  • Abstract:
  • In this paper, the field of network security is examined as a cornerstone in protecting sensitive data and information from today’s digital scalpel. With a tremendous growth of cyber threats and data breaches occurring today, organizations are badly bruised in protecting their digitized assets. The study draws on a balanced approach to the analysis of primary and secondary data that examine the development of network security frameworks, present-day vulnerabilities, and the efficacy of measures put in place for their protection. The study concluded that multiple security layers-Multilayer security technology for protection of business data; security policy to ensure enforcement of program; and training of employees-would keep risk of data breaches low. Security monitoring/compliance and system updates are crucial to a strong network defense mechanism. The findings indicate that network security is no longer a technology issue. Rather, it has relevance in business strategy that calls for funding and commitment in order to ensure organizational integrity and stakeholder trust in a rapidly connecting digital ecosystem.
