Question

You have been appointed as a design engineer and assigned to design a secured network
for a private organization. Evaluate your approach to improve the security posture of
your network before, during, and after your network implementation.

Answer 1

As a design engineer to design a secured network for a private organization, have to focus on multiple things that improve the security posture of the network. They're given some phases like before, during, and after network implementation.

First, generally, some kind of tips to design a secured network is implementing VLANs that are dividing the hosts according to clans virtually but physically all are connected to a single network device. The second one is by implementing Subnets in the given network to bring and improve the security posture for the network. The intrusion Detection system and Intrusion protection system (IDS AND IPS ) is also should be installed.

Demilitriaized zones implementation is a must and should in a network in making it more secure than before. Access ports implementation while designing is also useful for making the network and privacy secured. Implementation of spanning trees in the network helps in decreasing the network flaws which are useful for attackers to attack and helps in improving the security standards of the network.

The most underrated security implementation is physical security. Be sure that no intruder can get access to your network. It is the best and foremost first lane highly recommended and essential security line to protect from intruders and attackers from outside. A firewall with hardware and software is an essential one to implement and install while designing a network for any organization.

We have to consider all these tips and then implement the network. The designing of the network should be in such a way that there should be no loophole or flaw in the network where an attacker can join and connect with the network. If there is a flaw in the network that letting an intruder connect that network then it will be a greater threat for the whole organization. Engaging Quality of Service is also a part of the implementation of a secured network.

Identifying security flaws and risks before the implementation of the network is essential. The one who helps you in designing the network should be the person who is a more trustworthy one to the company. Because he knows exactly how the network is designed and he knows very well where the security risks are there in the network.

Be sure that any wireless network that you are using should be protected with a high secured password. Be aware while giving access to the employees in the organization. Make sure everyone is well wishes and good use of the organization and not cause any potential damage to the organization.

These are the things to make your network more secure before and after and during the network implementation.
