Network & Internet Security

In today’s high speed internet  with home and business networks connected to it network security has become a necessity of even the smallest of networks.

Network Security

The terms network security and information security are often used interchangeably, however network security is generally taken as providing protection at the boundaries of an organization, keeping the intruders (e.g. black hat hackers, script kiddies, Trudy, etc.) out. Network security systems today are mostly effective, so the focus has shifted to protecting resources from attack or simple mistakes by people inside the organization, e.g. with Digital Leak Protection (DLP). One response to this insider threat in network security is to compartmentalize large networks, so that an employee would have to cross an internal boundary and be authenticated when they try to access privileged information. Information security is explicitly concerned with all aspects of protecting information resources, including network security and DLP.

Security Management for networks is different for all kinds of situations.

Some may say that a small home or an office would only require basic security while large businesses will require high maintenance and advanced software and hardware to prevent malicious attacks from hacking and spamming.

At Userveme we know that even home and small offices can be handling sensitive data. Things like FERPA, HIPAA, and many other laws require that even the small or home office when handling patient and other business data must be secured in the proper manor or the business may be at risk of violating the law or become liable for lost or stolen data.

Internet Security

When a computer connects to a network and begins communicating with others, it is taking a risk. Internet securityinvolves the protection of a computer’s Internet account and files from intrusion of an unknown user. Basic security measures involve protection by well selected passwords, change of file permissions and back up of computer’s data. This is not to say that these should be the only steps a individual or company should take to secure their data, information and even their equipment from harm theft or loss.

Networking and Internet Security go hand in hand with todays highspeed data connections.
