Network Security (Anti-virus / Firewalls)

​

​

​

Network security protects your network and data from breaches, intrusions and other threats. Network security involves access control, virus and antivirus software, application security, network analytics, types of network-related security (endpoint, web, wireless), firewalls, VPN encryption and more.

​

Firewalls:

​

In computing, a firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. A firewall typically establishes a barrier between a trusted network and an untrusted network, such as the Internet.

​

Antivirus:

​

Antivirus is a kind of software used to prevent, scan, detect and delete viruses from a computer or infrastructure. Once deployed, most antivirus software runs automatically in the background to provide real-time protection against virus attacks.
