Silence on the Wire

Prevention of Attacks

These problems are often difficult to solve, particularly in a network that was not firmly and closely supervised through all phases of its development and expansion. Although certain high-end devices provide extended security features to counter potential attack vectors and mitigate or eliminate some of the risks, Ethernet networks were not designed to provide security, nor were many of the smart devices created to manage these networks. The attacker can easily render some or all of their features useless and downgrade the network security model to the least desirable option.

Although there are methods and rigid practices to follow in order to secure a local Ethernet network, the complexity of this process and the additional ...
