Network Segmentation

Intelligent network design, user based zero trust implementation.

WHAT WE DO

Improve security with an intelligent network design

We build secure and resilient networks to protect sensitive data and critical assets. By dividing networks into isolated segments, we limit unauthorized access, reduce attack surfaces, and mitigate potential threats and potential impact.

Our intelligent network design and tailored approach consider the needs of business and IT stakeholders, by enhancing system performance, preventing complexity and strengthening regulatory compliance.

HOW WE DO IT

User-based zero trust implementation

Our experts keep the end user in mind when designing solutions. Measures must be relevant and effective. This way we prevent unnecessary hassle for business users while minimizing the impact of cyber-attacks and insider threats.

By isolating different network zones, we give attackers a significantly harder time moving across systems and prevent lateral movement of malware within the network. If one segment is compromised, attackers are prevented from easily infiltrating the entire network – limiting damage and helping with faster threat resolution.

We analyze network traffic patterns, access points, and critical assets to determine the optimal segmentation approach. Based on Zero-Trust principles we then define security

zones to create effective security boundaries, including strict identity verification and least-privilege access across network segments. Access control lists (ACL), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and network access controls (NAC) are configured to regulate data flow between segments.

Inside the segments, we apply all relevant security measures needed to bring down risk and potential impact toward an acceptable level while preventing too much complexity and cost.

Improved network performance

By segmenting high-demand applications and databases and isolating traffic, we prevent excessive bandwidth consumption from affecting other business-critical functions. This improves the performance and reliability of applications, creating a better user experience for business users.

For IT users, our network designs and our governance and policy standards improve operational efficiency – as they make it easier to manage the network, troubleshoot network issues and respond faster in the event of a security incident or system failure.

Enhanced governance and compliance

We consider relevant regulatory frameworks that mandate strict separation of sensitive data, to ensure privacy and reduce the risk of data leaks. We design our standards to be aligned with industry security standards and regulations.

Using access control and policy enforcement standards, we implement role-based access controls to ensure users can easily access the necessary resources while preventing excessive privileges and unauthorized access attempts.
