    Study Notes

    Network Security Control

    Definition

    Network Security Control refers to the measures implemented to prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of computer networks and electronic information.

    Types of Network Security Controls

    • Physical Controls: Restricting physical access to network devices and infrastructure.
    • Technical Controls: Implementing security measures through technology, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption.
    • Administrative Controls: Establishing policies, procedures, and standards for network security.

    Network Security Control Components

    Network Access Control (NAC)

    • Authentication: Verifying user identities before granting access to the network.
    • Authorization: Controlling access to network resources based on user roles and permissions.

    Network Segmentation

    • VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks): Dividing a network into smaller, isolated segments.
    • Firewalls: Filtering incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.

    Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS)

    • Intrusion Detection: Identifying and alerting on potential security threats.
    • Intrusion Prevention: Blocking or mitigating identified security threats.

    Encryption

    • Data Encryption: Protecting data in transit or at rest using encryption algorithms.
    • Key Management: Managing encryption keys to ensure secure access and authentication.

    Incident Response

    • Incident Detection: Identifying and responding to security incidents.
    • Incident Response Plan: A set of procedures to respond to and contain security incidents.

    Network Security Control Best Practices

    • Implement a Defense in Depth Strategy: Layering multiple security controls to prevent single-point failures.
    • Regularly Monitor and Update: Continuously monitoring network security and updating controls to address emerging threats.
    • Conduct Regular Security Audits: Identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in network security controls.
