Computer Network Access Control: A Summary

Network security ensures the prevention, detection, and monitoring of unauthorized access, modification, or denial of a computer network and its resources.
Network administrators control the authorization of network access to data by users through a unique name and password.
Network security covers various networks used for conducting transactions and communications among individuals, businesses, and government agencies.
Network security is used by organizations, enterprises, and other types of institutions to secure and protect their networks.
Network security starts with authentication, which may require one-factor, two-factor, or three-factor authentication.
Firewalls enforce access policies to control what services network users can access.
Anti-virus software, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and anomaly-based intrusion detection systems help detect and inhibit malware.
Communication between two hosts using a network may be encrypted to maintain security and privacy.
Honeypots, decoy network-accessible resources, are deployed in a network as surveillance and early-warning tools to study attackers' methods.
Honeynets are networks set up with intentional vulnerabilities to invite attacks and increase network security.
Security management for networks varies from basic security for homes and small offices to advanced software and hardware for large businesses.
Networks are subject to passive and active attacks, including denial-of-service attacks, distributed denial-of-service attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and phishing attacks.
