# Make sure you have a security policy in place -— The security policy is the formal statement of rules on how security will be implemented in your organization. A security policy should define the level of security and the roles and responsibilities of users, administrators and managers.
# Make sure all of your operating systems and applications are patched with the latest service packs and hotfixes -— Keeping your systems patched will close vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers.
# Keep an inventory of your network devices -— Develop and maintain a list of all hardware/software components, and understand which default software installations provide weak security configurations.
# Scan TCP/UDP services -— Turn off or remove unnecessary services. Unneeded services can be the entry point attackers use to gain control of your system.
# Establish a strong password policy -— Weak passwords could mean a compromised user account.
# Don't trust code from non-trusted sources.
# Block certain e-mail attachment types -— This list includes .bas, .bat, .exe and .vbs.
# Don't provide more rights to system resources than necessary -— Implement the concept of "least privilege".
Have a great day

Re: Network Security
Hello Friends,
Encryption of files and firewalls are just some of the security measures that can be used in security. This unit, which assumes you have a substantial knowledge of computing, helps to explain the intricacies of the continually changing area of network security by studying the main issues involved in achieving a reasonable degree of resilience against attacks.
Thanks
