How to Create a Network Security Diagram

Any organization or individual need to ensure the security of the computer network and software. Network security ensuring, whether it is a local network, or wireless network is important for creating the secure environment of any working processes. A network security system usually consists of many components including Anti-virus and anti-spyware, Firewall, to block unauthorized access to a computer network, Intrusion prevention systems (IPS), to identify fast-spreading threats, such as zero-day or zero-hour attacks, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), to provide secure remote access. The solution provided by ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is intended for quick and easy visualization of computer security systems. It includes 4 stencil libraries containing 460 vector graphics for Network Security Diagrams.

1. Open a ConceptDraw DIAGRAM new document and select the libraries from Network Security Diagrams section. Thus, you have a work-space and a set of corresponding libraries.
2. Add objects to the drawing by dragging them from the libraries panel to the document page.
3. Use Clone tool to quickly add copies of the object. Select an object, and then activate the Clone tool. With each click, you will place a copy of the selection. Press Esc to deactivate the Clone Tool.

4. To add text to an object just click it and then type your text.

5. Connect the objects with smart connectors . To connect elements using this tool, drag the connector from one connect dot to another. You can easily manage connectors' type using the Format panel.

6. You can incorporate the diagram into network documentation pack, or you can share it with stakeholders using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Export options.

Result: You can use a network security diagram to display the network security scheme, helping you to develop and manage the network protection system.
