network security
Firewall and encryption
Network security is the practice of protecting computer networks from unauthorized access, misuse, or attack.
It encompasses hardware, software, and policies designed to defend against threats like hacking, malware, and data breaches: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection systems.
Organizations invest heavily in network security to safeguard sensitive information and maintain system integrity.
