What is Network Security?

Network Security protects your network and data from breaches, intrusions
and other threats. This is a vast and overarching term that describes
hardware and software solutions as well as processes or rules and
configurations relating to network use, accessibility, and overall threat
protection.

Network Security involves access control, virus and antivirus software,


application security, network analytics, types of network-related security
(endpoint, web, wireless), firewalls, VPN encryption and more.

Benefits of Network Security
Network Security is vital in protecting client data and information, keeping
shared data secure and ensuring reliable access and network performance as
well as protection from cyber threats. A well designed network security
solution reduces overhead expenses and safeguards organizations from costly
losses that occur from a data breach or other security incident. Ensuring
legitimate access to systems, applications and data enables business
operations and delivery of services and products to customers.

Types of Network Security
Protections
Firewall
Firewalls control incoming and outgoing traffic on networks, with
predetermined security rules. Firewalls keep out unfriendly traffic and is a
necessary part of daily computing. Network Security relies heavily on Firewalls,
and especially Next Generation Firewalls, which focus on blocking malware and
application-layer attacks.

Network Segmentation
Network segmentation defines boundaries between network segments where
assets within the group have a common function, risk or role within an
organization. For instance, the perimeter gateway segments a company
network from the Internet. Potential threats outside the network are prevented,
ensuring that an organization’s sensitive data remains inside. Organizations
can go further by defining additional internal boundaries within their network,
which can provide improved security and access control.

What is Access Control?


Access control defines the people or groups and the devices that have access to
network applications and systems thereby denying unsanctioned access, and
maybe threats. Integrations with Identity and Access Management (IAM)
products can strongly identify the user and Role-based Access Control (RBAC)
policies ensure the person and device are authorized access to the asset.

Zero Trust

Remote Access VPN


Remote access VPN provides remote and secure access to a company network
to individual hosts or clients, such as telecommuters, mobile users, and

Explore our developer-friendly HTML to PDF API Printed using PDFCrowd HTML to PDF
extranet consumers. Each host typically has VPN client software loaded or uses
a web-based client. Privacy and integrity of sensitive information is ensured
through multi-factor authentication, endpoint compliance scanning, and
encryption of all transmitted data.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)


The zero trust security model states that a user should only have the access
and permissions that they require to fulfill their role. This is a very different
approach from that provided by traditional security solutions, like VPNs, that
grant a user full access to the target network. Zero trust network access
(ZTNA) also known as software-defined perimeter (SDP) solutions permits
granular access to an organization’s applications from users who require that
access to perform their duties.

Email Security
Email security refers to any processes, products, and services designed to
protect your email accounts and email content safe from external threats. Most
email service providers have built-in email security features designed to keep
you secure, but these may not be enough to stop cybercriminals from accessing
your information.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)


Data loss prevention (DLP) is a cybersecurity methodology that combines
technology and best practices to prevent the exposure of sensitive information
outside of an organization, especially regulated data such as personally
identifiable information (PII) and compliance related data: HIPAA, SOX, PCI
DSS, etc.

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)


IPS technologies can detect or prevent network security attacks such as brute
force attacks, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and exploits of known
vulnerabilities. A vulnerability is a weakness for instance in a software system
and an exploit is an attack that leverages that vulnerability to gain control of

that system. When an exploit is announced, there is often a window of
opportunity for attackers to exploit that vulnerability before the security patch
is applied. An Intrusion Prevention System can be used in these cases to
quickly block these attacks.

Sandboxing
Sandboxing is a cybersecurity practice where you run code or open files in a
safe, isolated environment on a host machine that mimics end-user operating
environments. Sandboxing observes the files or code as they are opened and
looks for malicious behavior to prevent threats from getting on the network.
For example malware in files such as PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel and
PowerPoint can be safely detected and blocked before the files reach an
unsuspecting end user.

Hyperscale Network Security


Hyperscale is the ability of an architecture to scale appropriately, as increased
demand is added to the system. This solution includes rapid deployment and
scaling up or down to meet changes in network security demands. By tightly
integrating networking and compute resources in a software-defined system, it
is possible to fully utilize all hardware resources available in a clustering
solution.

Cloud Network Security


Applications and workloads are no longer exclusively hosted on-premises in a
local data center. Protecting the modern data center requires greater flexibility
and innovation to keep pace with the migration of application workloads to the
cloud. Software-defined Networking (SDN) and Software-defined Wide Area
Network (SD-WAN) solutions enable network security solutions in private,
public, hybrid and cloud-hosted Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) deployments.

Robust Network Security Will Protect
Against
Virus: A virus is a malicious, downloadable file that can lay dormant that
replicates itself by changing other computer programs with its own code.
Once it spreads those files are infected and can spread from one computer to
another, and/or corrupt or destroy network data.

Worms: Can slow down computer networks by eating up bandwidth as well as


the slow the efficiency of your computer to process data. A worm is a
standalone malware that can propagate and work independently of other
files, where a virus needs a host program to spread.

Trojan: A trojan is a backdoor program that creates an entryway for malicious


users to access the computer system by using what looks like a real
program, but quickly turns out to be harmful. A trojan virus can delete files,
activate other malware hidden on your computer network, such as a virus
and steal valuable data.

Spyware: Much like its name, spyware is a computer virus that gathers
information about a person or organization without their express knowledge
and may send the information gathered to a third party without the
consumer’s consent.

Adware: Can redirect your search requests to advertising websites and


collect marketing data about you in the process so that customized
advertisements will be displayed based on your search and buying history.

Ransomware: This is a type of trojan cyberware that is designed to gain


money from the person or organization’s computer on which it is installed by
encrypting data so that it is unusable, blocking access to the user’s system.
