There are three\u2064 key areas you need to\u200c look at when securing your network\u2064 with security controls: access control, detection, \u2063and response. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Access Control<\/strong><br \/>\nAccess control is the primary \u2062defense against unauthorized access. It&#8217;s important to select an authentication method that correctly balances the strength of the security measures with the \u2064efficiency\u200b of user \u200bexperience. \u2064Examples\u200d of \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/logmeonce.com\/enterprise-password-management\/\">access control \u200dmethods\u200c include password protection<\/a>, two-factor \u2063authentication,\u2064 biometric\u200d authentication, and \u2062one-time\u200d passwords.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Detection<\/strong><br \/>\nDetecting potential threats is essential \u200dto maintaining a secure\u2063 network. It involves \u200bproactively monitoring the network and data for\u200c suspicious \u200bactivities and then\u2062 responding to any potential threats. Examples of detection methods include network scanners,\u2062 activity monitoring\u2062 software, and antivirus\u200d software.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Response<\/strong><br \/>\nThe response stage of the security process \u2063is crucial for stopping any malicious activities in progress.\u2063 It involves conducting vulnerability assessments and penetration \u200btesting to help\u200c detect\u2064 weaknesses in the system. Additionally,\u200d security \u2063software should \u2063be updated regularly to \u200dhelp \u2064protect against the newest threats and\u2064 hacks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-understanding-network-security-controls\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Understanding_Network%E2%81%A3_Security_Controls\"><\/span>2. Understanding Network\u2063 Security Controls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Network security\u200c controls are the measures implemented to protect network environments from threats and vulnerabilities. There are various different types of controls\u200c available to ensure \u200dnetworks \u2062remain secure. By having an\u2063 understanding \u200cof the different controls, \u200dcompanies can build\u2062 a strong security framework\u2062 and better protect their\u200c data.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Firewalls<\/b> &#8211; Firewalls are one of the most popular \u2062network security\u2063 controls. They inspect \u2062incoming and outgoing traffic\u200c based \u2062on rules \u200cdefined by the\u2062 organization. Firewalls generally act as a barrier between trusted \u2063internal networks \u200dand untrusted external networks &#8211; like\u200b the internet.<\/li>\n<li><b>Encryption<\/b> &#8211; Encryption is used to turn \u2064readable\u2063 data into unreadable cipher\u200d text \u200d-\u2062 which\u2062 is then\u2064 only readable with\u200b an \u200bencryption \u200bkey. Any data\u200d flowing through the network is\u2063 vulnerable to snooping, making encryption essential to protect confidential data. Companies often use encryption to protect data when it is stored or transferred.<\/li>\n<li><b>Access\u200b Control<\/b> &#8211; Access\u2062 control is the process of \u200drestricting access \u200bto resources based on user authentication. This \u2063includes limiting \u2063access\u200b to certain \u200careas of the network \u200bor accessing \u2062certain data on the \u200bnetwork.\u2062 This is\u2063 a way \u2063of\u200c controlling who \u2064can \u2064access\u2063 sensitive\u200c information on the network.<\/li>\n<li><b>Intrusion Detection\u2063 &#038; Prevention<\/b> &#8211; Intrusion\u2063 detection and prevention systems are used \u2063to detect \u200dmalicious\u200b activity on the network, \u2064such as hacking \u200battempts and malware infections.

It also requires \u2063organizations \u2064to establish user access control policies, user training, and regular\u2063 review of access controls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data encryption:<\/strong> \u2064 Sensitive data must be \u200ckept safe from \u2064unauthorized access.
