Enterprise security involves the various technologies, tactics, and processes used to protect digital assets against unauthorized use, abuse, or infiltration by threat actors. Enterprise security includes the protection of data as it flows across networks, including those connecting satellite offices and those that tie data into the general internet.
Enterprise security systems also cover the people and policies that organizations use to secure their network infrastructure, including assets such as devices and various endpoints. Because enterprise security needs to focus on maintaining the security posture of a company within the confines of the law, it also takes into consideration the legal structures that apply to an organization’s data.
