| Abstract: | In current times, sending confidential data over the Internet is becoming more commonplace every day. Some people and organizations, e.g. commercial banks, are completely dependent on electronic transmission of confidential data. Computer networks are the transport medium for these electronic data transmissions. Hackers mostly target networks as their primary point of infiltration, whether it is internal or external from a private network. What should one know about the security of networks these days? How should security be implemented to safeguard a network? How should security be managed? This article will address the above questions and will give an idea of where we stand with network security in current times. |
