Understanding Network Security
Network security involves protocols, tools, and policies that protect data during transmission. With the rise in cyber threats, securing network infrastructure is vital for organizational resilience (Nguyen, 2023).
Core Components
- Firewalls: Control traffic flow and block unauthorized access
- IDS/IPS: Monitor and respond to suspicious network activity
- Network segmentation: Isolate critical systems
- VPNs: Secure remote access to private networks
Emerging Trends
Zero Trust models and AI-driven threat detection are becoming integral to modern cybersecurity strategies.
