What is a Network Security Audit?
A network security audit is a risk assessment or review of your network security measures, frameworks and protocols. It is used to assess your current level of defence and identify potential network vulnerabilities, entry points for attacks, and other areas in your security infrastructure that may require improvement. Performing a network security audit is a critical step to understanding how well your organisation is protected against cyber threats – both internal and external. Network security audits are not a one-off activity and should be performed on an ongoing basis to ensure your network security evolves as your business and the threat landscape it operates in changes.

Why Is Network Security So Important?
Nearly all business operations are reliant on digital connectivity in some way. As your network is the foundation of connectivity in business, it is a prime target for hackers. A successful data breach or attack can result in significant financial and reputational loss. That’s why it’s vital to maintain an effective network security infrastructure that detects potential threats and protects your business from a breach.
A network security audit is the best way to get an understanding of your current network security stance so you can take steps to make it stronger. Identify where your weaknesses are, establish the risk level, and develop ways to improve your network security. Detect your risks, correct your risks, and protect your business.
