The tools also depend upon physical controls that should also be implemented against malicious physical access to destroy or compromise networking equipment such as routers, cables, switches, firewalls, and other networking appliances. Better network security access controls can improve security and decrease cost and risk.

Network Security Users are accountable for proper network segmentation, firewalls, and intrusion detection/prevention systems. Access restrictions, network settings, and security group rules are all at risk of misconfiguration. This best practice decreases the danger of prospective attackers exploiting known vulnerabilities.
