Advanced Network Security
Advanced network security encompasses a range of sophisticated techniques designed to secure modern enterprise networks, focusing on layered defenses, real-time monitoring, network segmentation, and the establishment of encrypted channels. Technologies such as IDS/IPS systems are crucial for identifying and mitigating threats, while firewalls and VPNs safeguard data during transmission. Implementing a Zero Trust model fosters a more secure environment by ensuring that trust is not assumed for any user or device within the network.

What we have learnt
- Advanced network security incorporates layered defenses.
- Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) are vital for real-time threat detection.
- Network segmentation enhances security by limiting access to sensitive areas.
Key Concepts
- -- Defense in Depth
- A security approach where multiple layers of security controls (technical, administrative, and physical) are deployed to protect data and IT assets.
- -- Zero Trust Security
- A security model that requires strict identity verification for everyone trying to access resources on a network, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the network perimeter.
- -- Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
- A device or software application that monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations.
- -- Virtual Private Network (VPN)
- A service that encrypts your internet traffic and protects your online identity by masking your IP address.
