Network security management can be one of the most imposing tasks to set your mind to; how exactly do you go about ensuring the functionality, security and general health of an entire network?<\/p>\n

\"Over 70% of organisations report having been compromised by a successful cyber attack in the last 12 months<\/em>\" - David Shephard<\/a> at NetIQ<\/a><\/p>\n

Not only does the task cover a huge base of potential entry points for the aspiring hacker, but the field on which your battles are fought is constantly changing.<\/p>\n

Routine system updates can sometimes prove just as dangerous as dubious software installs from unverified vendors, and given enough time, vulnerabilities in your system security will be uncovered.<\/p>\n

However, by running this network security management checklist regularly<\/strong> (we recommend once every fortnight), you can protect your system and prepare for the worst.<\/p>\n

From locking down potential access points to backing up important data<\/strong>, read on to cover your network with the security it needs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
