What is the difference between network security and infrastructure security?

IT infrastructure refers to the composite hardware, software, network resources and services required for the existence, operation and management of an enterprise IT environment. It allows an organization to deliver IT solutions and services to its employees, partners and/or customers and is usually internal to an organization and deployed within owned facilities.


Network security is any activity designed to protect the usability and integrity of your network and data. It includes both hardware and software technologies. Effective network security manages access to the network. It targets a variety of threats and stops them from entering or spreading on your network.

I think infrastructure is top of the network security. If you are securing infrastructure than your network will automatically will be secure.
If you are in infrastructure environment than securing only the network will not secure the whole infrastructure.
