FAQ

What is Network Segmentation?

We employ network segmentation to isolate critical systems from less secure areas, minimising the potential spread of attacks. This approach limits the impact of breaches and enhances your overall security posture.

What’s the difference between device hardening and patching?

Hardening prevents vulnerabilities, while patching addresses existing ones. Device hardening strengthens security by configuring devices to reduce vulnerabilities, while patching involves applying updates to fix known vulnerabilities in software and systems.

How frequently should security device hardening be performed?

Security device hardening should be performed regularly, ideally as part of a continuous monitoring and maintenance process, to ensure that devices remain protected against emerging threats and vulnerabilities.

What are the best practices for security device hardening?

Some of the best practices for security device hardening include using strong passwords and encryption, restricting access to administrative interfaces, implementing role-based access controls, keeping firmware and software up to date, disabling unused ports and services, and logging and monitoring device activity.

Will security device hardening impact our network performance?

While security device hardening may introduce some overhead due to additional security measures, such as encryption and access controls, the impact on network performance is typically minimal compared to the benefits gained in terms of improved security and risk reduction.

How can I assess the effectiveness of security device hardening?

The best ways of assessing effectiveness are through regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and monitoring of security metrics such as incident response times, detection rates, and compliance with security policies and standards.
