Network & Infrastructure Design: Built for Security, Engineered for Growth

Your IT infrastructure is the foundation of your business—and the frontline of your cybersecurity strategy. Whether you're deploying new systems, expanding to the cloud, or modernizing legacy networks, your design decisions will directly impact security, performance, scalability, and compliance.

Today's attackers don't always knock at the front door—they exploit flat networks, misconfigured firewalls, or unsegmented systems to move laterally and access sensitive data. Without secure infrastructure, even the strongest endpoint or application defenses can fall short.

At Penn|Parsons, we specialize in secure, segmented, and resilient network and infrastructure design that aligns with your business goals and risk profile.

Key Use Cases:

• CMMC & NIST Compliance: Map security boundaries and enclave CUI zones
• Cloud Migration: Extend secure policies into hybrid and public cloud
• Remote Work Enablement: Secure VPNs, split tunneling, and cloud gateways
• Network Redesign: Replace flat legacy networks with layered security
• M&A Transitions: Integrate and isolate infrastructure securely across orgs

Our Approach to Secure Network & Infrastructure Design

We combine cybersecurity best practices with enterprise-grade infrastructure design—so your systems are reliable, manageable, and defensible.

Network Segmentation & Zero Trust Architecture

• Logical separation of networks (e.g., admin, finance, guest, OT/ICS)
• VLANs, firewalls, and access control to reduce lateral movement
• Microsegmentation for high-risk systems and sensitive data zones

Infrastructure Modernization & Cloud Integration

• Defense-in-depth layering across endpoints, perimeter, and cloud
• Hybrid cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, on-prem)
• High availability, failover planning, and load balancing
• Secure VPN, SD-WAN, and remote access design for distributed teams

Scalability & Performance Optimization

• Right-sized network capacity planning
• Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize critical applications
• Redundant design for uptime and disaster recovery
