As we know that the building blocks of a good firewall system are as follows:

Firewalls filter network traffic so that you only receive data that you should be getting. No firewall works perfectly, and a lot of a firewall's effectiveness depends on how you configure it.

Network security is any activity designed to protect the usability and integrity of your network and data.

It includes both hardware and software technologies

It targets a variety of threats

It stops them from entering or spreading on your network

Effective network security manages access to the network

A Smurf Attack is a DDoS form that makes computer networks inoperable by exploiting IP (Internet Protocol) and ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocols) vulnerabilities.

The first Smurf Attack goes back to the 1990s, when the University of Minnesota was targeted in 1998. The Minnesota Smurf Attack lasted more than an hour and “set off a chain reaction throughout the state, shutting down some computers entirely and in other cases causing data loss and network slowdowns.”

Authorization is still an area in which security professionals “mess up more often.”

It can be challenging to determine and perpetually monitor who gets access to which data resources, how they should be able to access them, and under which conditions they are granted access, for starters. But inconsistent or weak authorization protocols can create security holes that need to be identified and plugged as quickly as possible.

In today's globalized business environment, no company is an island.

The ecosystem of a typical company comprises an exceedingly large number of entities with which the company does business, including customers, partners, agents, affiliates, vendors, and service providers. Taken together, these third parties constitute what we call “the extended enterprise.”

So why is it important to monitor networks? The network is the life line of the IT infrastructure. When networks fail, the flow of information required by applications and business operations stop.

Networks are dynamic environments. Network Admins are continually asked to add new users, technologies and applications to their networks. These changes can impact their ability to deliver consistent, predictable network performance.

Organizations conduct penetration testing to locate network vulnerabilities and to prevent attacks that can cause system downtime, data loss, and damaged reputations. While other measures exist, conducting penetration testing is a vital part of any effective, holistic security strategy. It’s the best way to determine system vulnerabilities that can then be remediated to prevent hackers from accessing mission-critical systems.
