Network Security: Why Businesses Need It and How We Deliver

Written by The Network Pro | Jan 28, 2011 6:16:52 AM

The computer network and supporting infrastructure is perhaps the very nerve centre of every growing business. As such, all critical possessions have an element of risk associated with them. For your company’s network, the associated risk is its vulnerability. What would happen if a hacker breaks into your network and wreaks havoc? What happens when all your critical data is erased in a deliberate sabotage attempt? Too many variables, but there’s a single answer: rock solid network security.

Critical customer data could be stolen, modified, damaged or misplaced; the entire network could be hacked into leading to a plethora of other attacks possible such as eavesdropping, IP address spoofing, Denial-of-Service attack (DOS), Man-in-the-middle attack, application layer attack and sniffer attack.

Can you take a guess as to who might perpetrate a network attack? Curiously, it could be users within your company or hackers who do it from elsewhere.

As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a possibility that one too many of the computers within your network could be victims suffering attacks from software and computer vulnerability such as Virus, Malware, Spyware, Worms and Trojans.

There are even more possibilities of jeopardy such as phishing, key-stroke logging, attacks specific to wireless networks, etc. Now that the corporate world has embraced extension of computing through mobile devices, at least some of these attacks are possible on your mobile devices also.

It’s dizzying just to take note of what’s possible, isn’t it? Unfortunately, this isn’t an exhaustive list and it can never be since each new day brings in a new challenge for anyone with the responsibility of keeping a company’s computer network secure.
