Error Detection in cybersecurity refers to techniques that enable reliable delivery of digital data over unreliable communication channels, protecting the integrity of the data. Many communication channels are subject to channel noise, and these errors may be introduced during transmission from the source to a receiver. Error detection techniques allow detecting such errors, while error correction enables reconstruction of the original data in most cases.
Error Detection is an essential part of TCP/IP communications that ensures what you send from point A arrives at point B reliably and accurately without loss of content or data. Over-prescribed networks, or excessively large flat networks can lead to the need for more Error correction than is appropriate. If you find your network communications slow down during peak periods, it may be time for a network engineer to come and examine the networks performance. Managed Service Providers are an excellent source for such audits. They can also examine your Wi-Fi networks to determine coverage and a host of other helpful things.
A solid network with good segmentation and few errors detected, can help your cybersecurity program immensely. CyberHoot would be remiss if we didn’t mention a variety of other defense-in-depth measures you should consider for your company’s protection. A risk assessment is a great way to determine gaps in your cybersecurity program. Once you’ve determined your gaps, you can plan how to spend your finite time and money addressing them. CyberHoot recommends your risk assessment examines whether you’re doing the following best practices:
