Additional Controls  Firewalls = We have deployed enterprise-grade firewalls at strategic points within our network infrastructure to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic. The firewalls are configured to enforce strict access control policies, allowing only authorized traffic to pass through while blocking or flagging suspicious or unauthorized connections. We regularly update and patch the firewall systems to ensure they are equipped with the latest security features and defense mechanisms. Intrusion Detection and Prevention - We employ intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor network traffic for potential threats or suspicious activities. These systems employ advanced algorithms and threat intelligence to identify and respond to security incidents promptly. When an intrusion attempt is detected, the IDS/IPS takes immediate action, such as alerting IT or blocking malicious traffic. Any changes to access controls, including the granting or  2.1.6.
