Network Security Architecture Audit

During the course of normal network security operations, operation staff move technology and deploy new devices in a manner which sometimes inadvertently violates compliance with computer and Internet security policy. 

Configuration changes which are meant to be temporary sometimes are forgotten and become part of the permanent infrastructure. A second pair of eyes to review the configuration of a dynamic network is always beneficial.

The goals of the ERE network security architecture audit are to identify:

• security risks relating to the placement and validity of all major network components.
• where the current architecture may not remain secure after the deployment of a plan to change the network. (deploy servers, network devices, communications links, dual NIC cards).
• discrepancies between the existing network diagram and ERE’s physical observations of the network made during a walk-around investigation.
