  • Abstract
    Modern IT managers need to focus on commonsense network security concepts. A primary goal of information security is to limit data access to only authorized individuals.To control network access and properly assign workstations to the proper domain, each port in the enterprise need to be controlled. Another commonsense security concept that organizations have tried to adopt is a password policy. Good password policies can dramatically slow down attackers and their ability to use stolen credentials.
