Organisations that trust Edge7 Networks.
Most security investment focuses on keeping attackers out. Less attention goes to what happens when one gets through. A network without segmentation gives a compromised device, a phished user, or a rogue connection access to everything. Edge7 Networks designs, implements, and manages the network controls that limit what an attacker can reach, regardless of how they got in.
Most networks were designed to make things easy to connect. Security was added later, usually in the form of a firewall at the perimeter and not much else between the perimeter and the endpoints behind it. An attacker who gets past the perimeter finds a relatively flat network where a compromised endpoint on one VLAN can reach systems on another VLAN with minimal resistance.
The firewall logs are full of noise. Nobody has time to review rule bases that have accumulated over years of change requests without a corresponding cleanup. Rules that were added for a specific project in 2019 are still there. Deny rules that should exist do not. Your firewall is technically running, but nobody can confidently say what it is and is not blocking.
Network access control is either absent or running in monitor mode. Devices connect to the corporate network and the only check is whether they have the right credentials. This is the network your security monitoring is trying to protect. The combination of flat segmentation, aged firewall policy, and weak access controls means that when something gets through, it can move. And when it moves, the scope of the incident grows.
Not arbitrary VLANs, but a segmentation model that reflects how your organisation actually operates. IT infrastructure, user workstations, servers, operational technology, guest access, and IoT devices each live in a segment with defined access rules between them. A compromised device on the user network cannot reach a critical server without crossing a controlled boundary.
Edge7 Networks reviews, documents, and rationalises your firewall rule base. Redundant rules are removed. Missing deny rules are added. Change management discipline is applied so the policy reflects your current security requirements. Ongoing management keeps the policy aligned with your infrastructure as it evolves.
Cloud-native NAC ensures that every device connecting to the corporate network is verified before it is given access to anything. Corporate devices, contractor equipment, and IoT devices all follow different access policies. An unmanaged device cannot simply plug into a port and reach your internal systems.
Guest WiFi stays isolated. Corporate devices on WiFi are subject to the same access controls as devices on LAN. Rogue access points are detected. The wireless layer is part of the security architecture, not a gap in it.
Network traffic analysis means that unusual lateral movement, unusual access patterns, and policy violations are detected and investigated. The network controls generate the telemetry that allows your security team to see when something is wrong.
Network security controls only work when they are aligned. Firewall policy, segmentation, and access control are designed as one architecture, not deployed independently.
Rule base rationalisation, change management, firmware lifecycle, and ongoing monitoring. Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Check Point. Your firewall policy reflects your current security requirements and stays that way.
More on managed firewallsCloud-native NAC built on HPE Aruba Central. Device identity verification, posture assessment, and policy-based access for corporate, contractor, IoT, and guest devices. Certificates instead of pre-shared keys.
More on cloud NACSwitching infrastructure designed and managed with security in mind. VLANs, inter-VLAN routing controls, and segmentation policies that reflect your risk model. Not just network performance, but network containment.
More on managed LANFor organisations that want network security controls feeding into a monitored security operations layer. Network events, firewall logs, and NAC alerts ingested and analysed. Unusual patterns are investigated, not just logged.
More on SOC/SIEMWe review your current network architecture, firewall policy, and access controls. Current segmentation, firewall rule base, NAC deployment, and gaps between current controls and what your environment needs.
Edge7 Networks designs the target segmentation model. Zone definitions, inter-zone access rules, NAC policy, and firewall policy framework. Documented and shared before any changes are made to production infrastructure.
Changes are implemented in phases, starting with the highest-priority gaps. Each phase is tested before moving to the next. Business continuity is preserved throughout.
Edge7 Networks manages the security controls. Firewall change management, NAC policy updates, rule base governance, firmware lifecycle, and security event review. Controls stay aligned with your infrastructure as it grows.
You need a partner who can assess the gaps, design the controls, and implement them without taking the business offline.
Security strategy is only as good as the infrastructure that implements it. Edge7 Networks provides the engineering to make the policy real.
Edge7 Networks implements controls that are auditable and documented to the standards your auditors need.
Guides and assessments to help you evaluate your network security posture and plan a segmentation project.
A practical guide to network segmentation, zone design, and the controls that prevent lateral movement after a breach.
Why firewall rule bases degrade over time and a structured approach to reviewing, cleaning, and maintaining them.
How NIS2 requirements for network access controls and segmentation translate to practical technical controls.
The engineers who design your segmentation model are the engineers who manage your firewalls. No handover between disciplines when a network change has security implications. No coordination overhead between teams.
Firewall rules do not stay current by themselves. NAC policies drift as the device estate changes. Edge7 Networks manages these controls proactively, not just when something breaks. The controls stay aligned with your environment.
Every change is documented. The segmentation model is maintained as a living document. Firewall policy changes are logged and reviewed. The evidence your auditors need is produced as a natural output of how we manage the service.
Most organisations do not know the answer to a simple question: if a device on the user network were compromised, how far could an attacker move? A conversation is where we start to answer that.
