NETWORK SECURITY IMPLEMENTATION
Introduction
Network security is a vast topic that comprises of technologies, processes and devices.
It consists of policies and practices that are used to protect the privacy, resources and
network-accessible resources. Network Infrastructure comprises of foundational hardware
used for networking, software resources, services and facilities. Networking software consists
of software abstractions and enables network administrators to manage dynamic networks
more easily. Network Service is an application at the network layer and above for data
storage, communication, manipulation used by implementing client server (Hyde et al. 2014).
Remote Network Access allows individual servers to connect to a private/enterprise network
from a remote location connected to the internet. The network security perimeter consists of
an enterprise and is interconnected. This infrastructure is used for internal/external
communications.

Network Infrastructure:
Network Infrastructure includes the resources hardware and software used to enable
network operations provided by network services that is a category in Information
Technology. This allows devices like routers, hubs, switches to connect, communicate and
form a network (Loch, Carr and Warkentin 2013). The network security perimeter consists of
an enterprise and is interconnected. This Network infrastructure includes the following:
