Cyber security breaches can have dangerous and serious ramifications. For example, in October of 2011, an international hacker broke into computer files at the South Carolina Department of Revenue, gaining access to about 3.6 million tax returns. Similarly, in July 2008, a disgruntled San Francisco city administrator locked access to a critical network by resetting administrative passwords to its switches and routers, refusing to divulge them to officials. And did you know that, on average, it takes over 11 months for a company which has experienced a cyber security breach to rebuild their reputation?

To protect your company data and information from hacking, you may want to look into security software, or a network security platform, such as an intrusion prevention system, an intrusion detection system, and an enterprise firewall. An intrusion prevention system and an intrusion detection system are fairly similar in nature. Both an intrusion prevention system and an intrusion detection system are used to detect and prevent security breaches for enterprise networks. Enterprise firewall software has the ability to handle security for a large number of users, so it’s perfect for companies that may require more extensive IT security.

You will also want to look into next generation network security, also known as next gen network security. Next gen security describe securing the current, as well as the future development and architectural evolutions in telecommunication and access networks in order to offer the latest and greatest in enterprise network security. Make sure your computer systems are properly protected. Look in an intrusion prevention system, an intrusion detection system, and an enterprise firewall to protect and secure your company’s data and information
