Network security is the process of safeguarding your data from unauthorized entry through your computer networks. Network security includes software and hardware technologies and ensures your security from a variety of threats. It acts as a wall between your network and malicious activity and as an organization, you want to protect your network so you can constantly deliver services to meet the demands of your employees and customers. Generally, protecting your reputation as a business.
Types of Network Security:
Firewall acts as a barrier between your trusted internal network and external network. This can be software, hardware, or both.
Email Security prevents any incoming attacks to prevent loss of sensitive data. Emails are among the most common gateways for a security breach.
Anti-virus and anti-malware software programs scan malware upon entry, monitor files for anomalies, and remove it to fix any damage.
Application Security patches vulnerabilities in the applications you use and prevents any breach. The applications you use to run your business might contain vulnerabilities that can expose and infiltrate your network.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) prevents users from sharing, uploading, or forwarding critical information in a risky manner. As business owners, you want to ensure your staff doesnt send sensitive information outside of your network.
