Network Security

Network security professionals know that there is no single solution that will by itself protect an enterprise network. There are simply too many threats and too many angles of attack. Technology on enterprise networks evolves so quickly that it is nearly impossible to keep up with the ever changing threat landscape. For this reason, network breaches and security incidents are inevitable and enterprises need to be prepared with a comprehensive incident response and recovery plan.

Best practices in network security involve pairing diverse, layered defenses with the ability to rapidly react, respond and recover when the inevitable security incident occurs. Defenses include the usual: firewalls, anti-virus, patch management, intrusion detection, logging for forensics and policy enforcement. These defenses need to be deployed throughout the enterprise, not just the perimeter as is still common in many networks.  Incident response involves reacting, responding and recovering from security incidents.
