Good security in a networking
environment is a must these days. It begins with a
Corporate Security Policy, and then enforcement of this
policy. Typically based off business needs and
policy, the security policy is the most overlooked piece
of the security puzzle.
Emanon.com believes that due diligence
on security is never really complete. It is an
ongoing evolution, or wheel of progress.
The security wheel involves:
 | Developing a strong security policy |
 | Securing the network as necessary |
 | Monitoring the network and responding
to attacks |
 | Testing existing safeguards and
filters |
 | Analyze and continue to improve
security posture
