Industries that need advanced Network Security Solutions

 

Network Security Solutions 

Network security involves the policies, tools, and practices required to detect and manage unauthorized access, misuse, misrepresentation, and denial of services of any computer device or network. Hardware, software, and cloud services are its three main components. There are various types of network security solutions, namely:

●     Firewall

●     Remote Access, such as a Virtual Private Network (VPN)

●     Network Segmentation

●     Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools

●     Email Security

●     Sandboxing

●     Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)

●     Hyperscale Network Security

Let us see which of the industries need advanced network security solutions:

Government: Government organizations and units are prime targets for highly-skilled and dangerous cyber criminals. To detect dubious/suspicious emails, sites, or external drives, many public organizations have robust network security in place today. 

E-Commerce: A popular option during the start of the recent millennium, e-commerce became a rage during the turbulence caused by the global pandemic and the subsequent recession. This resulted in an instant spike in cybersecurity vulnerabilities given that consumers were sharing their PII (Personally Identifiable Information), financial details, etc. Network security quickly gained widespread adoption across e-commerce businesses to secure online checkout, multifactor authentication, secure data storage, and many other business operations. 

Finance: This shouldn't come as a surprise as it is the most targeted industry by cybercriminals in the recent decade. As more and more customers are coming under its fold, it becomes all the more imperative for the industry to adopt superior network security infrastructure. Currently, password-less authentication, zero-trust network architecture, and practices with a security-first approach are trending in the finance sector’s network security. 

Healthcare: This industry has been seeing a recent surge of cyber attacks, as a lot is at stake, including intellectual property data, patient health information and history that have been used for identity theft and ransomware. AI-powered network security infrastructure can help companies identify and mitigate cyber risks in time. It can also help fortify essential assets such as passwords, devices, files and users.
