πŸ”₯ Network Segmentation & Firewall Deployment

Secure Your Business by Separating Critical Systems, Eliminating Lateral Threats & Strengthening Network Defenses

Most cyberattacks spread because everything inside a business network is connected with no barriers.
One infected computer β†’ entire business down.
One compromised device β†’ ransomware across the site.

Network segmentation and a properly deployed firewall create control, visibility, and containment β€” dramatically reducing the impact of cyber threats.

Danguard specializes in designing secure, structured networks for small businesses, industrial shops, logistics operations, and auto/EV service centers across Durham Region.


🧭 What Is Network Segmentation?

Network segmentation divides your network into separate zones, such as:

  • Office computers

  • Guest Wi-Fi

  • POS systems

  • Machines / CNC / diagnostics tools

  • Security cameras

  • IoT / smart devices

  • Admin-only areas

Each zone has firewall rules controlling who can access what β€” creating strong security boundaries.

This ensures:

  • Malware cannot spread across systems

  • Cyberattacks stay contained

  • Sensitive devices are isolated

  • Business continues operating during incidents

  • Remote access is controlled and monitored

Segmentation is one of the most effective and affordable security improvements any small business can make.


πŸ”₯ Why Your Business Needs Segmentation

(Especially Industrial, Auto Shops & Small Manufacturers)

Many local businesses operate with:

  • Flat networks (everything connected together)

  • Old routers with no security

  • Open Wi-Fi accessible from the parking lot

  • CNC machines connected to office networks

  • Diagnostic tools or IoT devices with outdated firmware

  • Employees & guests on the same Wi-Fi

  • Security cameras exposed to the internet

These are major attack paths.
Segmentation removes those entry points and protects your operations.


πŸ” What’s Included in Danguard’s Segmentation & Firewall Service

We deliver a full redesign, deployment, and hardening of your network.


βœ”οΈ 1. On-Site or Remote Network Assessment

We map your existing environment:

  • Routers, switches, access points

  • Machine tools and connected equipment

  • Office systems

  • Cameras, IoT, printers

  • POS systems

  • Wi-Fi setup

  • Internet exposure

You receive a diagram showing current state vs. recommended state.


βœ”οΈ 2. Design of Segmented Network Zones

We create a secure structure with zones such as:

  • Office LAN

  • Production/Machine Network (OT)

  • IoT/Smart Devices

  • Cameras/DVR

  • POS Terminals

  • Guest Wi-Fi

  • Admin/Management VLAN

Each zone has its own:

  • IP range

  • VLAN

  • Firewall rules

  • Access controls

This prevents unauthorized communication and lateral movement.


βœ”οΈ 3. Fortinet Firewall Deployment & Configuration

As a Fortinet Partner, Danguard configures:

  • FortiGate firewall appliances (20–100F depending on site)

  • SSL VPN for secure remote access

  • Application control

  • Intrusion prevention system (IPS)

  • Web filtering

  • Threat detection & logging

  • Secure Wi-Fi integration with FortiAP (optional)

We harden every feature following best practices.


βœ”οΈ 4. Wi-Fi Segmentation & Secure Access

We secure your wireless environment:

  • Separate guest network

  • Separate machine/IoT network

  • Lock down office Wi-Fi

  • Enforce WPA3 where possible

  • Disable/limit SSID broadcast

  • Block peer-to-peer traffic

No more employees + guests + machines sharing the same Wi-Fi.


βœ”οΈ 5. Firewall Policies & Access Rules

We implement:

  • Least-privilege access from zone to zone

  • Strict communication rules

  • Block all unnecessary traffic

  • Allow only required services (CNC vendor access, POS traffic, etc.)

  • Logging & alerting for suspicious connections

A properly configured firewall becomes the gatekeeper of your business.


βœ”οΈ 6. Documentation & Network Diagram

You receive:

  • Final network diagram

  • Firewall rules list

  • Wi-Fi zones & passwords

  • Device inventory

  • Segmentation policy

  • Admin access documentation

This is essential for audits, insurance, and operations.


βœ”οΈ 7. Optional Ongoing Management

We can provide:

  • Monthly firewall health checks

  • Quarterly rule cleanup

  • Policy updates

  • VPN user management

  • Logging & alert review

Not an MSP β€” a security-focused network advisor.
