Network Security Challenges
Overly permissive access policies introduce risk
VPNs inherently confer significant trust to users by default, potentially exposing corporate networks to risks such as data loss and malicious insider threats.
Sophisticated cyber attacks leave networks vulnerable
With the rising sophistication and frequency of DDoS attacks, ransomware, and other threats, enterprises must adopt proactive mitigation strategies.
Artificial chokepoints cause latency
Conventional approaches to examining traffic and countering attacks frequently lead to undesired performance compromises, causing applications to slow down and negatively impacting the end-user experience.
Unmanaged devices are susceptible to phishing and malware
Within a BYOD setting, employee devices may face the risk of being targeted by malicious code camouflaged as seemingly harmless plugins and software extensions, potentially leading to the infection of other devices on the network.
Security teams have poor visibility into network movement
A plethora of individual products creates challenges for IT teams in effectively monitoring user behavior and responding promptly to evolving threats.
Why Network Security Needed
Network security is crucial for protecting information and ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data within a computer network. Here are six main points highlighting the importance of network security
Confidentiality
Network security safeguards sensitive information from unauthorized access. Confidential data, such as personal details, financial records, and trade secrets, must be protected to prevent unauthorized individuals or entities from gaining access and using the information for malicious purposes.
Integrity
Network security ensures the integrity of data by preventing unauthorized modification or tampering. It ensures that data remains unchanged during transmission and storage, maintaining the accuracy and reliability of information. This is particularly important for critical systems, financial transactions, and sensitive communications.
Availability
Network security measures work to maintain the availability of network resources and services. Downtime due to attacks or disruptions can result in significant financial losses, damage to reputation, and disruption of essential services. Network security helps prevent or mitigate the impact of such incidents.
Authentication
Proper network security includes robust authentication mechanisms to verify the identity of users and devices accessing the network. This helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures that only legitimate users have the appropriate level of access to resources.
Authorization
Network security implements authorization controls to define and enforce the level of access granted to authenticated users. This ensures that individuals or systems can only access the information and resources for which they have explicit permission. Unauthorized access attempts are blocked, reducing the risk of data breaches.
Protection Against Malware and Cyber Threats
Network security is essential for detecting, preventing, and mitigating the impact of malware, viruses, and other cyber threats. Firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and other security measures are deployed to identify and block malicious activities, reducing the risk of data compromise and system breaches.
