π₯ 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.
π§ 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.
π₯ 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Diagnostic tools or IoT devices with outdated firmware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.
