Secure network modernisation

Plant and office networks had grown together. Access control and segmentation needed to catch up without stopping production.

Challenge

Flat connectivity, mixed vendors and ad-hoc remote access made it hard to say who could reach the production network — and harder still to change it safely.

Solution

A target access model, staged segmentation and a change sequence that respected production windows. Existing Cisco and Aruba kit was used where it still earned its place.

Outcome

A documented access design, fewer implicit trusts and a modernisation path the operations team could continue after the engagement.
