In today’s connected world, networks play a critical role in supporting the operations of organizations. However, with the increasing reliance on technology, comes the need for robust security measures to protect sensitive information and systems from cyber threats.
Network segmentation is a security technique that divides a network into smaller, isolated sections, or segments, to limit the scope of potential damage in case of a security breach.
The underlying infrastructure of an organization must be protected with unique security controls, which can be broadly categorized as Network Security Solutions. These solutions are designed to secure the environment against unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of critical assets and systems.
As Network and IT infrastructure serves as the backbone for business operations, securing it is essential for the smooth functioning and stability of the organization. Neglecting the security of this infrastructure can result in devastating consequences, including data breaches, service disruptions, and financial losses. To prevent such incidents, it is imperative to invest in robust network security solutions.
By implementing network segmentation, organizations can improve the security of their networks, reduce the risk of data breaches, and ensure that critical systems remain operational in the event of an attack. With its ability to enhance security and reduce risk, network segmentation is an essential component of a comprehensive security strategy.
Leveraging granular application-specific security policies, Next Generation Firewalls help in detecting application-specific attacks. Some of the features offered by NGFW are Stateful Inspection, Application Awareness, Intrusion Protection System (IPS), Multiple Functioning Modes, User Identity Awareness, and the ability to leverage external real-time updates from intelligence sources.
An effective NGFW solution deployed in any related use cases must be able to apply advanced application layer security with minimal impact on network performance. It should provide visibility and control across various environments (on-premises DCs, co-location sites, public clouds, etc.), as well as visibility of users, applications, and devices.
An NGFW must be able to adapt to various segmentation techniques. It should be able to communicate with third-party security solutions to share threat intelligence, and also provide content inspection and automated threat protection.
Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) offers threat protection against advanced and evasive targeted attacks. Using a combination of technologies such as deep packet inspection, threat reputation, and advanced malware analysis, it provides enterprises with a proactive approach to security.
It also provides virtual patching for business applications that are hard to patch or can’t be patched, ensuring protection against vulnerabilities without interrupting operations.
A NGIPS should be able to provide contextual awareness and find stealthy botnets, worms, and reconnaissance attacks hiding across the network landscape.
Micro-segmentation gives greater control over the growing amount of east-west or lateral communication that occurs between servers. In the event of a breach, micro-segmentation limits potential lateral exploration of networks by attackers.
With micro-segmentation, one can create policies that limit network and application flows between workloads to those that are explicitly permitted. This is a critical aspect of the Zero-Trust Security model.
Micro-segmentation also provides a granular view of network traffic and gives administrators greater visibility and control over the data that flows across. This technique reduces the risk of an organization’s entire workloads getting compromised in the event, hence reducing the attack surface.
Email is one of the most used attack vectors to spread malware, spam and phishing attacks. Attackers use deceptive messages to lure recipients to reveal sensitive information, open attachments or click on hyperlinks that install malware on the victim’s device. It is also a common entry point for attackers looking to gain a foothold in an enterprise network and obtain valuable company data.
A secure email gateway scans and processes all incoming and outgoing email and makes sure that threats are not allowed in. Taking a multilayered approach is necessary to protect against today’s sophisticated attacks.
The solution should be capable of protecting against impersonation, CEO fraud and business email compromise which are rampant, thus preventing reputation and monetary loss.
A secure web gateway protects users from web-based threats in addition to applying and enforcing corporate acceptable use policies.
A Secure Web Gateway provides URL filtering, web visibility, malicious content inspection, web access controls and prevents users from exfiltrating sensitive data. Instead of connecting directly to a website, a user accesses the SWG, which is then responsible for connecting the user to the desired website. Individual users are allocated time quotas or schedules while browsing the internet to ensure maximum productivity.
Secure SD-WAN combines the SD-WAN feature and security features together. This would include the best-of-breed next-generation firewall security, SD-WAN, advanced routing, and WAN optimization to deliver a security-driven WAN edge.
Secure SD-WAN solutions help in lowering cost at the WAN Edge due to convergence. They also provide better security at the WAN Edge while providing greater performance.
Organization’s perimeter is becoming fuzzy and distributed. With growing remote working and distributed working adoptions, solutions like Secure SD-WAN are required to keep both your assets and users secure.
We can gain visibility to apply detection and protection against the most advanced and evasive threats, including zero-day attacks within your network using Network Detection & Response solutions.
NDR solutions use a combination of signature-less advanced analytical techniques such as machine learning, to detect suspicious network activity. They aim to stop attack activity in progress before it can result in harm and rely on a network or virtual tap for analysis of traffic across on-premises and cloud workloads.
NDR solutions support rapid investigation, internal visibility, intelligent response, and enhanced threat detection across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Since they tap the traffic, any device that communicates across the network can be immediately discovered.
Secure Remote Access can be a tool or a combination of tools and processes that define and control the access of an individual or device to the services. It enables organizations to apply least privilege and audit controls to all remote access from employees, contractors, consultants and customers. A robust, secure remote access solution based on Zero Trust Network Access architecture is designed to provide highly secure access to your enterprise applications and data.
DDI is a collective reference term that covers Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and IP address management (IPAM). DDI is now more prominent due to movement to cloud, higher degree of digitization and ever changing security landscape. A DDI solution helps simplify and automate management of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM. These capabilities enable organizations to effectively cope with ever-increasing volumes of IP addresses and business dependency on core network services from a centralized console.
In today’s digital age, where cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated and frequent, network segmentation is a must-have component of a comprehensive security strategy.
By investing in network segmentation, organizations can ensure the protection of their critical systems, assets, and information, and maintain the stability of their operations.
