Secure Switching

Switches are the most popular network components in many corporate intranets. These devices control the flow of network traffic and allow workstations and hosts to communicate with each other. Unfortunately, switches are a common target for attack by skilled hackers and tech-savvy employees with access to internal resources.

Solarcore can work with your organization to tighten its "switch fabric" in the following manner:

	Ensure that switches are locked down and impervious to attack. This includes shutting down unused ports, enforcing strong password usage, and tightening administrative control on managed switches.
	Analyze switch connectivity and interconnectivity to ensure that workstation access to unauthorized network segments is eliminated through creation or modification of Virtual LANs (VLANs). If necessary, Solarcore engineers will also replace older network hubs with true switches to eliminate the possibility of eavesdropping.
	Ensure that all security-related events on switches are logged, and that logs are sent to a central collection server in a manner that prevents manipulation.

Switches are an integral and critical part of your network - let the experts at Solarcore help you make them as safe and secure as they can be.
