To secure a company’s network, various controls can be implemented, addressing different aspects of security. Perimeter defenses like firewalls and unified threat management systems filter traffic and block unauthorized access. Access control measures, including identity and access management, multi-factor authentication, and network access control, ensure only authorized users can access sensitive data. Data protection involves encryption and data loss prevention to secure data in transit and at rest. Intrusion detection and prevention systems monitor and block suspicious activity. Security information and event management (SIEM) systems analyze security data to detect threats. Deception technologies like honeypots attract attackers to study their methods. Cloud security measures, including cloud access security brokers and secure access service edge, protect cloud services. Implementing a combination of these controls enhances network security and protects against a wide range of threats.
