What type of ssharable hardwares can you recommend to a network providing company
Answers
Answer:
Network infrastructure devices are the components of a network that transport communications needed for data, applications, services, and multi-media. These devices include routers, firewalls, switches, servers, load-balancers, intrusion detection systems, domain name systems, and storage area networks.
These devices are ideal targets for malicious cyber actors because most or all organizational and customer traffic must pass through them.
An attacker with presence on an organization’s gateway router can monitor, modify, and deny traffic to and from the organization.
An attacker with presence on an organization’s internal routing and switching infrastructure can monitor, modify, and deny traffic to and from key hosts inside the network and leverage trust relationships to conduct lateral movement to other hosts.
Organizations and individuals that use legacy, unencrypted protocols to manage hosts and services make successful credential harvesting easy for malicious cyber actors. Whoever controls the routing infrastructure of a network essentially controls the data flowing through the network.
Physical Separation of Sensitive Information
Traditional network devices, such as routers, can separate Local Area Network (LAN) segments. Organizations can place routers between networks to create boundaries, increase the number of broadcast domains, and effectively filter users’ broadcast traffic. Organizations can use these boundaries to contain security breaches by restricting traffic to separate segments and can even shut down segments of the network during an intrusion, restricting adversary access.
