Network Security & Penetration Testing

Description:

In this digital era, an attack hurled on one computer might leave impact on multiple systems. Network allows people to gain remote access and stay connected to geographically distant resources. Generally, the objective of a network security is to secure the network and its element parts from illegal access and abuse. Networks are practically vulnerable due to their intrinsic characteristic of enabling remote access.

As the usage of electronic data is on the rise, there comes a mounting need for privacy and security in the cyberspace. Thus it is integral for any network administrator to implant stringent security policies to avert latent losses, irrespective of the size and type of network.
