1. Research Question 1 (15%):
Can an integrated system with IDS, IPS, Firewall & Honeypot together to improve the real-time system security?
Discuss how and provide one real-world example (e.g., in the context of smart city) with network topology and illustrate the relevant tools/techniques in use. Minimum 5 references are required. (State your own understanding after you have done some research works, cannot use the direct quotation, no more than 600 words)
2. Research Question 2 (10%):
Describe the IDS and Honeypot development history based on the timeline (e.g., in a chronological order in year)? Minimum 5 references are required. (no more than 400 words)
3. Research Question 3 (5%):
Discuss the main differences (minimum 3) between the firewall and IDS?
Using the diagram to illustrate the components for the types of IDS vs firewall. Use
