Network segmentation: clear boundaries, secure networks
Cyber attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, data protection regulations stricter, and business processes more complex. A proactive security strategy is more important than ever. Network segmentation optimizes your network architecture while strengthening defense against external threats: It maximizes security and efficiency of your network, strengthens the entire network structure while optimizing performance through intelligent resource management.
Expertise and Experience:
Trust in our expertise and project experience. We rely on the best practices we have gathered over the years and the latest technologies to comprehensively protect your network.
Long-term partnership:
As your reliable partner for network security, we offer ongoing support and consulting in addition to implementation and design to keep your network constantly up to date.
Cost and time savings:
We will be happy to efficiently implement the network segmentation strategy in your company together with you. This saves you time and costs compared to implementation by your own IT team.
Network access under control: Maximum security through segmentation
The "Trust no one, verify everything" approach of Zero Trust is now considered best practice for modern IT security strategies. Network segmentation is an essential part of this strategy. Because access is kept to a minimum and every connection is monitored.
Through network segmentation, companies divide their networks into several small, isolated, secure areas. This way, network segmentation creates a flexible and future-proof IT infrastructure that makes your company agile and adaptable:
- Access Control
- Through granular control of network access, you have the ability to precisely control communication within your network, thereby preventing unauthorized access and reducing the attack surface on the respective IT systems.
- Compliance
- Network segmentation facilitates compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR and ISO 27001, as well as industry-specific standards like KRITIS and TISAX. As a clearly demonstrable security measure, it is often a central component in audits and helps you effectively minimize legal and financial risks.
- Protection of sensitive data
- You can store critical business data in specially secured segments to prevent unauthorized access.
- Overview & Visibility
- Network segmentation creates a central monitoring point that monitors and logs data traffic. This provides you with an overview and deeper understanding of the existing network communication between network segments.
- Risk minimization
- You can monitor each individual segment of your network individually. IT systems are separated from each other based on their security rating and functionality, allowing potential vulnerabilities to be specifically isolated. This enables more effective control of security gaps.
- Mitigation of Attacks
- A segmentation strategy can limit the damage during a security incident to the directly affected network segment. It cannot spread to the entire network and can be quickly remedied.
Customized Security: Our Planning and Implementation Process
You will not receive a prefabricated solution from us. Because every network is unique. We closely examine each company and its network and develop a network segmentation strategy tailored to you.
Planning and Preparation
By analyzing your specific needs and conducting a thorough assessment of your network structure, we create a solid foundation for the project goals and further steps.
Network Architecture Design
Based on the initial analysis, we design a customized network architecture that is secure and flexible at the same time, ensuring future adjustments won't be an issue.
Implementation
We always strive to implement the architecture with minimal disruption to your ongoing operations. We work closely with your IT team during this process.
Training and Workshops
To ensure your team always knows what's happening in the network segments, we offer training and workshops for knowledge transfer.
Monitoring and Management
After implementation, we can take over the monitoring of network segments and troubleshooting if desired.
Audit and Optimization
Through regular audits, we gladly check the effectiveness of network segmentation and make adjustments regularly - always based on the latest security trends and technological developments.
FAQ
-
What is network segmentation?
Network segmentation involves dividing a network into several smaller, isolated network segments. This allows companies to better monitor and protect individual areas of their network, which significantly enhances the security of the overall network.
-
Why is network segmentation important for my company?
Network segmentation is an important component in protecting your IT infrastructure from cyber attacks, improves network management, and supports compliance with data protection regulations through targeted access controls and enhanced monitoring.
-
How does network segmentation affect network performance?
Through segmentation, network resources can be allocated more efficiently. This can improve overall performance. At the same time, the risk of performance bottlenecks is reduced by isolating network areas.
-
How does network segmentation affect security?
Critical network resources can be separated from less secure areas. This helps companies reduce exposure to potential attacks. In addition, more specific monitoring and control of data traffic within and between segments is possible.
