INTRODUCTION:
Network security
consists of the
provisions and policies
adopted by a network
administrator to
prevent and monitor
unauthorized access,
misuse, modification,
or denial of a computer
network and network-
accessible resources.
NETWORK SECURITY CONCEPTS
Network security starts with
authenticating, commonly
with a username and a
password. i.e. the password—
this is sometimes termed one-
factor authentication.
• two-factor authentication,
something the user 'has' is
also used (e.g. a security
token or 'dongle', an ATM
card, or a mobile phone)
• *three-factor authentication,
something the user 'is' is also
used (e.g. a fingerprint or
retinal scan).
TYPES OF NETWORK SECURITY
Wi - Fi Protected
Access (WPA)
Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP)
802.1X authentication
MAC Address
Authentication
SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Security management for
networks is different for all
kinds of situations. A home or
small office may only require
basic security while large
businesses may require high-
maintenance and advanced
software and hardware to
prevent malicious attacks from
hacking and spamming.
TYPES OF ATTACKS
Passive Network
wiretapping
Port scanner
Idle scan
Active
Smurf attack
Buffer overflow
Heap overflow
HOW DOES NETWORK SECURITY WORK?
Network security is accomplished through hardware
and software. The software must be constantly
updated and managed to protect you from emerging
threats.
A network security system usually consists of many
components. Ideally, all components work together,
which minimizes maintenance and improves security.
Network security components often include:
Anti-virus and anti-spyware
Firewall, to block unauthorized access to your
network
Intrusion prevention systems (IPS), to identify fast-
spreading threats, such as zero-day or zero-hour
attacks
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), to provide secure
remote access
WHAT ARE THE BUSINESS BENEFITS OF
NETWORK SECURITY?
With network security in place, your
company will experience many business
benefits. Your company is protected against
business disruption, which helps keep
employees productive. Network security
helps your company meet mandatory
regulatory compliance. Because network
security helps protect your customers' data, it
reduces the risk of legal action from data
theft.
Ultimately, network security helps protect a
business's reputation, which is one of its most
important assets.
WHAT IS NETWORK SECURITY AND HOW
DOES IT PROTECT YOU?
Many network security threats today are spread
over the Internet. The most common include:
Viruses, worms, and Trojan horses
Hacker attacks
Identity theft
NETWORK SECURITY TOOLS
Network Based
Firewalls
Host Based Firewalls
I conclude my presentation
sayings that as hackers and
many algorithms are there to
break passwords and mush
valuable information will be
loss so, network security is
very important for us.
