Networking Security: Defending Modern Networks

Networking Security: Defending Modern Networks Modern networks extend far beyond a single office. Remote work, cloud applications, mobile devices, and IoT blur the line between inside and outside the perimeter. Security can no longer rely on one gateway. Instead, it must be woven into every layer of the network—from devices and apps to identities and data flows. A practical approach combines defense in depth, network segmentation, and identity-first controls. The aim is to slow or stop attackers, limit what they can access, and increase the speed of detection and response. ...

Network Security: Defending the Edge and the Core

Network Security: Defending the Edge and the Core Security in today’s networks must cover both the edge and the core. Edge devices include laptops, phones, routers, printers, and many IoT items. The core lives in data centers, private clouds, and the backbone of the internal network. A layered approach, called defense in depth, helps each part defend the other. With practical steps, teams of any size can improve protection without slowing work. ...
