Network security is crucial for business continuity, as breaches can disrupt e-commerce, lead to data loss, compromise privacy, and affect information integrity. These breaches can result in revenue loss, theft of intellectual property, lawsuits, and even threats to public safety. Attack vectors, which are paths attackers use to access servers, hosts, or networks, can originate from either inside or outside the corporate network. Data is often an organization’s most valuable asset, making it essential to implement DLP (Data Loss Prevention) controls at strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Common ways data is lost include email, social networking, unencrypted devices, cloud storage, removable media, hard copies, and poor access control.
