When securing a company’s network, there are different aspects that need to be covered. First, physical controls must be implemented. Putting locks, guards, and sensors in place can prevent an intruder from entering. Additionally, creating physical controls against natural occurrences should be incorporated. Installing fire alarms or backup power can help protect a network.

Next, software controls must be created to stop hackers from gaining any sort of access to the system. Putting in firewalls and running security scans can make sure everything on the system is up to date and that no unwanted guests come on the system. Some other measures to include are encryption of data, security updates, and user account control.

To create a good security system, there naturally needs to be several protective controls put in place so that the system can be protected from different types of attacks. Otherwise, the system will be amazing at protecting one type of attack while also being vulnerable to another type. Therefore, using a combination of the measures listed as well as other measures is best.
