Protecting Your Enterprise Network--5 Modes Of Neglected Security

In a recent issue of BICSI news Magazine, John Awad with Optical Cable Corporation, wrote an article on “Protecting The Network Infrastructure.” The article covers the modes of security, which are often not considered. We all are well aware of the antivirus software, firewalls, login credentials, and encryption protecting the enterprise network. What this article covers are those security modes that protect the actual infrastructure components in regards to controlling and enabling access to the physical network. I won’t give it all away, but the following are the components featured in the article: 

• Network Designation
• Network Segmentation
• Limiting Unauthorized Access To Optical Fiber Ports
• Preventing Accidental Disconnect
• Disaster Recovery
