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

Spyware and adware

Zero-day attacks, also called zero-hour attacks

Hacker attacks

Denial of service attacks

Data interception and theft

Identity theft

Intelinet Systems provides various solutions that help protect against these threats, but it helps to understand that no single solution protects you from the variety of threats that exists. You need multiple layers of security.

A network security system usually consists of many components and includes both hardware and software. 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

User Control Systems

Limiting access with Web Content Filtering

Activity monitoring

BYOD security – control user devices

Our Network Security consultants at Intelinet Systems can assist you in putting together a new or augment your existing network security system in areas you feel the weakest. Consequently, we also provide a Vulnerability Scan to help identify areas the need attention.
