Network security protects networks, systems, and data from unauthorized access, tampering, and misuse through technical controls, monitoring, and organizational policies. It includes perimeter and host defenses, access controls, encryption, network segmentation, and incident detection and response. The primary goals are confidentiality, integrity, and availa…
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What you need to understand to reason about a domain.
Network security protects networks and communications through controls for confidentiality, integrity, availability, and authorized access.
It grew from risks in connected infrastructure and expanded from perimeter defense to identities, segmentation, encryption, monitoring, and response.
Like a building with access controls, locked areas, guards, and an emergency plan.
Confidentiality restricts who may read content.
Integrity protects data and configuration from unnoticed change.
Availability keeps services usable despite disruption.
Network security is a defense system of multiple controls; effectiveness depends on configuration, monitoring, response, and recovery.
