How Is Cloud Security Different from Network Security?
Network security refers to securing the perimeter of a data center, and the movement of data inside or outside the data center. This entails using network infrastructure and access controls to manage data flow and prevent digital threats from entering the network. A key example of network security is the use of firewalls to restrict access to specific network ports. But networking is just one piece of the equation and cloud computing encompasses the full gamut of devices, data, and software. Businesses and cloud architects need a robust and secure network perimeter, but there will always be in
Remote monitoring and management tools continuously monitor every physical and virtual element of a distributed IT environment to help safeguard device and network performance, security, and availability. The RMM process typically works as follows: RMM software agents are installed on devices or cloud integrations.
The agents continuously gather information on hardware health, software status, network performance, and security events.
Collected data is transmitted securely to a central RMM platform console where it’s aggregated, organized, and monitored.
The RMM platform analyzes the inc
