What is Network Security?
Network security is the policies and practices used to monitor and prevent unauthorized access and misuse of a computer network and network-accessible resources. If the network and its traffic is the highway by which we gather and disseminate information – it is also the conduit by which threats will traverse. A stable and efficient network security system is essential in order to protect data and reduce risk. Increasing and improving network visibility, creating access control & policies and segmenting the network can reduce the attack surface and keep your most critical assets safe.
