Good network security means thinking holistically

Combating hackers is tough. They’re always out there, searching for new ways to attack. But for effective network security, Telecom service providers can learn something from nature. And look at the way that bees protect their hive from bears. Here is the story

SECURITY BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER AN ATTACK

The queen bee is very important. To protect her, the worker bees use a sophisticated defence system.

It starts before an attack happens. As the bees buzz around the hive making the honey for the queen, they’re also keeping an eye out for threats. They spot something heading their way… a bear. The bear walks up to the hive, pawing at it to get at the honey. He’s trying to knock it from the tree.

But the worker bees swarm him to distract him.  And finally, they drive him away. Their queen is safe.

Now it’s time to assess the damage.

And begin repairing the hive. To strengthen it against a future attack.
