Such technology lets enterprises observe and monitor attackers and their methods, acquiring valuable information, and supporting hacker prosecution, while maintaining network security. Safeguard the physical security of key systems. Without adequate security for mission-critical systems, then all is at risk for attack, regardless of other security measures in place. Review Web scripts, particularly active server pages and CGI scripts, for security weaknesses. Examining such applications can help pinpoint vulnerabilities, such as those that may let hackers deviate from the script's intended use.
Hackers often publicize their actions within their community.
By keeping abreast of their movements, network administrators can better understand hacker methods, and ultimately how to prevent attacks. Utilize multiple layers of security. Be aware that a single solution can be compromised, with time. Make attacks harder for hackers with multiple levels of security. For example, you might use access-control lists on a router, a firewall, and a commercial honeypot application for multiple deterrents against attacks.
