Title: network security Post by: Tanya on June 03, 2007, 08:47:43 PM network security
Network security is the effort to create a secure computing platform, designed so that agents (users or programs) cannot perform actions that they are not allowed to perform, but can perform the actions that they are allowed to. The actions in question can be reduced to operations of access, modification and deletion. Network security can be seen as a subfield of security engineering, which looks at broader security issues in addition to network security.
