Computer Network Security


Network Securities

Network Security is a topic of broad interest these days. With the development of huge networks and the need to share data and resources globally, Network Security is becoming more of an issue with every passing day. The need to secure corporate networks from unauthorized access is the need of time. Network Security generally means and consists of each and all measures taken by Network Administrator to protect their network.

There are several things that can fall under this category. A good and secure Network will not only load the management balance but will also provide several abstraction layers to reach actual data.

These layers consist of both hardware and software. These layers include but are not limited to Secure Gateway, Hardware Firewall, Proxy, Antivirus and Authentication System. When effectively applied in series, these layers of security prevent any malware, virus, or hacker will not be able to compromise the system security.

An effective Network Security infrastructure will not only eliminate the possibility of any outside threat to the system but will also deal with the internal organizational threats. Internal threats normally arise due to permission breaches in the network.
The rights and permissions top users in the internal network should be properly configured and maintained by Network Administrator. Administrator access should be given to Network Administrators and their assistants only.

A hardware firewall is used to protect from malicious code attacks and hackers from external networks. Different vendors like Cisco, Netware, Entrasys, 3Com and others provide hardware firewalls in the network. There are many spy wares and Antivirus programs available in the market. Some of them are Symantec, MacAfee and AVG.  You can use any of then to secure your network from viruses and spy wares. The major issue that arises when implementing the security infrastructure is of Employee management. The website access to employees and users must be restricted to specific websites and services so that the network stays clean. 

A secure network has all the features of security as well as flexibility and management. When applying security scheme and principles, website and data access must be restricted so that users can only access the data and resources required by them. The more the security layers, the more secure the network would be. Proper Authentication System, Firewall with multiple point access, fast security updates, Antivirus and Anti-Ad ware will help keep the system smooth and running at all times.
