What is network security?

Network security is preventing attackers from achieving objectives through unauthorized access or unauthorized use of computers and networks.

Basic Security Measures

The basic security measures for computer systems fall into four categories: External security:- Protection from environmental damage. Surveillance:- Proper placement of security cameras can deter theft Auditing:- Creating a computer or paper audit can help detect wrongdoing Viruses/worms:- Many different types of viruses, such as parasitic, boot sector, stealth, polymorphic, and macro.

What is a firewall?
Used to control the flow of traffic (both inflows and outflows, but primarily inflows) between networks The connected networks can be internal or a combination of internal and external networks

Firewalls
A system or combination of systems that supports an access control policy between two networks. A firewall can limit the types of transactions that enter a system, as well as the types of transactions that leave a system.

Characteristics of Good Firewalls

All traffic from inside the corporate network to outside the network, and vice-versa, must pass through it;
Only authorized traffic, as defined by the security policy, is allowed to pass through it; and the system itself is immune to penetration.

Firewalls 2 types
A packet filter firewall is essentially a router that has been programmed to filter out or allow to pass certain IP addresses or TCP port numbers. A proxy server is a more advanced firewall that acts as a doorman into a corporate network. Any external transaction that request something from the corporate network must enter through the proxy server.

Proxy servers are more advanced but make external accesses slower.

Components of Firewalls
Chokes - limit the flow of packets between networks. Read packets and determine, based on the rules, if the traffic should pass Gates - act as a control point for external connections. They control the external connections.

Hence we conclude that NETWORK SECURITY prevents attackers from achieving the objectives through unauthorized access. Firewall is very useful to provide the security in NETWORKING.
