 Network security - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Network security consists of the provisions made in an underlying computer network infrastructure, policies adopted by the network administrator to protect the network and the network-accessible resources from unauthorized access and the effectiveness (or lack) of these measures combined together.
Securing any network infrastructure is like securing possible entry points of attacks on a country by deploying appropriate defense.
The preventive measures attempt to secure the access to individual computers--the network itself--thereby protecting the computers and other shared resources such as printers, network-attached storage connected by the network.
