5 Types of Network Security and How They Protect Your Data
- Network security practices and software are used to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility of a company’s digital assets.
- Firewalls monitor and control incoming and outgoing traffic based on a set of predefined rules, ensuring that only legitimate requests are processed.
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) identifies suspicious traffic and takes immediate action to block or mitigate risks, preventing a wide range of threats such as malware and brute force attacks.
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP) prevents sensitive organizational data from being lost, leaked, or accessed by unauthorized users, and secures data both in transit and at rest.
- Network Access Control (NAC) regulates where the data or applications can be reached, ensuring that only authorized users can access organizational data on compliant devices.
