Protection against Zero-day vulnerabilities.

 To protect against zero-day vulnerabilities, here are some effective techniques: Regular Patching and Updates : Ensure that all software, operating systems, and applications are regularly updated with the latest patches and security updates. Vendors often release patches to address known vulnerabilities, including zero-day exploits. Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) : Deploy IDS/IPS solutions that can monitor network traffic and identify suspicious activities or behavior that may indicate a zero-day exploit. These systems can help detect and block attacks before they can cause harm. Network Segmentation : Implement network segmentation to isolate critical systems and sensitive data from the rest of the network. By separating network resources, even if a zero-day vulnerability is exploited, the attacker's access and impact can be limited. Application Whitelisting : Implement application whitelisting, which allows only approved and trusted software to run on systems. ...

Network security best practices

 Network security best practices are a set of guidelines and recommendations that help ensure the protection of computer networks from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security threats. These practices are followed to enhance the overall security posture of a network. Here are some key network security best practices: Implement strong access controls : Use strong and unique passwords for network devices, enforce password complexity requirements, and consider implementing multi-factor authentication for an added layer of security. Regularly update and patch systems : Keep all network devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls, up to date with the latest security patches and firmware updates. Vulnerabilities in software and firmware can be exploited by attackers, so timely updates are crucial. Use encryption : Protect sensitive data by using encryption technologies such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) for data transmission. Also, ...
