How to Design a Secure Enterprise Network

Start with business requirements, users, applications and traffic flows. Then build an architecture around segmentation, redundancy, controlled access and operational visibility.

Start with business requirements, users, applications and traffic flows. Then build an architecture around segmentation, redundancy, controlled access and operational visibility.

Segmentation

Separate user, server, guest, voice, CCTV and management traffic where appropriate. Define who can communicate with whom and why.

Resilience

Use appropriate redundancy at critical layers and design for failure rather than assuming every component will always be available.

Operations

Document IP addressing, VLANs, routing, firewall policies, device roles and change procedures so the environment can be operated consistently.

This article is general technical guidance. Actual architecture should be validated against the organization's requirements, risk profile and existing infrastructure.
