As it is, we are as strong as out weakest link. So we need to be harder, better, faster, stronger when it comes to information security and what will be a better place to start than the network of our organization.<\/p>\n

Network security refers to any activity that will protect the integrity, availability and consistency (CIA coff coff) of the physical and logical assets from any threats or prevent the breach from getting worst. We\u2019ve been talking a lot about threats in information security, and I\u2019m sure that by now you must be as paranoid as I am, so I\u2019m sure there\u2019s not need to discuss threats anymore, but the real question is\u2026 what are those activities that will helps us protect our love ones from evil hackers?
