Network Security

What Is Network Security?

Network security refers to the technologies, policies, people, and procedures that defend any communication infrastructure from cyberattacks, unauthorized access, and data loss. In addition to the network itself, they also secure traffic and network-accessible assets at both the network edge and inside the perimeter.

Enterprises have much to gain by strengthening their network protections:

  • Reduced cyber risk: Strong, robust security measures help ensure your data always stays protected.
  • Enhanced data privacy: Eliminating threat vectors ensures sensitive information is shielded from unauthorized access while traversing the network, thereby safeguarding customer data, and maintaining compliance.
  • Improved business continuity: Protected networks are more resilient against potential disruptions and experience minimal downtime, leading to optimal productivity.
  • Better network performance: Security prevents bad actors from disabling the network, ensuring critical resources are always readily available.
