How to Leveraging IP Addresses for Enhanced Cybersecurity

1. Network Segmentation

Assign different IP ranges to isolate sensitive areas, enhancing security by limiting lateral movement of attackers.

2. Access Control

Use IP addresses to enforce rules on who can access what, securing resources against unauthorized access.

3. Geolocation Blocking

Block or allow traffic based on geographic origin, preventing attacks from high-risk locations.

4. Intrusion Detection and Prevention

Identify suspicious activities by monitoring traffic from specific IPs, enabling proactive threat mitigation.

5. Whitelisting and Blacklisting

Create lists of trusted and untrusted IPs to control network access, reducing the potential for breaches.

6. Log Analysis

Examine logs for abnormal patterns from specific IPs, aiding in the early detection of potential threats.

7. Directing Traffic for Analysis

Route traffic through security devices using IP addresses, allowing for detailed inspection and threat identification.
