By definition, network security describes the technical and organizational protection of the internal IT infrastructure with all its data, systems, devices, and applications to enable secure digitalization. These security mechanisms not only protect the data center, but also all locations and the cloud itself. Effective network security fends off unauthorized access, data manipulation or data theft with blackmail, system paralysis (DDoS attacks), and other damage caused by hackers, malware, and viruses.
It ensures that data is exchanged confidentially and with integrity and is always available via VPN (Virtual Private Networks) or ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access). However, secure networks are created primarily through comprehensive information on network security and network protection, as well as targeted measures to enforce cyber protection policies at all levels. The best way to get started right now is with LANCOM insider knowledge on the subject of network security!
Cloud-managed security
As the central management instance, the LANCOM Management Cloud automates and simplifies the management, configuration, and monitoring of your Unified Firewalls, e.g. to administer Application Management and firmware updates. The automatic setup of VPN connections between all sites (Auto-VPN) is just as easy as the integration of new firewalls via a secure pairing process as well as the replacement of firewalls including complete configuration.

Types of cyber attacks and protective measures
Network threats are any hazard that can compromise a network or the data it contains. In many cases, the resulting loss can lead to serious consequences for the company affected. Learn more about the nature of the most widespread network threats currently around and how you can circumvent and combat them.
