Firewalls
Firewalls regulate incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security criteria. Firewalls prevent unwelcome traffic and are required for everyday computing. Firewalls (and notably Next-Generation Firewalls which concentrate on stopping malware and application-layer assaults), are crucial to network security.
Network Segmentation
Network segmentation specifies the boundaries between network segments whose assets have a similar purpose, risk, or function within an organization. For example, the perimeter gateway separates an organization’s network from the internet. Potential dangers from the outside are thwarted, ensuring a company’s critical data stays inside its network. Organizations can define extra internal borders within their network to strengthen network security and access management.
Access Control
Access control identifies the individuals, organizations, and devices carrying permission to use network applications and systems, limiting unauthorized access and potential dangers. Integrations with Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems can positively identify the user, while Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) rules guarantee the user and their device are permitted access to the asset.
Remote Access VPN
Individual hosts and customers, such as telecommuters, mobile users and extranet consumers, have remote and secure access to a company’s network through a VPN. Typically, each host has VPN client software installed (or utilizes a web-based client). Multi-factor authentication, endpoint compliance screening, and encryption of all transferred data guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of critical information.
Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
According to the zero-trust security paradigm, users should have only the access and permissions necessary for their function. This differs from typical security solutions, such as VPNs, which provide a user with complete access to the target network. Zero-trust network access (ZTNA), also known as “software-defined perimeter” (SDP) solutions, enables granular access to an organization’s applications for users who need it to complete their responsibilities.
Email Security
Email security refers to methods, tools, and services to safeguard email accounts and content from external threats. Most email service providers include email security safeguards meant to protect you; nonetheless, they may not be sufficient to prevent fraudsters from accessing your data.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Data loss prevention (DLP) is a cybersecurity method which combines technology and best practices to prevent the exposure of sensitive information outside an organization, particularly regulated data such as personally identifiable information (PII) and compliance-related data including: HIPAA, SOX, PCI DSS, etc.
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)
IPS technology can identify and block network security threats such as brute-force attacks, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and known vulnerabilities. A vulnerability is a flaw in a system, such as software, and an exploit is an assault which takes advantage of that vulnerability to obtain control of the system. When an exploit is revealed, there is often a window for attackers to exploit the vulnerability before the security fix is implemented. An Intrusion Prevention System can be employed in these instances to thwart these attempts swiftly.
Sandboxing
Sandboxing is a cybersecurity technique involving executing code and opening files in a secure, isolated environment on a host system which resembles end-user operating environments. As files or code are opened, sandboxing monitors for harmful activity to prevent threats from entering the network. For instance, malware in PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can be securely recognized and prevented before they reach an unwary end user.
Hyperscale Network Security
Hyperscale is the capability of architecture to scale proportionally as system demand increases. This solution enables quick deployment and scalability to accommodate fluctuating network security requirements. Closely integrating networking and computation resources in a software-defined system may use all available hardware resources in a clustering solution.
Cloud Network Security
No longer are applications and workloads housed only in a regional data center on-premises. The contemporary data center must be protected with increased flexibility and creativity so as to keep up with the shift of application workloads to the cloud. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions empower private, public, hybrid, and cloud-hosted Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) deployments with network security solutions.
