About Security Software
Security software is used to restrict access to data, files, and users on a computer or server. Products include firewalls, antivirus software, anti-spyware, anti-phishing software, LAN/WAN security, data encryption, and wireless network security. Most network security software include packet sniffers and loggers for tracking potentially malicious traffic. These system administration products use a combination of hardware and software to prevent such traffic from entering the network. For example, security specialists often implement firewall server software that is designed to open or close certain ports; configure black, white, and gray lists for email; and act as a DMZ (demilitarized zone) between the Internet and an external network. Wireless networks use a common security software configuration model called wired equivalency privacy (WEP) to prevent hacking into wireless access points and tunneling into wireless network ports.
