Network Security
What is network security?
Network security deals with protecting the equipment and information within an organization from intrusive or harmful attacks or misuse by both external and internal forces. Vaiz Enterprises can provide network security to an organization through a number of security measures. These measures are achieved through both hardware and software methods, and sometimes both. These measures can include:
Firewalls, which inspect all data entering and leaving your network
Anti-virus hardware and software, which examines your equipment looking for harmful programs and unauthorized access.
Anomaly monitoring, which watches your network for unusual usage patterns which could indicate misuse of some kind
Encrypted data transfers, where information which travels from one area of your network to another is transformed to protect it from interception and use by parties other than those for which it is intended.
Virtual Private Networks, where information on your network can be accessed from a location on the internet by establishing a secure ‘tunnel’ using specialized encryption. This allows access to files and e-mail by authorized persons who are located outside your organization’s physical location – such as a salesman on a business trip.
Why do I need network security?
Network security is necessary for the same reasons that an organization needs to lock its doors outside of business hours or post security guards to patrol a building. Primarily, network security is necessary to prevent theft. Instead of protecting physical assets, however, network security primarily serves to protect information. Information related to your organization’s finances, human resources, and corporate strategies (to name only a few) need to be protected from attacks and misuse. Attacks can come from outside your organization against your corporate website or network gateways. Attacks and misuse can also come from within your organization. Network vulnerabilities can be manipulated by actions as innocent as employees sharing a humorous website or video. Threats against today’s digital networks are constantly changing and evolving.
In addition, network security is necessary to address simple issues within an organization which do not involve malicious intent whatsoever. Through adequate network monitoring it is possible to determine how much network usage is non-work-related and even control which websites can and cannot be accessed. This can be vital for ensuring that company time and resources are not being wasted on distractions and unauthorized personal use. Through adequate network monitoring and filtering, distractions can be kept to a minimum, productivity is protected and efficiency goes up – all things which contribute to your bottom line.
