Various government agencies and well known organizations have been suffering from continuous cyber attacks. It is good to be in the business of providing network security to these organizations. There are so many technologies involved in network security concept which makes the subject more difficult to understand. A network engineer should have sound knowledge about software configuration, the protocols, services and devices. Should be able to deal with all the issues and troubleshoot effectively.

A network, in computing, is a group of two or more devices that can communicate. In practice, a network is comprised of a number of different computer systems connected by physical and/or wireless connections. The scale can range from a single PC sharing out basic peripherals to massive data centers located around the World, to the Internet itself.

Network security consists of the policies and practices adopted to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security covers a variety of computer networks, both public and private, that are used in everyday jobs; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.

A detailed explanation is given regarding Network Models which includes - OSI Network Models, TCP/IP Models.
