Securing Network Connectivity
- Identify network and security policies needed to properly secure the LAN-to-WAN portion of the network infrastructure
Network and Security Policies for LAN-to-WAN Security
- Access Control Policies:
- Define and enforce who can access the LAN and WAN.
- Implement strong authentication mechanisms (e.g., MFA).
- Use VLANs and ACLs to restrict unauthorized access.
- Firewall and Gateway Security:
- Deploy and configure firewalls at LAN/WAN boundaries.
- Implement next-generation firewalls (NGFW) with deep packet inspection.
- Control traffic based on application, user, and content.
- Encryption Policies:
- Require encryption for data transmission over WAN.
- Implement TLS for secure communication channels.
- Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit.
- Endpoint Security:
- Ensure endpoint protection (antivirus, antimalware).
- Enforce device encryption and strong password policies.
- Monitor and patch endpoints regularly…
