Network security is the practice of protecting a computer network from unauthorized access, misuse, or attacks. It involves implementing various tools, policies, and protocols to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data transmitted over a network. Key components of network security include firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), virtual private networks (VPNs), and encryption methods. Effective network security is crucial for defending against threats such as hackers, malware, and data breaches.
