Network Security: Things Most People Don’t Think About
Too Long; Didn't Read
Most people think of network security with firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems. These components and practices are helpful, but they should be considered baseline security. Microsegmentation allows you to police and shape what happens in the network, keeping a breach or attack that takes place in one system from affecting other systems. Quality of service (QoS) or traffic prioritization can be used to bolster security on a network. It can ensure that network availability is prioritized for voice traffic and certain critical application traffic.
