techniques, to implement based on the individual's environment. Through this project a method is developed for applying Real Options to a technologically-associated, assessment paradigm. This poster presents this approach of employing Real Options for a technologically-associated, assessment paradigm.
