Network Security
The goal of network security is to identify threats and prevent them from entering and spreading through the network. Effective network security requires a spectrum of measures, including hardware, software, policy and process.
Together, these elements protect the network itself, and everything connected to it, including data, from unauthorized access, misuse, and modification. From passive attacks like network “wiretapping” and traffic analysis to active ones, such as denial-of-service attacks, effective network security is critical.
Examples of network security measures include access control, antivirus/antimalware software, behavioral analytics, data loss prevention, email security, firewalls, intrusion prevention security, network segmentation, security information and event management, web security and wireless security.
Below, meet UCI’s network security researchers, and a selection of research completed and underway, at UCI today.
