NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
Clear answers about network architecture, data encryption, and information integrity for your business.
Protocols like TLS/SSL, IPsec, and SSH use cryptographic hash functions (SHA-256) and message authentication codes (HMAC) to verify that data has not been altered during transmission between two points.
It is based on segmentation (VLANs), next-generation firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS/IPS), and a principle of least privilege access policy. The goal is to create layers of defense (defense in depth) to protect critical assets.
Confidentiality ensures that information is only accessible to those who are authorized (through encryption). Integrity guarantees that the information has not been modified in an unauthorized or accidental manner during its lifecycle.
No. A firewall is a fundamental piece, but it must be complemented with other measures: software updates, user training, encryption of sensitive data, and continuous monitoring for comprehensive protection against internal and external threats.
By conducting periodic security audits, vulnerability analyses, and penetration tests. It is also crucial to keep all systems updated and disable obsolete or insecure protocols such as SSLv2 or TLS 1.0.
