Securing network components: The practice of implementing security measures on network components, such as routers, firewalls, and servers, to protect against unauthorized access and attacks. This is used to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of networked systems and data. For example, a router may be configured with a firewall to block malicious traffic or a server may be configured with access controls to prevent unauthorized access.
