Network Security
Access Control: Implementing mechanisms to control who can access the network resources, ensuring that only authorized users and devices are allowed entry.
Authentication and Authorization: Verifying the identity of users and devices attempting to access the network and granting appropriate permissions based on their credentials and roles.
Data Confidentiality: Encrypting sensitive data to prevent unauthorized parties from intercepting and deciphering information as it travels across the network.
Integrity: Ensuring that data remains accurate and unaltered during transmission and storage, safeguarding against unauthorized modifications or tampering.
Availability: Protecting the network against disruptions and ensuring that resources and services are consistently accessible to authorized users.
Firewall and Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS): Deploying security appliances and software to monitor and filter network traffic, identifying and mitigating potential threats such as malware, unauthorized access attempts, and suspicious activities.
Vulnerability Management: Regularly assessing and addressing weaknesses in network infrastructure, applications, and configurations to reduce the risk of exploitation by malicious actors.
Security Policies and Procedures: Establishing guidelines, rules, and protocols governing network security practices, including user responsibilities, incident response protocols, and compliance requirements.
Network Segmentation: Dividing the network into smaller, isolated segments to contain and limit the impact of security incidents and unauthorized access attempts.
Monitoring and Logging: Continuously monitoring network activity, logging events, and analyzing data to detect anomalies, identify potential security incidents, and facilitate forensic investigations.
