Network Segmentation
Architect and implement network zones that contain breaches and eliminate lateral movement.
Flat networks give attackers unlimited internal reach once they gain a foothold. Mitigence designs and implements network segmentation architectures — zero trust network access, micro-segmentation, and traditional zone-based controls — calibrated to your environment and operational constraints.
Engagement Phases
Discovery & Network Mapping
3–5 daysMap current network topology, traffic flows, asset classifications, and existing segmentation controls.
Segmentation Architecture Design
4–6 daysDesign target-state zones and trust boundaries based on asset criticality, data classification, and operational requirements.
Firewall & ACL Policy Development
1–2 weeksDevelop detailed firewall rulesets, ACLs, and micro-segmentation policies. Test in a staging environment where possible.
Implementation
1–3 weeksStaged rollout of segmentation controls — minimising operational disruption through phased cutover.
Validation Testing
3–5 daysVerify segmentation controls function as designed through technical testing and lateral movement simulation.
What You Receive
- Current-state network topology and asset map
- Target-state segmentation architecture document
- Firewall and ACL policy set
