  • The Purpose of Installing Network Security Equipment

    The Purpose of Installing Network Security Equipment

    Network security devices are hardware or virtual appliances designed to protect computer networks from unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks. They include firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, VPN gateways, and other tools that safeguard data across network. This guidance provides an introduction to the key topics to consider when designing, maintaining, or using networks that need to be secure and resilient. It will also help you apply the NCSC's Cyber security design principles to networks. It ensures systems remain confidential, available, and trustworthy across all digital environments. ZTNA is becoming the standard for distributed organizations and remote operations. For many commercial networks, this looks like a dedicated room outfitted with high-performance servers and equipment racks with complex cabling.

  • Splitter Loss and its Impact on Network Speed

    Splitter Loss and its Impact on Network Speed

    Splitters turn one Ethernet connection into two by splitting the signal, but they halve the current signal instead of doubling it. This is particularly useful in homes or offices where there are more devices than available Ethernet ports on the router. An Ethernet splitter can drop your network speed from gigabit (1000 Mbps) down to. Splitting a single coaxial cable line to connect multiple devices like a cable modem and a television set is a common practice. This process involves inserting a passive splitter into the line, which physically divides the signal path.
