Welcome to our comprehensive guide on network security. This document will provide you with essential information on how to secure your network and protect your data from potential threats.
Key Concepts
- Firewalls: Acts as a barrier between your internal network and the external internet, controlling incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined security rules.
- Encryption: Converts data into a coded format to prevent unauthorized access.
- VPN: A virtual private network that creates a secure connection over a public network, such as the internet.
Best Practices
- Regularly Update Your Software: Keep your operating system, antivirus software, and other applications up to date to protect against vulnerabilities.
- Use Strong Passwords: Create strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts and consider using a password manager to securely store them.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Add an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone, when logging in.
