Network Security: Hardware and Software Tools
This study investigates the hardware and software tools essential for implementing effective network security. While a network is defined as the interconnection of computers or devices that share resources, network security refers to the protection of these systems and their data from unauthorised access, misuse, or cyber threats. Common threats include worms, spyware, Trojan horses, and viruses. As cyberattacks become more frequent and complex, the importance of network security has increased significantly for individual users, organisations, and government entities. Robust network security safeguards critical infrastructure and data by reducing the risk of breaches and potential legal liabilities. This paper examines key hardware and software mechanisms involved in network protection and highlights best practices for securing digital environmen
