Network Segmentation

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the most widely used security protocol on the Internet. It is a technology that establishes an encrypted link between a server and a client, ensuring that all data passed between them remains private and secure. It works by verifying the identity of each end using digital certificates issued by Certificate Authorities, to ensure secure communication between the two. SSL is mainly used for e-commerce websites to ensure safe online transactions for their customers. It can also be used to secure email servers, webmail services, instant messaging applications and other online communication services. Additionally, SSL helps protect against cyber attacks as it provides encryption and authentication capabilities that help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. By providing data encryption and authentication measures, SSL can help protect organizations from malicious attempts to compromise networks or harvest data.

802.1x Access Control List (ACL) is a security protocol that enables secure access to networks, devices and applications. It is used to control access by allowing or denying certain types of traffic at the user level. ACLs can be used to identify, authenticate and authorize users, allowing them access only to specific resources they are authorized to use. It helps protect against unauthorized access, data theft and malicious activity on networks. Use of 802.1x ACL provides an extra layer of protection for data and resources within a network environment.

IP tracking, also known as IP grabbing, extracts the IP addresses of unknowing users with third-party services. Malicious individuals can manipulate IP addresses to affect users' access to websites and online content.

IP stands for Internet Protocol, which is the set of rules that makes it possible for devices to communicate over the Internet. With billions of people accessing the Internet every day, unique identifiers are necessary to keep track of who is doing what. The Internet Protocol solves this by assigning IP numbers to every device accessing the Internet. Every assigned number is an IP address.

A Firewall is a tool for securing a computer or network environment. It acts as a barrier between the internal and external networks, preventing malicious traffic from entering the network while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through. Firewalls are used to protect valuable data from unauthorized access, detect and prevent attacks, and ensure that only approved users can access restricted areas. Firewalls use various technologies such as packet filtering, application gateway security, URL filtering, etc., to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic. To use a firewall effectively, it must be properly configured according to the specific needs of the organization.
