Cyber Security Firewalls

 

Firewalls

Firewalls are a central architectural element to any network. They are designed to keep out all network traffic, except traffic which we allow. Firewalls operate on Layer 4, typically controlling TCP and UDP access to internal assets. Next-Generation Firewalls operate on all the layers of the OSI model, including Layer 7.

Traffic entering a network, e.g. through a Firewall, is called ingress traffic. Traffic leaving is called egress.

Cyber Security Wi-Fi Attacks

 A potent and important area to computer security is WIFI. Devices and systems are no longer required to be interconnected via physical cables, but can instead be reached by anyone within signal radius. WIFI enables many new devices to be capable of networking.

Penetration Testing & Social Engineering

 

Penetration Testing & Social Engineering

Penetration testing serves as a pro-active measure to try identify vulnerabilities in services and organizations before other attackers can.

Cyber Security Network Mapping & Port Scanning

 If we are to defend, we first need to know what to defend. Asset Management often relies on Network Mapping to identify which systems are live on a network.

Asset management and knowing what you expose on the network, including which services are hosted is very important for anyone looking to defend their network.
