As more and more people and organizations become interconnected, more and more information is exchanged, from that considered trivial and disposable to that most sensitive and necessary for people\u2019s lives and business survival.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why today\u2019s network infrastructure is so important, and so attractive to wrongdoers. So, to ensure the network\u2019s performance and to avoid or minimize situations where the information it carries is compromised, it is necessary to take security safeguards.<\/p>\n
In this article we\u2019ll see a little about network security management and how\u00a0ISO 27001<\/a> and\u00a0ISO 27002<\/a> controls, like securing network services and network segregation, can help increase network infrastructure security and resilience, and how these features can be used to add value to your business.<\/p>\n We can define network security management as the process designed to protect a network and the data that flows through it from risks like unauthorized access, misuse, malfunction, modification, destruction, or improper disclosure, while allowing authorized computers, users, and applications to perform their activities. And, by \u201cnetwork,\u201d we mean both internal and external networks (e.g., when organizations use the Internet infrastructure to transfer information between offices located in different cities).<\/p>\n Through administrative, physical, and technological\u00a0controls<\/a>, the network security management seeks to create a secure environment based on layers of protective components that support and complement each other to increase the overall security.What is network security management?<\/h2>\n
