Network Security

Network security is a critical component in safeguarding computer network systems against unauthorised access, data breaches, and disruptions. It encompasses a range of measures, including controlling access, utilising firewalls, detecting, and preventing intrusions, encrypting data, enforcing security policies, deploying antivirus tools, maintaining software updates, monitoring for anomalies, and establishing an incident response plan. Additionally, employee training plays a crucial role in mitigating human-related security risks. Overall, network security is indispensable for protecting data, ensuring business continuity, and upholding trust with stakeholders. 

Perimeter

Perimeter network security constitutes the protective barriers enveloping the network, acting as shield against external intrusions, The essential purpose of establising this boundary is to control access to sensitive data. In IBSCY we ensure that the organisation's network perimeter is meeting the requirements, and all the company devices are well protected.
