Network Architecture Review

Securis360 will assess the current network architecture of the organization and the placement of various components of the architecture. As part of this activity, Securis360 will:

Securis360 will

Pre-requisites

  • Conduct discussion with the identified stakeholders to get an initial understanding of the IT landscape.
  • Obtain the network architecture and IT network diagrams.
  • Obtain details of the network products, security products and technologies deployed.
  • Obtain details on current segregation of networks and flow of data between networks.

Study & Analyze

  • Study network layout and its design.
  • Understand and analyse the ‘correctness’ of the placement of such components.

Review

  • Review the overall IT landscape for appropriate network segmentation, placement of point security devices and appropriateness of trust relationships / domain membership.
  • Review controls implemented related to remote connectivity for work from home scenario
  • Review the rule base of the filtering devices / applications (firewalls, host-based filters, wrappers etc) that segregate the various network segments.
  • Review the extent of physical segregation of specific IT infrastructure components that has a history of security flaws based on the provided architecture.
  • Review the management architecture for the entire IT landscape and its segregation from less trusted user LANs.
  • Review the existing third-party access provisions for providing technical support.
  • Review the extent of redundancy built into the architecture to identify potential single points of failure that may impact the availability of the network.
