The Importance of Internal Network Security
Many companies are neglecting their internal network security, which can lead to significant vulnerabilities once an attacker penetrates the external attack surface. After gaining access to a network, security professionals often notice numerous accessible shares and ports, making it easy for an intruder to exploit exposed services. To counter this problem, effective internal network control measures need to be in place, and one potential solution is ThreatLocker's Network Control product. This tool simplifies the management of what ports are exposed on various hosts, facilitating better security and control over network access.
