Port Security
- Port security refers to securing access points, whether wired or wireless, on network devices like switches. It is used to control and restrict access to network ports, ensuring only authorized devices can connect.
- Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is commonly used for port-based network access control, integrating with 802.1X to provide secure authentication for devices attempting to connect to the network.
- Kerberos, though primarily an authentication protocol for network services, can also be used alongside port security mechanisms for authenticating devices and users in a secure environment.
