Secure Network Solutions

How to Improve Network Security

Strengthening network security can be done through several strategies. To increase network security without needing additional equipment or significant changes, consider the following tactics:

  • Use Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)– VPNs allow companies to share data securely between those outside of the organization.
  • Implement basic security processes- Every organization should have common network security measures in place including virus protection, password security, and encryption.
  • Monitor regularly- Network infrastructure should be continually reviewed in order to minimize the threat of attacks, and to identify potential vulnerabilities and address them.
  • Promote security awareness training– Organizations taking a proactive approach to network security should periodically educate their staff on the latest security threats and how to prevent and react to them.

How to create a secure network solution

Top Network Setups for Security

Organizations should continue to monitor their network infrastructure and be aware of emerging technologies and hardware offering companies more secure and faster networks. Once the company has determined that their existing network infrastructure needs to be revamped or replaced, they should consider leveraging a network solution optimized for security:

Dark Fiber

Dark fiber is a popular network solution for organizations requiring secure networks because they can lease unlit fiber optic strands to receive a private connection that they own, operate, and maintain. Dark fiber leases have full customization over how secure to make their network by having ownership over the equipment instead of using a third party. In addition, dark fiber connections are separate from main networks, promoting security.

Increase Network Security with a Local Managed Network Services Provider

Local managed network services providers (MNSPs) are uniquely positioned to provide organizations with secure network solutions in the form of managed network setups and on-site support. With the help of a local MNSP, organizations can offload network monitoring and security tasks off their workload to focus on more important IT tasks, as well as add an additional layer of security by hosting networks in offsite locations where only their employees can access.
