Threats and vulnerabilities associated with two operating systems
Windows OS
· Zero day exploits have been patched with the current version of the windows that become more vulnerable (Stephanow, & Khajehmoogahi, 2017). This exploits the patch in the current version of the legacy version with the vulnerability that is exposed.
· Fake virus warnings on the windows system can appear and there is no way for detecting the virus on the system while visiting the website. 
Linux OS
· Application stack vulnerabilities are the reason behind several breaches and this result in exploitation of vulnerabilities (Stephanow, & Khajehmoogahi, 2017). This is the common initial entry point for various hackers that allow the advantage of flaw in internet-facing workloads. 
· Misconfiguration can be common and it is the critical security concern. The misconfiguration over the new environment can create the security concern for cloud, server less and containers. 
Anti-malware solution for the organization 
	Norton security solution can help in providing the anti-malware solution for the organization. It will help in providing the solution for offering a broader protection of the business by monitoring the data that are transferred over the network for a variety of potential threats. It will help in removing and detecting the threat for protecting the complete organization. This tool can help the organization in detecting the threat on a single machine. This will help in detecting and helping the computer security professionally for eradicating and blocking malware by the use of active approach for malware analysis (Marufuzzaman et al. 2019). The detection works by the identification of malicious software for examining. Windows OS can support Norton security solutions and this will help in organization in detecting malware. The cost of implementation for multiple systems can be upto $105. The software supports Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows 8/8.1 and Microsoft Windows 10. 1 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM and 300 MB of available hard disk is required for installation. 
Intrusion detection system (IDS) solution for the organization
Network-Based Intrusion Detection System is the suitable solution for the organization. This will help the system in analysis and examination of network traffic. It includes a rule-based analysis engine for customization of own rules. This provides the ability for the user community to make initial NIDS implementations.
