Overview
Firewalls, IPS, network access control (NAC),
and security information and event management (SIEM) are the four most
essential components of network security. Others include data loss prevention
(DLP); antivirus and anti-malware software; application, web and email
security; and more.
Network Security
NGFWs offer enhanced security
features and deeper inspection capabilities. Here’s
a breakdown of what sets NGFWs apart:
- Application Awareness and Control
- Integrated Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
- Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
- User Identity Awareness
- SSL/TLS Inspection
- Antivirus, anti-spam, and content filtering
- Contextual Analysis
- Policy Automation and Orchestration
MDM allow organizations to manage, secure, and enforce policies on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. MDM solutions typically include features like remote wiping, app management and security.
(NAC) is a security solution that helps manage
and regulate access to a network.
It ensures that only authorized users and
devices can connect to the network and enforce policies to protect the network
from potential threats. Here are the key components and functionalities of NAC:
- Policy Server
- Authentication server
- Access Control Enforcement Points
- Network Visibility and Monitoring Tools
