Types of Security in Network

 

There are several types of security in a network, covering both physical and digital aspects. Here’s an overview of some key types:

1. Physical Security

  • Surveillance Systems: Includes CCTV cameras, motion detectors, and access control systems to monitor and secure the physical premises where network hardware is located.
  • Access Control: Securing access to data centers, server rooms, and network cabinets through locks, biometric systems, key cards, etc.

2. Network Security

  • Firewalls: Devices or software that monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on security rules.
  • Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS): Tools that detect and possibly prevent unauthorized access or attacks.
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN): Secure connections over public networks, ensuring data privacy and encryption.
  • Network Access Control (NAC): Policies and protocols that restrict unauthorized devices from accessing the network.
  • Antivirus and Anti-malware: Protects network devices from malicious software.
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Prevents sensitive data from being shared, lost, or stolen.
  • Zero Trust Architecture: A security model where no user or device is trusted by default, even if they are within the network perimeter.

3. Wireless Security

  • Wi-Fi Security Protocols: Such as WPA3, WPA2, or WEP, which protect wireless communications.
  • Rogue Access Point Detection: Identifying unauthorized access points that may compromise the network.

4. Endpoint Security

  • Device Management: Tools like Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) ensure that all devices accessing the network comply with security policies.
  • Patching and Updates: Regular updates to close security vulnerabilities on connected devices.

5. Application Security

  • Web Application Firewalls (WAF): Protects web applications from common attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), etc.
  • Secure Coding Practices: Implementing code that is resistant to attacks and vulnerabilities.

6. Cloud Security

  • Identity and Access Management (IAM): Manages user access and privileges in cloud environments.
  • Data Encryption: Encrypting data both at rest and in transit within cloud services.
  • Security Posture Management: Tools that continuously assess and manage cloud security configurations.

7. Operational Security (OPSEC)

  • Incident Response Plans: Procedures to follow in the event of a security breach.
  • Regular Audits and Penetration Testing: Testing the network to identify vulnerabilities and improve defenses.

8. Surveillance Security

  • Network Video Recorders (NVR): Used for managing and storing video surveillance feeds.
  • Camera Systems: Includes IP cameras that are connected over the network to monitor areas.
  • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Integrates surveillance data with other security information for a comprehensive security view.

9. Human Security

  • Security Awareness Training: Educating employees about threats like phishing, social engineering, and best practices for security.
  • Access Management: Controlling who has access to what information based on their role and need.

TCP/IP MODEL

  HISTORY OF TCP/IP MODEL THE TCP/IP MODEL WAS DEVELOPED BY VINT CERF AND BOB KAHN IN THE 1970S. THEY WERE BOTH WORKING AT THE DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY (DARPA) AT THE TIME. Vint Cerf And Bob Kahn CERF AND KAHN WERE TASKED WITH DEVELOPING A NEW NETWORK PROTOCOL THAT WOULD BE MORE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT THAN THE EXISTING PROTOCOLS. THEY CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF USING A LAYERED APPROACH, WHICH WOULD ALLOW EACH LAYER TO FOCUS ON A SPECIFIC TASK. THIS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL, WHICH IS STILL THE BASIS FOR HOW DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET TODAY. CERF AND KAHN ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "FATHERS OF THE INTERNET" FOR THEIR WORK ON THE TCP/IP MODEL. THEY WERE INDUCTED INTO THE NATIONAL INVENTORS HALL OF FAME IN 2004 FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET. HERE ARE SOME OTHER NOTABLE PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL: JON POSTEL: POSTEL WAS THE FIRST CHAIRMAN OF THE INTERNET ENGINEERI...

Internet Protocol (IP) Address

  IP ADDRESS IT IS A UNIQUE ADDRESS THAT WE CAN ASSIGN TO DEVICE .SO THAT DEVICECAN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. WE CANNAOT ASSIGN SAME IP ADDRESS IN ANY TWO DEVICES IN OUR NETWORK. IF WE WILL DO THIS THEN IT WILL BE  CAUSE A CONFLICT ERROR. TWO VERSION OF IP ADDRESS: 1: IPV4 ; 2: IPV6 ; IPV4 32 BITS AND IPV6 128 BITS. AN IP ADDRESS, OR INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS, IS A SERIES OF NUMBERS THAT IDENTIFIES ANY DEVICE ON A NETWORK.  COMPUTERS USE IP ADDRESSES TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER BOTH OVER THE INTERNET AS WELL AS ON OTHER NETWORKS. TO FIND THE IP ADDRESS CLASS WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE FIRST DIGIT OF THE IP ADDRESS. AND BY LOOKING AT THE FIRST DIGIT, WE CAN GUESS THE SUBNET MASK TO WHICH CLASS IT BELONGS. CLASS A IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.0.0.0 CLASS B IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK  255.255.0.0  CLASS C IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0 IANA TABLE IP RANGES                 IANA   ( Internet Assigned Numbers Au...
