Networks are fundamental to the operation, security and resilience of many organisations. This guidance provides an introduction to the key topics to consider when designing, maintaining, or using networks that need to be secure and resilient. It will also help you apply the NCSC’s Cyber security design principles to networks. More technical information is provided in the ‘further While some topics covered here are relevant to cloud-based networks, you should refer to the NCSC’s Cloud security guidance for specific information about cloudbased networks. Identifying all the assets that make up your network is a key step towards security and resilience. A common way that an attacker can gain access to a victim's network is through systems on the network that the organisation is not aware of, and therefore are not secured (or decommissioned) appropriately.
