Question

What, in your opinion, are the best practices a network security engineer should always follow?

Answer 1

`Hey,

Note: Brother in case of any queries, just comment in box I would be very happy to assist all your queries

1. Establishing and maintaining an information security framework is a great place to start. This framework is more important than every shiny tool in your security stack, as it should align your assurance strategies and support the business.
2. Most enterprises rely on employee trust, but that won’t stop data from leaving the company. The truth is, users steal data. Now, more than ever, it is extremely important to control access, monitor vendors and contractors as well as employees, and know what your users are doing with company data to reduce data leakage.
3. It’s true that employees are your biggest assets, but they can also be your biggest risk. While well-trained users can be your security front line, you still need technology as your last line of defense. Monitoring user activity allows you to detect unauthorized behavior and verify user actions are not violating security policy.
4. Backing up your files may seem like common sense, but any organization that has been hit with ransomware – such as Petya or Wannacry– will tell you how important it is to ensure this best practice. It is crucial for organization to have a full working back up of all of data not only from a basic security hygiene prospective, but also to combat emerging attacks.
