SECURITY DEVICES

What are security devices? Benefits that security devices bring

What are security devices? Or what are their benefits? These questions likely need to be clarified. Because information security in the IT field is highly prioritized, good protection of data and information will avoid unnecessary risks for yourself and your business. The article below will explain what information security is and security devices.

Current information security issue in Vietnam

Most Vietnamese users do not understand or are not aware of the role of information security, and that is the reason why thousands of ID cards, certificates, card numbers, along with many scam cases, are publicly exposed.

As technology continues to grow in Vietnam, information security specialists and application developers are tending to adopt new technologies to upgrade the “protective barrier” for individuals/organizations.

In large systems, usually during or after a security incident, the IT Security team can propose incident response measures as well as set up risk management tools to regain control of the situation.

However, that is still not enough. The number of new systems in the market is increasing, while the infrastructure in Vietnam cannot keep up. This is the challenge that security experts are facing.

What is information security?

Information security is probably very familiar to many people. Information security (Information Security) is not simply protecting the personal/organizational information of users but also a series of strategies to prevent unauthorized access and actions related to assets, data, and private information of an organization/individual.

The elements that are essential in the process of information security include:

• Confidentiality: Ensuring the safety of information; those who want to access that information must be granted permission by the information manager.

• Integrity: Protecting the integrity and completeness of a system.

• Accuracy: Information must ensure accuracy, should not appear with discrepancies, and must not violate the content copyright of other related parties.

What are security devices?

Security devices are devices used to prevent attacks from the external Internet into the internal system, protecting privacy and safety for information. They minimize the consequences and risks from targeted attacks, limiting access, modification, and data theft by individuals or organizations.

Benefits that security devices bring

• Protect physical information

• Protect against the risk of information theft

• Protect against the risk of attacks by malware

• Protect in case of security vulnerability attacks

• Protect information from the risk of password cracking

• Protect information from the risk of email-based attacks

• Protect against the risk of information insecurity during data transmission

Using a firewall system to secure

Firewall security devices are proving effective in protecting information security. A firewall monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security policies. With this function, the firewall is considered the first barrier of the network. Specifically, the firewall protects the system based on the following activities:

• Allowing or blocking access from/to the internal environment

• Monitoring network data flows between the internet and the internal network

• Controlling the content of information transmitted on the network

• Detecting and preventing intrusion threats into the internal network

How does a firewall work?

Basically, a firewall is a shield between your computer and the Internet, similar to a security guard that protects you from attackers. When the firewall is operating, it can deny or allow network traffic between devices based on rules that have been configured or set up by a firewall administrator.

There are many personal firewalls such as Windows Firewall, which operate based on a set of preconfigured settings. Therefore, there is no need to worry about how the firewall should be configured. But in a large network, firewall configuration is extremely important to avoid risks and potential network threats.
