Perimeter Networks

Keep a safe distance between you and the World

An Internet perimeter network separates your private network from the world thus it needs to be designed well and deployed properly. WaveGard's Internet perimeter design services can improve what you currently have or provide a completely new network built from the ground up while mentoring you along the way. Remember, we don't sell products but we do use and recommend modern best-of-breed platforms that serve our clients well. Many of the security concepts detailed in WaveGard's Cisco Certified Security Professional book are used in our network designs.

These are some of the topics a typical perimeter design engagement addresses:

  • Device comparison assistance
  • Defining appropriate communication flows based on business & regulatory compliance requirements
  • Addressing business-to-business communication choke points
  • Ensuring routers are properly configured and security hardened
  • Building and modifying firewall rules using least privilege concepts
  • Remote access technologies such as SSL and IPsec VPN
  • Use of high availability options such as BGP, HSRP, and VRRP
  • Identifying & controlling malicious code through the gateway
  • Controlling Internet bandwidth (QoS)
  • Secure device management
