Description
ABSTRACT
This seminar is on network security; fortifying against cyber threats. This work is based on how network security measures such as firewalls and intrusion detection system to access contros, encryption protocols, and user awareness programs that play crucial role in mitigating risks and preventing unauthorized access or data breaches.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Network security is the protection of the underlying networking infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, or theft. It involves creating a secure infrastructure for devices, applications, users, and applications to work in a secure manner.
Network security combines multiple layers of defenses at the edge and in the network. Each network security layer implements policies and controls. Authorized users gain access to network resources, but malicious actors are blocked from carrying out exploits and threats.
Network security is the field of cyber security focused on protecting computer networks and systems from internal and external cyber threats and cyber attacks.
Network security has three chief aims: to prevent unauthorized access to network resources; to detect and stop cyber attacks and security breaches in progress; and to ensure that authorized users have secure access to the network resources they need, when they need them.
Network security safeguards the integrity of network infrastructure, resources and traffic to thwart these attacks and minimize their financial and operational impact.
This seminar is focused on how network security can be used to fight cyber attacks.
Statement of the problem
Today’s digital business landscape is a common target of various network security threats. These attacks are aimed at individuals and organizations that store sensitive data, applications, and workloads online. If these unauthorized access attempts are successful, cyber criminals can potentially cause great reputation and financial damage to all users.
This seminar explores different types of network security threats, how to identify them, and how to prevent them from happening in the first place.
Aim and objectives of the study
The aim of this seminar is to carry out a research on how network security can be used to fight cyber attack.
The objectives of the study are:
- To different types of cyber attack
- To study how network security is been used to fight cyber attack
- To study methods of protecting network from cyber attack
Significance of the study
The study will serve as a means of providing readers with the information about network security and cyber attack.
This study will also serve as a means of exposing how cyber attacks occur and at the same time enlightening student on how cyber attacks on network can be prevented.
This study will also make a recommendation of how cyber attacks can be more prevented.
Benefit of the network security
Every organization that wants to deliver the services that customers and employees demand must protect its network. Network security also helps you protect proprietary information from attack. Ultimately it protects your reputation.
CONCLUSION
Tools are not enough to prevent attacks—every organization needs trained IT and security staff, or outsourced security services, to manage the tools and effectively use them to mitigate threats.
