Network Security – Comms-care

Network security protects IT infrastructure by managing unauthorised access and targeting threats to prevent them from entering the network.

The way people work today is vastly different from just a few years ago. As the network has evolved, it has essentially become ‘borderless’ due to the increase in wireless technology adoption, cloud adoption, mobile and remote working and geographically dispersed teams.

It’s no longer enough to rely on a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Users require on-demand access to the corporate network while meeting the business imperative of ensuring the highest possible levels of security and control.

Network Security for the Modern Workforce

There are a number of attack vectors to be aware of when securing network infrastructure:

Physical and wireless access when at corporate locations including:

Headquarters

Branch offices

Retail outlets

Warehouses

Vehicles

VPN access for remote workers

Mobile devices

Connections to third party companies

Perimeter security

Cloud environment

Security must be incorporated into all layers and entry points to the network. We recommend one or more of the below technical and logical controls to protect assets:

Network Firewalls

Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IPS)

Content filtering including malware protection

Network Access Control (NAC)

Physical controls (door entry, CCTV)

Vulnerability assessments and proactive posture testing

Wireless security

VPN technologies (encryption)

Transform security deployments into robust solutions designed for today’s risk environment
