Network Security: Defending the Network Edge

Network Security: Defending the Network Edge Edge security focuses on the points where users, devices, and data meet the network—the branch offices, remote workers, IoT sensors, and cloud services. Protecting these moments requires clear identity, strong policies, and continuous visibility. When defense sits near the edge, responses are faster and data remains safer even if a central system is slow or under stress. Key ideas for defending the edge Identity and access control: enforce MFA and least privilege, so only the right people reach the right resources. Microsegmentation: divide the network into small zones to limit movement of a breach. Encryption everywhere: TLS for data in transit, and strong encryption for stored data. Device posture and health checks: verify that devices meet security standards before granting access. Continuous monitoring: use network detection (NDR), log analysis, and alerting to spot unusual activity. Practical steps for teams ...

Threat Hunting in Modern Networks

Threat Hunting in Modern Networks Threat hunting is the proactive search for signs of hidden attackers inside your systems. In modern networks, attackers blend in with legitimate traffic, move across cloud environments, and exploit identity. A good hunter uses data, not luck, to detect the first traces of breach before damage grows. Today’s networks span on‑prem gear, cloud services, and remote workers. Telemetry from endpoints, networks, and identity tools helps you spot anomalies. No single tool catches everything; the power comes from combining signals and testing ideas. ...
