Network Access

Network access refers to the ability to access a company network – usually governed by user rights and security measures.

What exactly does network access mean?

Not everyone is permitted to access all systems. Access is strictly controlled, for example through user accounts, passwords or additional security measures such as MFA.

Where do I come across this issue in my day-to-day work?

1. When logging into the company network
2. When accessing internal systems or drives
3. When working from home or on the move

Practical example:

An employee can only access the folders relevant to them. For temporary project access, they are granted additional permissions, which are revoked once the project is complete.

What can I do to improve my safety?

1. Do not share your login details
2. Use only necessary access
3. Report unusual activity or issues

Note: Controlled network access protects sensitive areas of the business from unauthorised access.
