Network Security Risks

The open architecture of Internet Protocol (IP) makes it a highly efficient, cost-effective, and flexible communications protocol for local and global communications. It has been widely adopted, not only on the global Internet, but also on the internal networks of large corporations.

Internet Protocol was designed to be highly reliable against random network errors. However, it was not designed to be secure against a malicious attacker. In fact, it is vulnerable to a number of well-known attacks. This is preventing it from being used to its fullest for business and other purposes involving confidential or mission-critical data.
