What is Network Security Stack?

The Tools That Make Up Your Network Security Solution

Your 'Security Stack' symbolizes an extensive inventory of various cybersecurity tools that your organization employs to safeguard against cyber threats. It often resembles a layered structure, encapsulating numerous network, endpoint, cloud, and mobile attached utilities that scrutinize network traffic to detect and neutralize potential threats. The key 'Network Security Stack' components include firewalls, network intrusion prevention/detection systems (NIPS/NIDS), secure web gateways (SWG), threat intelligence platforms, and advanced malware analysis platforms. Companies providing technologies for this layer include notable names like Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and NETSCOUT. The security stack's primary objective is to offer a comprehensive view of the tools available and their interactions within your network, promoting informed strategic cybersecurity decisions.
