Network Security Model

The network security involves all tools, devices, strategies and activities which enterprises and organizations undertake to protect their networks, data and operations. An effective network security strategy must include the most effective set of tools for identification and reflection various threats and attacks. Creation of well thought-out network security model will effectively help you in realization your network's security. The network security model (NSM) is a scheme that reflects the general plan and the policy of ensuring the network security, and usually includes all or some of the following seven layers in different modifications according to the specific company's needs:

Physical layer — involves organization of physical security against the access to the data on computer devices, this can be access control devices, cameras, alarm.
VLAN layer — involves creation of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) which join together common hosts for security purposes.
ACL layer — supposes creation and maintenance of Access Control Lists (ACLs) which allow or deny the access between hosts on different networks.
User layer — involves the user’s training of security on the network.
Administrative layer — supposes the training of administrative users.
IT department layer — this layer is the most important for network security, it contains all network security professionals and support specialists, network technicians and architects, which organize and maintain the work of the network and hosts.

Pay please your attention for the powerful ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Network Security Diagrams Solution from the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park which lets fast and easy design all variety of network security models: Open network security model, Closed network security model, Restrictive network access model.

Example 1. Network Security Model

To design the Network Security Model, we recommend to use already ready-to-use 460 predesigned colorful vector objects offered by 4 libraries of the Network Security Diagrams Solution:

Cybersecurity Clipart
Cybersecurity Shapes
Cybersecurity Connectors
Cybersecurity Round Icons

Simply drag desired objects from the libraries to your document, arrange them, depict relationships between devices with help of connectors from the Cybersecurity Connectors library, type the text and make your diagram more attractive with help of bright colors applied for objects, connectors and background.

A list of parameters on which networks differ is very long. A large network with a range up to 50 kilometers is called metropolitan area network (MAN), and this type of network can include several local area networks. Metropolitan networks in their turn connect into global area networks. Here you will see a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). This is an extensive network which occupies a large territory including a few buildings or even the whole city. The space of the MAN is bigger than LAN, but lower than WAN. MAN comprise a lot of communication equipment and delivers the Internet connection to the LANs in the city area. Computer and Networks solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM provides a set of libraries with ready-to-use vector objects to design various kinds of computer networks.

Any business process consists from a number of tasks carrying out the certain business goal. It is useful to diagram business processes to ensure that they are as foolproof, logical and sequential as possible. This business process diagram describes a typical booking process flow by the example of a cab booking process. It can be used as a roadmap for any booking system implementation. Diagramming a business process allows you to look at the entire project and take into account all types of possible scenarios. Business process diagram helps you investigate and clarify the process thoroughly so that you can find out how it can be improved. Business process diagram supports team communications by ensuring that each process element is clear and everyone in the team is on the same page. Sometimes your company brings you less profit than you expect it to be, and it’s difficult to reveal the causes. Maybe it’s time to learn new technologies, because business diagram are easily developed by means of special software, so you won’t make any extra effort. In return, you will increase your productivity and get more done in a less time. Business Diagram Software *

Network infrastructure planning is a very important process in the network construction, and the share of time allocated to this within the scope of the entire project may reach 60-80%. A competent and thorough approach to planning contributes to the quick investment return, and also increases the reliability and flexibility of the final system, reducing the probability of additional costs related to the incorrect implementation. Any planning begins with an analysis of the business requirements to the final system. Basic network parameters, which should be assessed are the scalability, accessibility, cost, speed and safety. Speed and cost are often mistaken for the most important parameters, and the rest of the parameters aren't even remembered. This is not entirely correct. Initially, it is necessary to assess the business plans for the future, because sometimes it is more profitable to invest more money in the beginning. If the business is to develop, then, consequently, demands on

Local area network connects computers and other network appliances within an area, such as office building or a campus. It can be difficult to provide such network without a predesigned plan. For these purposes you can use network diagram software, which helps you to create LAN network diagrams and office network diagrams quickly and effortless. This will speed up your work and you can save the diagram for the future network improvements. The following diagram illustrates a network topology of the small office. LAN configuration has a star topology. The local network joins 8 computers among which are several desktop PCs, laptop, two iMacs and iBook. The end-point devices are divided into three groups. Each group is connected to its hub. There is a network printer and a modem, which are interconnected with other devices through a network server. Each computer on the LAN can access the server through a corresponding hub.
