Network security encompasses the comprehensive set of technologies, policies, processes, and practices that protect network infrastructure, network-accessible resources, and data from cyberattacks, unauthorized access, breaches, and disruptions while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information traversing communication systems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This multifaceted discipline combines hardware solutions like firewalls and intrusion detection systems with software applications, security protocols, access control mechanisms, and organizational procedures to defend both the network perimeter and internal network segments against an evolving landscape of network security threats.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
