Network Security

A network security policy is a generic document that outlines rules for computer network access, determines how policies are enforced and lays out some of the basic architecture of the company security/ network security environment. A security policy goes far beyond the simple idea of "keep the bad guys out". It's a very complex document, meant to govern data access, web-browsing habits, use of passwords and encryption, email attachments and more. It specifies these rules for individuals or groups of individuals throughout the company.

Security policy should keep the malicious users out and also exert control over potential risky users within your organization. The first step in creating a policy is to understand what information and services are available (and to which users), what the potential is for damage and whether any protection is already in place to prevent misuse.

In addition, the security policy should dictate a hierarchy of access permissions; that is, grant users access only to what is necessary for the completion of their work.

While writing the security document can be a major undertaking, a good start can be achieved by using a template. National Institute for Standards and Technology provides a security-policy guideline.

The policies could be expressed as a set of instructions that could be understood by special purpose network hardware dedicated for securing the network.

The idea of security policies includes many dimensions. Broad considerations include requiring backups to be done regularly and stored off-site. Narrow table or data considerations include ensuring that unauthorized access to sensitive data, such as employee salaries, is precluded by built-in restrictions on every type of access to the table that contains them.

There are few points that can help you increase the security:

  • System Security Policy
  • Data Security Policy
  • User Security Policy
  • Password Management Policy
  • Auditing Policy
