Network security tools only

Here’s a Network Security Design for your e-commerce business setup, focusing on segmentation,
isolation, placement of tools, and honeypot strategy. This will ensure internal security, threat
detection, and response in a structured way.

🧩 Network Security Architecture – High-Level Design

🔐 Core Principles:

 Network Segmentation (via VLANs/Subnets) for department isolation

 DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) for public-facing services

 Internal Firewalls for cross-VLAN control

 IDS/IPS & SIEM Integration

  Least Privilege Access (Role-Based Access Control)

 Honeypots for deception and early intrusion detection

Logical Layout with Security Tool Placement

[Internet]

[Perimeter Firewall] <--- Blocks/Filters External Threats

[Router]

[Core Switch (L3)] --- Segregates VLANs

| | | |

| | | +--- VLAN 20 (Customer Support)

| | +--------- VLAN 30 (Web Dev)

| +--------------- VLAN 40 (Finance/HR)

+--------------------- VLAN 10 (DMZ - Web Servers, Public API)

🔸 1. Perimeter Layer

 🔹Firewall (Next-Gen Firewall):

o Between Internet and internal network

o Enforces rules for external access

 🔹DMZ:

o Hosts public-facing apps (website, customer portal, APIs)

o Connected to WAF (Web Application Firewall)

 🔹WAF (e.g., ModSecurity or AWS WAF):

o Filters web traffic going to DMZ servers

 🔹IDS/IPS:

o Inline with traffic between DMZ ↔ LAN

o Detects malicious signatures or anomalies

🔸 2. Core Internal Layer

  🔹Layer 3 Switch or Router with VLANs:

o VLAN 10: DMZ

o VLAN 20: Customer Support

o VLAN 30: Web Dev

o VLAN 40: Finance + HR

o VLAN 50: Logistics

o VLAN 60: Management (CEO/CTO)

o VLAN 99: Server Management

o VLAN 100: Honeypot Network (Deceptive assets)

 🔹Internal Firewall (Zone-Based):

o Rules to restrict traffic between VLANs:

 Web Dev ↔ Finance: ❌

 Web Dev ↔ DMZ: ✅ (only specific IPs/ports)

 Support ↔ Finance: ❌

 HR ↔ Finance: ✅ (based on AD roles)

 CEO ↔ All VLANs: ✅ (with logging)

🔸 3. Endpoint & Access Security

 🔹Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR):

o Installed on all systems (especially Finance, HR, CTO)

 🔹Antivirus/Anti-malware:

o Real-time protection (all workstations)

 🔹Email Gateway Security:

o Phishing protection, malware filters

 🔹VPN Server (SSL-based):

o For remote access (CTO, Devs, CEO)

 🔹2FA/SSO:

o On critical systems (Finance, DevOps tools, Admin Panels)

‍♂️4. Honeypot Placement

📍Location: In VLAN 100 (Honeypot Zone)

  Decoy Services:

o Fake Admin Panels, RDP endpoints, FTP servers, MySQL DBs

 Monitored with:

o Honeypot Tools (Kippo, Cowrie, Honeyd, Dionaea)

o Logs forwarded to SIEM (e.g., ELK or Wazuh)

🎯 Purpose:

 Detect internal lateral movement

 Trap bots, port scanners, rogue insiders

 Log attacker behavior for forensic analysis

🧠 5. SIEM & Monitoring

 SIEM collects logs from:

o Firewall

o IDS/IPS

o Endpoint Security

o Honeypot

 Set alerts for:

o Port scans

o Failed login bursts

o Unusual data exfiltration

o Access to Honeypot

🔧 Summary Table – Security Tools & Locations

Tool Placement Purpose

Firewall (Perimeter) Between Internet and LAN Block external threats

WAF In front of web servers in DMZ Filter web-layer attacks

IDS/IPS Inline between VLANs & DMZ Detect internal & external attacks

EDR On all endpoints Behavior-based threat protection

VPN Dedicated appliance or firewall module Secure remote access

Internal Firewall Rules Core Switch (L3 ACLs) VLAN-based segmentation

Tool Placement Purpose

SIEM Central Server Log aggregation & threat analysis

Honeypot Separate VLAN (100) Deception + threat intel
