4. SEGMENT
AND
SEGREGATE
NETWORK
This effort to split a computer network into smaller networks and
enforce rules to control communication possibilities between
devices will slow attackers, thus protecting sensitive information
and services, and improving performance due to less traffic
congestion.
5. IMPLEMENT
APPLICATION
FIREWALL ON
CLIENT
DEVICES
Application firewalls can help control and block unknown traffic
to protect client devices against malicious or unauthorised
incoming network traffic. By doing this, attackers would have

DEVICES
uses host-based intrusion detection/prevention
systems to detect/prevent malicious activities that occur or from
occurring in computer memory.
7. PROTECT WEB

filtering web content and white-listing web domains, users can
protect themselves from the ‘traps’ laid out in the web content
and prevent accidental routing to malicious web domains.
