All organizations need a comprehensive strategy to protect their\u200b data and\u200d systems from\u2062 malicious threats. Here are the four basic \u200dsteps organizations must take\u2063 to ensure their networks remain secure:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Analyze\u200b your network:\u2064 The first \u2063step in network\u2063 security management is to assess the \u200ccurrent \u2064environment.Consider the type of user accounts within the system, the \u200dsecurity\u200c systems \u2062that are implemented,\u200c and\u200d the\u200b infrastructure \u2064design.\u2064 This helps\u200d to identify\u200b potential vulnerabilities, so you\u200b can protect them \u2064accordingly.<\/li>\n<li>Implement a\u200d firewall: Firewalls create \u2063a barrier between internal\u2063 networks and\u2064 the external world. These\u200c are\u200d designed to block malicious \u200dtraffic and to ensure\u200b only approved traffic moves through the network. Configuring your\u2063 firewall to provide the appropriate level of protection\u200c is essential.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor network activity: Network \u2063activity\u200b must\u2063 be\u2064 monitored to detect any\u2064 unusual or\u200d suspicious activities.Automated monitoring\u200d is becoming increasingly popular as it provides \u2062continuous data analysis of system performance \u2063and security. Automation makes it easier to spot patterns\u2062 of malicious activities.<\/li>\n<li>Update software \u200cregularly: Security patches should be applied mutually\u200c to all devices\u200c in\u2064 the \u200dnetwork in order to keep\u2062 the system secure. Software should also \u2063be updated regularly \u2064to ensure the system \u2064is running the \u2062latest version. Security\u2064 updates \u2063should also \u2062be implemented on \u200ba regular\u2063 basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Additionally, all devices\u200d connected to the\u2064 network\u200d should have \u200canti-virus, anti-malware, and intrusion detection \u2062systems\u2062 installed.
