Knowell Tech’s network assessment services begin with an objective evaluation of your current infrastructure and result in specific recommendations that can help you increase service levels and boost your bottom line. The length and scope of each assessment depends upon the client’s environment and specific needs.
By applying the best practices we have developed through extensive client engagements, we can help you maximize performance, increase security, minimize risks, ensure regulatory compliance and improve your ability to compete — all while saving you time and money.
Our extensive experience enables us to clearly identify and assess eight key technical and non-technical prerequisites needed to determine readiness and achieve segmentation success. The key areas include:
Asset inventory
Data classiciation
Policies and regulations
Application dependency mapping
Network mapping
Existing zones and segments
Shared infrastructure
Each area will make up a major component of your greater segmentation plan. Determining your level of readiness in each area is crucial for an effective and successful plan to proceed. Our segmentation experts will evaluate each area and provide a readiness rating based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). Depending on the size of your environment, this can be completed between 30 and 60 days and will include recommendations to address identified gaps.
An equally beneficial part of our Accelerator service is the upfront identification of quick wins. Quick wins exist wherever you can leverage existing technology to advance effective segmentation. Our experts will help you identify such opportunities to immediately enhance your security posture while we continue developing a long-term strategy for enterprise-wide segmentation.
