Routers and switches that use COPS, the common open-policy service, can allow QoS policy to run from the server. Enabling QoS over routers can enhance data streaming by prioritizing data packets through pre-defined policies and conditions. Once you have set priorities, you can prioritize the traffic by distinct services, including applications, web browsing, interfaces and devices with IP and MAC addresses. This will enable network administrators to divide the bandwidth based on the most critical applications available.

The biggest threat to any enterprise’s data is cyber attacks. “Internal attacks are one of the biggest threats facing your data and systems,” says Cortney Thompson, CTO of Green House Data. Many attacks go unnoticed and unreported, with financial impacts from thousands to millions of dollars worth of loss.

In most cases, the common vulnerable points in the network are BYOD devices, such as laptops and USB drives, as well as wireless points and emails. BYOD devices are vulnerable by shadow IT, allowing hackers to exploit weak spots through DoS attacks, email worms.
