NETWORK & DATA SECURITY

security consists of the policies and practices adopted to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, which is controlled by the network administrator. Users choose or are assigned an ID and password or other authenticating information that allows them access to information and programs within their authority. Network security covers a variety of computer networks, both public and private, that are used in everyday jobs; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access. Network security is involved in organizations, enterprises, and other types of institutions. It does as its title explains: it secures the network, as well as protecting and overseeing operations being done. The most common and simple way of protecting a network resource is by assigning it a unique name and a corresponding password.

TYPES OF NETWORK SECURITY

  • 1.Antivirus and Antimalware Software
  • 2.Application Security
  • 3.Behavioral Analytics
  • 4.Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
  • 5.Email Security
  • 6.Firewalls
  • 7.Mobile Device Security
  • 8.Network Segmentation
  • 9.Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
  • 10.Virtual Private Network (VPN)
  • 11.Endpoint Security
  • 12.Network Access Control (NAC)

Antivirus and Antimalware Software

This software is used for protecting against malware, which includes spyware, ransomware, Trojans, worms, and viruses. Malware can also become very dangerous as it can infect a network and then remain calm for days or even weeks. This software handles this threat by scanning for malware entry and regularly tracks files afterward in order to detect anomalies, remove malware, and fix damage.

Antimalware software protects against infections caused by many types of malware, including all types of viruses, as well as rootkits, ransomware and spyware. Antimalware software can be installed on an individual computing device, gateway server or dedicated network appliance. It can also be purchased as a cloud service -- such as McAfee's CloudAV product -- or be embedded in a computing device's firmware.

Firewalls

Firewalls place a barrier between your trusted internal network and untrusted outside networks, like the Internet. A set of defined rules are employed to block or allow traffic. A firewall can be software, hardware, or both. The free firewall efficiently manages traffic on your PC, monitors in/out connections, and secures all connections when you are online.

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): An IPS is a network security capable of scanning network traffic in order to actively block attacks. The IPS Setting interface permits the administrator to configure the ruleset updates for Snort. It is possible to schedule the ruleset updates allowing them to automatically run at particular intervals and these updates can be run manually on demand.

Endpoint Security

Endpoint Security, also known Network Protection or Network Security, is a methodology used for protecting corporate networks when accessed through remote devices such as laptops or several other wireless devices and mobile devices. For instance, Comodo Advanced Endpoint Protection software presents seven layers of defense that include viruscope, file reputation, auto-sandbox, host intrusion prevention, web URL filtering, firewall, and antivirus software. All this is offered under a single offering in order to protect them from both unknown and known threats.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

A VPN is another type of network security capable of encrypting the connection from an endpoint to a network, mostly over the Internet. A remote-access VPN typically uses IPsec or Secure Sockets Layer in order to authenticate the communication between network and device.

VPN stands for virtual private network. A virtual private network (VPN) is a technology that creates a safe and encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the internet. Virtual Private network is a way to extend a private network using a public network such as internet. The name only suggests that it is Virtual “private network” i.e. user can be the part of local network sitting at a remote location. It makes use of tunneling protocols to establish a secure connection.

Email Security

Email gateways are considered to be the number one threat vector for a security breach. Attackers use social engineering tactics and personal information in order to build refined phishing campaigns to deceive recipients and then send them to sites serving up malware. An email security application is capable of blocking incoming attacks and controlling outbound messages in order to prevent the loss of sensitive data.
