CompTIA Network+ N10-008 OBJ 4.3 Network Hardening Techniques part 1

In the N10-008 content for CompTIA Network+, network hardening techniques are explored as essential measures to enhance network security. These techniques involve implementing various security controls and configurations to minimize vulnerabilities and protect against potential threats. The content covers topics such as:

Device hardening: This involves securing network devices by disabling unnecessary services, changing default credentials, applying firmware updates, and implementing access controls.
Access control: Access control mechanisms, such as authentication protocols, strong passwords, and multi-factor authentication, are implemented to ensure only authorized individuals can access network resources.
Firewalls and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS): Firewalls are deployed to monitor and filter incoming and outgoing network traffic, while IPS systems detect and block malicious activities in real-time.
Patch management: Regularly updating and applying security patches to network devices and software helps address known vulnerabilities and protect against exploits.
