POL0315—Router and Switch Security Policy

Fortify Your Network with the Router and Switch Security Policy

Routers and switches form the backbone of your organisation’s network, ensuring seamless connectivity and efficient operations. Proper security configurations protect these critical devices from significant risks such as unauthorised access, data breaches, and costly downtime. The Router and Switch Security Policy offers a comprehensive framework to address these challenges effectively.

Network Security Matters

Now, imagine a network where every device—every router, every switch—is not only functional but also secure, eliminating vulnerabilities that could disrupt your operations. This policy goes beyond the basics to ensure that all routers and switches are configured for maximum security. By addressing access controls, firmware updates, and configuration protocols, this protects your infrastructure while maintaining reliability and integrity of your systems.

Safeguard Your Network from Threats

Cybercriminals often target misconfigured routers and switches, placing your organisation’s network at unnecessary risk. The Router and Switch Security Policy addresses this issue by providing detailed requirements for securing these critical devices. It prioritises robust access controls, timely firmware updates, and effective configuration management to safeguard every device connected to your production network.
