Operations in cyber Network security
Nowadays, practically every personal computer is connected in one form or another to a network. There exists of course the biggest network of all —the Internet— but several other types of smaller networks like LANs (local area networks) and enterprise networks also exist. Network operating systems (NOS) serve as gatekeepers to data and applications on all manner of these networks. Network operating systems don't differ too much from the single-processor operating systems almost every computer user is familiar with, says Andrew Tannenbaum in his book "A History of Operating Systems", but they have their own unique, fascinating history. Birth of Networks The concept of data communications between computers began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when researchers began developing a way of connecting computers and exchanging information by way of packets of data. Soon, the concept of a local area network (LAN) took hold, replacing the previous model of a central computing
