Network Security<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAfter you have your physical security in place, securing your network should come next. There are several factors that add to the security of your network. These should include:<\/p>\n
Access Control<\/strong> \u2013 Limiting the number of users who have access to your network helps prevent potential data breaches. You can enforce security policies by giving them only limited access and control.<\/p>\nAntimalware Software<\/strong> \u2013 When installing an anti-malware program, opt for one that has the ability to scan malware upon entry, track infected files, eliminate malware and fix the damage.<\/p>\nApplication Security \u2013 <\/strong>The applications that you use to run your business may be vulnerable to hackers. Counter these possible attacks with a security that covers your hardware, software and processes as well.<\/p>\nData loss prevention<\/strong> \u2013 A DLP put up a barrier that prevents users from uploading, forwarding and printing sensitive information in an unsafe manner.<\/p>\nFirewalls<\/strong> – A firewall is another barrier that uses a set of defined rules to keep your trusted internal network from malicious networks. It can be hardware, software or both.<\/p>\nVPN<\/strong> \u2013 a virtual private network (VPN)\u00a0 is designed to protect the data you receive or send over the Internet. It also allows you to browse the web anonymously and bypass restrictions as well.<\/p>\n\n- Systems Security<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The last line of defense, a system security is designed to secure sensitive data and implement security measures across various devices and systems. It works by protecting information from theft, corruption and any other damage, while keeping it available to those who have access to it. This layer should include the employment of security countermeasures such as data encryption and passwords.<\/p>\n
Encryption<\/strong> \u2013 an encryption is one way to keep files safe when being transferred over the Internet. It works by using an encryption key to make the message unreadable and a secret decryption key to decipher the message.<\/p>\nIt is important to note that all these play a crucial role in your data security.
