ABSTRACT
An organization must have provisions for network security
to protect its assets. Appropriate network security identi-
fies and protects against threats to people, processes, tech-
nologies, and facilities. It can minimize or mitigate
exposures to the organization that could be exploited by a
knowledgeable insider or a malicious outsider. It suggests
appropriate safeguards designed to promote long-term,
continuous function of the environment. For some organi-
zations, the law mandates it.
