the desired information through the computer network, and realize the purpose of information sharing
through the transmission of network information. The application of computer network technology
breaks the limitation of information transmission time and space to a certain extent, and is conducive
to people's production and life activities. But with it comes the issue of network security. The article
mainly analyzes and discusses the current security problems of computer network engineering, and
proposes some solutions to how to solve these security problems, hoping to promote the healthy
development of computer network engineering science.

Keywords: Computer Network Engineering, Security Problems, Countermeasure.

1. Introduction
With the rapid development of the economy, computer technology is increasingly developed, and
network technology is widely circulated in people's lives and work, playing an increasingly important
role in promoting social progress and development. Computer network security has a very broad
meaning, and this meaning can change due to changes in the application [1]. The general Internet
users of our ordinary Internet users usually only pay attention to whether the personal computer will
be invaded by the Trojan virus, whether the computer system will collapse, whether the personal
privacy of the computer will be leaked, etc., and the network provider pays attention. Not only these
[2]. Computer network engineering security issues threaten national security and social order in the
broad direction, and are closely related to the daily life of each of us in the small direction. Therefore,
the study of computer network security issues, to find solutions to computer network engineering
security issues [3]. Once these potential safety hazards break out, they will have a more adverse
impact on people's production and life. At this stage, how to maintain network security has become a
widespread concern of all sectors of society [4]. Therefore, as computer network technicians, we
should enhance the awareness of maintaining network security, strengthen scientific research,
enhance the security of computer network technology, and ensure that the network can be carried out
safely. In this paper, the author mainly analyses the computer network security problems and
preventive countermeasures.

2. Safety and Security of Computer Network Engineering

2.1 Physical Security in Computer Network Engineering
Computer network engineering is a data communication and resource sharing system with
functions such as remote communication and remote data transmission, which are composed of
communication lines, communication devices, and computers. In the current network situation,
everyone can successfully achieve network sharing and network transmission. It is precisely because
the computer network has the characteristics of openness, so its security problem has been challenged
and threatened. When the computer network completes data communication and resource sharing,
the hardware device may cause normal failure due to natural factors or human factors [5]. Therefore,
in order to ensure the security of computer network, the integrity of computer network system should
be considered first. The integrity of computer network system can be divided into two aspects:

program and data. Only when both aspects are guaranteed at the same time, can the internal program
of the system be protected. Generally speaking, any unit first connects to form a network through an
internal network, and then accesses the Internet through an external wide area network [6]. Most of
the privileges and information secrets of the members of the internal network cannot be accessed
directly by the external network. For example, when sending packets with huge traffic leads to the
exhaustion of network traffic, the network cannot provide data transmission services for normal users
with the attack target of multiple computers and network connectivity, which ultimately leads to the
system paralysis.
2.2 Security of Computer Network Engineering System
Computer networks are open, so this can cause a lot of problems for computer networks. It can be
said that in the current network environment, anyone can achieve network transmission and network
sharing. At present, computer systems are not secure. Common computer system vulnerabilities
include: RDP vulnerabilities, VM vulnerabilities and UPNP service vulnerabilities, and computer
system vulnerabilities are constantly being exploited, which leads to serious threats to our computer
application security [7]. Because of the strong expansibility of computer network, developers can
constantly update and upgrade the system. This expansibility provides convenience for hacker attacks
and brings hidden dangers to computer network. Therefore, the channel of information acquisition is
required to adapt to the development of the times. Information managers need to actively broaden the
channel of information collection so as to obtain information resources with high quality and
authenticity.
2.3 Security of Computer Network Data Storage
The database storage function of computer network is the function that people use all the time in
the process of surfing the Internet. The content that users browse on the Web will be automatically
stored in the computer by the computer browser. It also contains personal information such as user's
account and account password. Therefore, once the computer operating system has problems, it will
inevitably cause some impact on network security. The computer operating system provides many
functions for the computer to manage. The two main parts are the software part and the hardware part.
When we open a personal mailbox, we will always find that the mailbox is filled with inexplicable
emails of various departments, occupying memory and network bandwidth, seriously affecting
network quality and obtaining various ways of mail addresses. The criminals attacked the user's
computer through a script virus, and tampered or hijacked the web page, causing the web page of the
web page to appear pop-ups, causing the user's computer system to collapse. Therefore, the
information manager of the enterprise should update the inventory information in the accumulated
database in time to prevent the occurrence of a large amount of information that cannot be accessed
due to the unsatisfactory update information, which may affect the normal operation of the enterprise.
2.4 Network Virus Security
Nowadays, the humanized design of programming tools and software makes it easier for people
to learn to program, and the means of those network hackers are even more first-class, producing a
computer virus almost every second in the world. Computer viruses are codes that are inserted by
programmers into software or data to destroy computer systems and data. Such codes are parasitic,
hidden, infectious and latent. Common computer viruses include boot zone viruses, file parasitic
viruses, macro viruses, script viruses, worms and Trolls. Imma, etc. The computer network has a
strong virus destructive power and a strong reproductive capacity. In severe cases, it will lead to the
paralysis of the entire network system. Therefore, the virus has a great destructive power and spreads
extremely fast, which brings great harm to our work and life.
2.5 Hacker Attack Security Problem
At present, there are two kinds of criminals who specialize in computer network attacks. One is to
attack and destroy other people's network systems and computers, steal other people's confidential
370
 Advances in Computer Science Research (ACSR), volume 90

data for profit, the other is to destroy the network system for fun and prove their destructive ability.
These two kinds of criminals are unified. It's called "hacker". In the classification of means of hacker
attack, most of the vulnerable hackers are servers, which are attacked by torrents. Hackers control
dozens, hundreds or even thousands of computers through Trojan Horse virus, and then control the
computer remotely to send connection requests to the same server at the same time, occupying public
ports [8]. Usually, some people illegally act against the government and the unit for the benefit.
Network attacks are mainly carried out through various means such as registration password, Trojan
virus, and listener. Inflict harm on the interests of the country and seriously damage the property of
the people. Different software facilities and hardware facilities constitute a computer network. Certain
natural conditions provide support for the normal operation of the computer network. In a sense, the
security of the computer network depends to some extent on the natural environment.

3. Research on the Countermeasure of Computer Network Engineering

3.1 Improving Technical Preventive Measures
To establish a more secure technology management system, it is necessary to improve the quality
of relevant management personnel, and also to improve the security of the network system, strengthen
the professional quality of technical personnel, and set every level of technical prevention.
Strengthening the management of the network system can restrict the entry of bad network
information through legally binding behavior or moral education for netizens [9]. Continuously
improve the network security awareness of computer network information technology personnel. Do
a good job of controlling network access, control access personnel, and set access rights, so as to
effectively protect the network system from unauthorized access and intrusion. At the same time, it
is necessary to strengthen the management of user rights. Users should be screened strictly before
entering the network. A mechanism must be installed at the interface between the system and the
external network to detect the security of external users. Solve the legitimacy of requests, whether
internal users transfer confidential non-co-prosperous files to illegal external users, and other issues.
Therefore, for networked users, appropriate anti-virus software should be purchased and installed
according to the security level. Because the virus library of anti-virus software is always lagging
behind the virus, it is also a content that computer network managers must attach great importance to
updating the virus library of anti-virus software at any time.
3.2 Strengthen Management Level
Data generated in the process of computer network operation often exists in a dynamic form.
Encryption technology is to use the key to control and transform the data, avoiding unauthorized users
to modify the relevant data information. Safety management of computer network engineering has
always been the top priority, because it plays a very important role in network protection. If only
relying on technical prevention to ensure the safety of computer network engineering, it is far from
enough. Because more security measures are needed to maintain the security of computer network
engineering. For example, to maintain the information security of computer users, to legislate to
protect computer network security and strictly enforce the law. Therefore, for networked users, you
should purchase and install appropriate anti-virus software according to the security level. Because
the virus database of anti-virus software is always lagging behind the virus, the virus database that
updates the anti-virus software at any time is also a content that computer network managers must
attach great importance to. The security management mechanism of network management is a
problem that network users, especially key units, must attach great importance to. For LAN
information security, it is especially important to do a good network defense mechanism. Therefore,
the specific operation will face difficulties from many aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to further
strengthen the network security management of the computer, and only by raising the security
awareness of the relevant personnel, can the maintenance of the computer network engineering be
more effectively maintained.

3.3 Safeguards at the Security Level

The basic premise of ensuring computer network engineering security is to create a relatively
secure physical environment, such as a computer room or a physical space similar to a computer room.
Care must be taken when selecting addresses, and it is necessary to prevent physical damage to the
computer system due to natural environmental factors. It is important to choose the address. It is
necessary to prevent attacks from physical disasters such as the environment, and to prevent human
damage. Establish a complete information security hardening system to ensure the safe and stable
operation of the system. Second, we must establish a sound network information security
management system and clarify security responsibilities. Therefore, improving the self-prevention
awareness of computer users is an important part of the computer vulnerability handling measures.
Users should be vigilant in the process of downloading or installing software. During the installation
of software, some optional plug-ins need not be checked. The anti-virus software in the computer will
periodically inform the user to update the virus library. The user should update the virus library on
the basis of regularly killing the virus in the computer. In the actual operation process, we also need
to control the access of virtual addresses and restrict the access rights of users, such as identity
recognition, so that we can avoid the damage to computer network security caused by illegal intrusion
to a certain extent.
3.4 Comprehensive Preventive Measures for Computer Network Engineering Safety
It is necessary to strengthen the education of network security so that both managers and users can
realize the importance of computer network security. Increase network management, so that the safety
awareness and professional technology of relevant personnel have been improved. Therefore, it is
particularly important and key to maintain network security when authenticating user identity
information. Users should use passwords and passwords to achieve the privilege classification of
network system. Due to the unreliable transmission of network links, data is easily intercepted in the
process of transmission. In order to avoid the leakage of confidential data, it is necessary to encrypt
the transmitted data according to encryption technology, which can be divided into symmetric and
asymmetric encryption symmetric encryption. The cryptographic technology includes confidential
technologies and digital signatures of different networks. There are three ways to encrypt the network.
The first is the node-to-node encryption, the second is the end-to-end encryption, and the third is the
link encryption. In addition, it is necessary to improve the protection function of the computer system
firewall. The firewall technology is also divided into three types, one is packet filtering technology,
one is proxy technology, and the other is application gateway technology. Therefore, on the one hand,
we must strengthen the research and development of computer network engineering hardware and
software security, ensure the computer network application system that provides consumers with
more perfect and safe, and on the other hand strengthen the security management of the computer
building application, and install the latest computer system in time. Security patch. At the same time,
the firewall technology and the intrusion detection system are linked together to complement each
other, which can provide a reliable guarantee for the security of the computer network.

4. Summary
In the current era of rapid progress, the process of informationization is being accepted by all
mankind. Gradually, human beings have become dependent on the network. The computer network
system itself also has certain loopholes, which makes the computer network run more and more
hidden dangers, which has a negative effect on social development. To a certain extent, it also restricts
the healthy development of computer networks, and the use of computer network crimes is a serious
phenomenon. Therefore, according to the direction of the development of modern network and the
future trend of development, it is the best guarantee for maintaining network security and national
diplomacy to do a good job of network security protection and enhance network defense ability. In
order to maximize the security of information, we should strengthen the education of computer
network security while improving the technology of computer network security protection strategy.

Only by improving the quality of citizens and two-way combination can we maximize the security of
information.
