Description: Local Area Network (LAN) Security refers to the measures implemented to protect a local area network from unauthorized access and abuse. This includes the use of firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access policies that limit connectivity to authorized devices and users. Security in network devices and systems plays a crucial role, as the operating systems and software of devices connected to the LAN must be properly configured to avoid vulnerabilities. The Zero Trust strategy, which assumes that no entity inside or outside the network is trusted by default, is applied to reinforce security by requiring continuous authentication and authorization. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is another important facet, ensuring that sensitive information is not disclosed or transferred without authorization. In the cloud context, security posture management becomes essential, as organizations must continuously assess and manage their security in cloud environments. Cryptography is also fundamental, as it protects information in transit and at rest, ensuring that only authorized users can access the data. Together, these measures create a secure environment that protects the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data in a local area network.
