Best Ways to Secure Your Network
ARE YOU LOOKING for better ways to
secure your network? Being proactive and keeping a secure
network can potentially save you from experiencing the
dreaded, “crashed network.” Sadly, many hackers assume your
network is not defended; so, all networks are at risk of
acquiring worms and hackers. Let's explore two vulnerable
computer network areas: the endpoint and the perimeter.
What is the endpoint? “ In computer science, in
discussions of communications protocols, an endpoint is the
name for the entity on one end of a transport layer
connection” (Wikipedia). The (communication) endpoint is the
communication channel between your computer and the computer
connected on the other end. For example, if you are
subscribing to an online newsletter and only want to receive
automated email correspondence on a certain subject, you can
expect to receive a subset of messages from the website you
subscribed to. Computer network communication protocols work
by a set of communication rules to ensure reliable
interchange of data over imperfect communication channels.
In order for data to successfully flow between two end
points, transport layers are required: “In computing and
telecommunications, the transport layer is the second
highest layer in the four and five layer TCP/IP reference
models, where it responds to service requests from the
application layer and issues service requests to the network
layer. It is also the name of layer four of the seven layer
OSI model, where it responds to service requests from the
session layer and issues service requests to the network
layer” (Wikipedia). Therefore, the transport layer takes
care of transferring data between hosts (or computers) and
ensures data flow reliability within networks. The transport
layer also controls and error recovery by making sure the
data gets to the intended destination point. Centralized
monitoring and event correlation systems which allow
multiple end points to be used at the same time within a
network necessitate a powerful multifunction network
security appliance.
Both hardware appliances and software
applications work in conjunction. The phrase, “ perimeter
based security” describes “the technique of securing a
network by controlling access to all entry and exit points
of the network. Usually associated with firewalls and/or
filters” (Texas State Library and Archive Commission).
Perimeters are typically protected with software
applications. With software programs, you can monitor,
block, and destroy spam, viruses, worms, and Trojans too.
Installation

key to secure networks. Genesis Global is a global provider
