NETWORK SECURITY AS A PROCESS
Network security is a process. It consists of a set of rules and procedures that aim at protecting the hardware and software assets of an individual as well as the data of a
company. In network security there are many misconceptions and we want to make clear the following:
- Network security is more important than computer security, because network security stops the malware at the gateway, before that infections affect our computers;
- Network security is intangible, since it operates in the network and it does not materialize in a piece of hardware: it's an almost invisible procedure that rules how the
inbound an outbound traffic flows within our network;
- For its invisibility, people still believe that computers are the only thing to protect, leaving the network exposed to attacks;
- As already mentioned in this website, an healthy network is more important than having an healthy computer.For example, If the subscription to our antivirus terminates, and
in that moment we are unable to renew it or to install a new antivirus, we do not have to be afraid of viruses if our network and our firewall are properly configured.
- All of us need to understand that certified technicians and consultants can help preventing network and computer infections instead of fixing infected computers.
- Computers and networks need a regular maintenance: if we change the oil and the filters of our cars, we have to service our computers as well.
- It's hard to believe that the routers we use every day have their own operating system,altough they cannot be defined as "computers", isnt' it?
Malware is an invisible threat that can harm our computer productivity and the assets of a company. Our company is able to customize network security solutions for everybody,
because we believe that security is not expensive at all.
