Network security broadly encompasses the various methods and technologies used to protect network infrastructure and the data that flows through it from unauthorized access, misuse and theft.

Spanning the entire connected infrastructure, from core applications and systems to the very edge of the IT perimeter, network security is essential for any organization that relies on its network for operations, services or communication. It involves using software, hardware, policies and processes to protect against external cyber attacks, and ensuring authorized users have secure access to work effectively. 

With decades of experience in network infrastructure and design, WWT has deep insight into how to defend against threats both known and unknown.

Network observability involves gaining deep visibility into network activities to enable proactive management, swift anomaly detection and efficient troubleshooting. In the process of designing, configuring, monitoring and maintaining network devices and services, communication and data should be exchanged in a secure environment. This ensures the availability, performance, security and scalability of the network infrastructure, which supports the critical functions and operations of an organization. It also helps prevent adversaries from exploiting vulnerable network services and access points, while reducing the impact of incidents in case of a compromise.

• Network detection and response (NDR) uses artificial intelligence, machine learning and behavioral analytics to better identify anomalies and suspicious patterns that indicate known or unknown attacks.
