Week 4 Podcast

Hello everyone, and welcome to the podcast on network security. In our increasingly connected world, the protection of computer networks against growing threats and attacks is paramount. Two fundamental technologies in this defense are firewalls and IPsec gateways, both relying on security policies to control traffic and maintain network safety. However, the complexity of these policies can lead to misconfigurations and inconsistencies, creating vulnerabilities that are often difficult to detect and can compromise entire systems. In this series, we'll explore the critical aspects of security policy management for firewalls and IPsec, delving into the challenges of identifying and resolving conflicts within these essential security mechanisms.
