Network security in the digital transformation era

Network security has always been a core focus for CISOs and IT security managers, but in an era of digital transformation, we examine if network security strategies are keeping up with new and emerging cyber threats. Network security has, for decades, remained one of the more focal aspects of IT management strategies. It consists of the policies and practices that businesses implement to protect their computer networks from cyber attacks. Such strategies are responsible for stopping people from accessing and modifying networks without the permission of system administrators. Most cyber security professionals agree that every business needs some form of network protection system in place, or they risk falling victim to cyber attacks. It is also widely believed that these are the most effective protections against malware. Often, IT managers use network security procedures to control who can see and use company data. Usually, employees will need an ID and password combination to be able to get into company networks.
