NetworkHardening&Micro-Segmentation

// Contain lateral movement, isolate critical financial enclaves, and enforce zero-trust network baselines.

Enterprise networks are under continuous pressure from sophisticated threat actors exploiting flat architectures, insecure protocols, and perimeter-only security models. Sinan Arcana delivers engineering-led network hardening, L2/L3 switch and router configuration baselining according to CIS benchmarks, 802.1X network access control (NAC), firewall rulebase optimization, and micro-segmentation to quarantine SWIFT, core banking, payment switches, and DMZs.

Practitioner Perspective

Why this capability matters to your business.

Adversaries rely on flat internal enterprise networks to pivot from a single compromised workstation directly to core banking databases, domain controllers, and critical servers. Micro-segmentation and rigorous protocol hardening ensure that a breach in one zone remains strictly isolated, denying attackers east-west traversal.

Target Engagement Profile:

Commercial banks, fintechs, telcos, government CII operators, and enterprises with complex or flat multi-site networks.

Technical Engagement Methodology

Every engagement follows structured, repeatable, and disciplined operational phases.

01

Architecture & Segmentation Audit

Comprehensive review of L2/L3 network topologies, VLAN zoning, routing protocol authentication (BGP/OSPF), and perimeter/internal firewall rulebases against CIS benchmarks.

02

Crown Jewel Enclave Micro-Segmentation

Engineering granular zero-trust isolation boundaries for critical assets including SWIFT terminals, Core Banking Systems (CBS), HSM vaults, and Card Payment switches.

03

Access Control & NAC Hardening

Deploying 802.1X port security, disabling insecure management protocols (Telnet, HTTP, SNMPv1/v2), enforcing SSH key-based administration, and securing management planes via TACACS+/RADIUS.

04

Adversary Traversal Validation

Simulating live lateral movement and covert pivot techniques to empirically prove that east-west traffic cannot traverse micro-segmented boundaries without detection.
