Two of the biggest network controls that come to mind are encryption and firewalls. Requiring access to the network will help put a barrier between just anyone with an internet connection and those who are actually supposed to be on the network. Firewalls are a good way to filter through any potential malware or attacks to the network. The firewall essentially acts as a filter and allows what data is supposed to come through while preventing data that shouldn’t. These methods are beneficial to companies to help protect information on the network and prevent business losses due to technical issues and possible attacks. These are great ways to lower risk to a more acceptable level.
