Network segmentation is one of the most effective — and most commonly skipped — steps in reducing the blast radius of a security incident. Here's what we typically find during network security consultations.
Flat Networks Are Still Common
Many mid-market companies are still running largely flat networks where a compromised workstation can reach financial systems, servers, and IoT devices with little friction. Segmentation by VLAN and firewall policy limits how far an intrusion can spread.
IoT and Guest Traffic Needs Its Own Lane
Cameras, badge readers, and guest Wi-Fi should never share a broadcast domain with core business systems. This is one of the fastest wins we implement during a network security consultancy engagement.
Segmentation Without Monitoring Is Incomplete
Firewalls between segments are only useful if traffic between them is actually logged and reviewed. Pair segmentation with centralized logging and alerting for real protection.
Start With a Free Network Audit
Before investing in new hardware, it's worth understanding exactly how your network is structured today. Our engineers offer a complimentary audit that maps your current segmentation (or lack of it) and prioritizes next steps.
