Network Security and Defensive Controls

Network security is not just one product. It is the combination of controls, visibility, policy, detection, and response that helps protect systems and data.

Some network security concepts are about controlling traffic. Others are about visibility, investigation, or limiting what attackers can do after access is gained.
