Data Protection
Firewalls
These hardware components monitor network traffic for suspicious activity and can either detect or actively block potential security threats. IDS identifies potential security incidents, while IPS takes action to prevent or mitigate them.
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)
These are specialized devices or software applications that monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic. They act as a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks, filtering traffic and preventing unauthorized access.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) Appliances
VPN hardware allows secure remote access to a network, ensuring that data transmitted between remote users and the network remains encrypted and confidential.
Antivirus and Antimalware Software
These applications detect and remove viruses, malware, and other malicious software from devices and networks, preventing potential security breaches.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Software
SIEM tools collect and analyze data from various network sources to identify and respond to security events. They provide real-time insights into network activities and security incidents.
Backup Servers and Storage Devices
These hardware components are responsible for storing backup copies of data. They can include dedicated backup servers, network-attached storage (NAS), or tape drives for archival purposes.
Tape Libraries
Large-scale data backup solutions often utilize tape libraries, which consist of multiple tape drives and automated mechanisms for efficient and secure data storage.
Backup and Recovery Software
Backup software manages the process of creating copies of data and schedules regular backups. It also provides options for data recovery in the event of data loss or corruption.
