Network access control is a matter of interest for each single software company. In XTRF Management Systems Ltd., a set of rules is introduced to bolster the security of a proprietary network.
Topic | Description |
|---|---|
FIREWALLS | The firewalls are configured to avoid security issues. By default, all network traffic is blocked. Explicitly, only specific traffic to known services is allowed. This strategy provides good control over the traffic and reduces the possibility of a breach because of service misconfiguration. |
NETWORK MONITORING | The network and all critical hosts are actively monitored for intrusions by an intrusion detection system. |
INTERNAL NETWORK SEGMENTS | The internal network segments, the demilitarized zone (DMZ), is segregated from the Internet network. The separate VLANs are introduced for each category of network. The firewall is set up to control the inter-VLAN traffic. |
