The Ultimate Guide to Network Security
2024 edition
Overview
As a crucial component of modern computing, networks are depended upon by everyone and all organisations. Network security is the umbrella term for the set of policies, procedures, practices and technologies which protect networks from hackers and malware. Networks are expected to be reliable and available; Network Security is the means by which administrators achieve that by protecting against breaches, intrusions and other threats.
