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.
  • Software layer — helps to protect the user layer and ensures the software's actuality.
  • 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.

Network Security 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.

TEN RELATED HOW TO's:
Creating a detailed network plan can cause a lot of headache to an unexperienced user. And it is worth mentioning that ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a decent tool for creating a network diagram, a tool that is easy-to-use. To get an accurate diagram use the vector shapes from the special libraries that represent workstations, network appliances, wiring systems and connect them with smart-connectors, just as simple as that. This communication network diagram displays the way different components of a computer network communicate with each other. When representing network information, such as depicting all the equipment in a large network, it is helpful to make visual representation. Network diagram provides an easy way to show the way the connections between an equipment in a large network. This diagram of a communication network depicts a network composed of three sub-networks. It uses a network equipment symbols to represent the different devices that make up a network communication including routers, Ethernet devices and end-point equipment.ConceptDraw DIAGRAM <br> Network Diagram Tool *

It’s very important for any establishment to have a fire exit plan and to train it several times a year. The plan must be put on each floor of the building in a way that it could be easily seen. To make the plan clear and descriptive, you should look through examples and then create one for you your building. Find out the fire exit plan example created with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and its Fire and Emergency Plans solution. This plan is a floor plan that shows the ways in which people inside the building can be evacuated in the event of a fire. The location of telephones, fire extinguishers and first aid kits are indicated on the fire exit plan. The Legend in the lower right corner of the plan makes it clear and easy-to-read. Such plan should be placed on the wall on each floor of the building.Fire Exit Map Example

In general, you can use any icons to represent network equipment on a diagram. However, there are some icons, for instance, Cisco icons, shapes, stencils and symbols, that are recognizable worldwide. Using those icons you can create Cisco network topology diagrams in minutes and share them anywhere. The icons depicting Cisco network equipment are recognized and generally applied as standard images for designing network diagrams. They are free to used , but can not be reworked. Cisco network diagrams are created to depict how signals processed on the network equipment and end-user computers and how data transfer through LAN or WLAN between nodes. The vector graphic library of ConceptDraw CISCO Network Diagrams solution includes about 90 icons of Cisco network equipment for designing computer network diagrams with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM.Cisco Network Topology. <br>Cisco icons, shapes, stencils and symbols *

When talking about engineering, one should define all the terms used, so anybody could understand the topic. Typical network glossary contains definitions of numerous network appliances, types of networks and cable systems. The understanding of basic is crucial for server management, network administration and investigating problems. The network glossary defines terms related to networking and communications. The most of glossary items has their visual representation in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM libraries of the Computer Network Diagrams solution. This illustration presents a local area network (LAN) diagram. It designed to show the way the interaction of network devices in a local network. The diagram uses a library containing symbols of network equipment, connections and the end-point devices such as network printer, hubs, server, modem and finally computers (PC, mac, laptop). This diagram depicts a physical LAN topology.Network Glossary Definition *

Energy Pyramid Diagram is a visual graphical representation of the biomass productivity on the each trophic level in a given ecosystem. Its designing in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM will not take much time thanks to the unique Pyramid Diagrams solution from the Marketing area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. Energy Pyramid Diagram begins from the producers (plants) and proceeds through a few trophic levels of consumers (herbivores which eat these plants, the carnivores which eat these herbivores, then carnivores which eat those carnivores, and so on) to the top of the food chain.Energy Pyramid Diagram *
