Virtual Network Technologies in Cybersecurity: An Exploratory Study of Applications and Mechanisms

Abstract

To safeguard the security of computer network information systems and effectively mitigate network information risks—including Trojan viruses and hacker intrusions—it is essential to proactively deploy advanced technological solutions. This article takes virtual network technology as its research focus and provides a concise overview of both virtual network technology and the fundamental importance of computer network security. It further examines the applications of virtual network technology in computer network security across four analytical dimensions: technology types, application scope, practical impact, and effective implementation measures. The objective is to reinforce the stability of computer networks and protect user information security, thereby offering valuable insights for relevant practitioners and stakeholders in the field.
