IT Network Security Benefits
Protecting client data and information is essential. Network security ensures that clients have reliable access to their network and protects them from cyber threats. An effective network security system reduces overhead costs and protects organizations against costly losses due to a data breach. It is essential that legitimate access to data, systems, and applications be granted to enable business operations and the delivery of products and services to customers.

Different types of network security protections
Firewall
With pre-determined security rules, firewalls manage incoming and outgoing traffic to networks. Firewalls are essential for daily computing and keeping out undesirable traffic. Firewalls are a critical part of network security. Next-Generation Firewalls have a particular focus on blocking malware attacks and other application-layer attacks.
Network Segmentation
Network segmentation is the designation of boundaries between network segments that define common functions, risks, or roles within an organization. The perimeter gateway is a way to separate a company’s network from the Internet. The network is protected from potential threats and ensures that sensitive information remains within the organization. An organization can also define additional boundaries within its network to provide greater security and access control.
What is Access Control?
Access control is the ability to restrict access to network applications or systems. It allows for the identification of individuals, groups, and devices that are authorized to access the system. This prevents unsanctioned access and may even be dangerous. Integrations with Identity and Access Management products (IAM), can identify the user and Role-Based Access Control policies (RBAC), ensure that the person and the device have authorized access to the asset.
Zero Trust
Remote Access VPN
Remote access VPN allows remote access to the company network for clients or hosts, including telecommuters, extranet users, and mobile users. Each host usually has either a web-based client or VPN client software installed. Multi-factor authentication, endpoint compliance scanning, and encryption of all data transmitted to ensure privacy and integrity.
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).
Zero trust security models stipulate that users should only have access to the information they need to perform their job. This approach is very different from traditional security solutions like VPNs that allow users full access to the target networks. ZTNA (zero-trust network access), also known as software-defined perimeter (SDP), allows users to have granular access to the applications of an organization from those who need it to fulfill their duties.
Email Security
Email security is a process, product, or service that protects your email account and content from external threats. While most email service providers offer email security features to protect you, they may not be sufficient to prevent cybercriminals from accessing your data.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Data loss prevention (DLP), is a cybersecurity method that uses technology and best practices to protect sensitive information from being exposed outside an organization, particularly regulated data like personally identifiable information (PII), and compliance data (HIPAA, SOX, and PCI DSS).
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS).
IPS technology can detect and prevent network security attacks like brute force attacks, Denial of Service attacks (DoS), attacks on known vulnerabilities, and exploits of those vulnerabilities. An exploit is an attack that uses that vulnerability to take control of a system. A vulnerability can be a weakness in a software system. An exploit can be exploited by attackers before security patches are applied. This is why it is important to announce exploits as soon as possible. These cases can be blocked quickly by using an Intrusion Prevention System. Call CTS3 Solutions today if you have any questions about IT Network Security for your business. 561-910-0405
