LAN security solutions are primarily focused on securing a Local Area Network by means of secure configuration of network devices through protocols and security technology. This includes ensuring secure network equipment is configured to block attacks aimed at compromising data or disabling it, preventing unauthorised users access to the network and ensuring that the network is able to combat attacks that exploit weaknesses in LAN protocols.
Some of the many examples of security services that can be deployed includes firewall solutions, port security, DHCP snooping, ARP protect, dynamic IP lockdown and IPv6 RA Guards.
