Perimeter

Firewall · DNS · Email

Email, DNS and the network edge are the three surfaces an attacker touches first. They're also the cheapest to protect well — most of it is correct configuration, not expensive products.

Attacks on the perimeter

Three classic techniques, all still very effective against anyone who hasn't set up the right defences.

  • Email spoofing

    Without SPF, DKIM and DMARC, anyone can send email pretending to be your domain — to your customers or to your own staff.

    Warning signs:Customers receiving fake invoices in your name; your email landing in spam.

  • DNS hijacking

    The attacker changes where your domain points and diverts visitors or email to their own servers.

    Warning signs:Site down or altered, email disappearing, certificate warnings.

  • Man-in-the-middle

    On a network without segmentation or encryption, traffic can be intercepted and read — passwords included.

    Warning signs:Wi-Fi shared with guests, connections without HTTPS, remote access without a VPN.

How it's closed

Correct, verifiable configuration with no friction for the people using the systems every day.

  • SPF · DKIM · DMARC

    The three records that prove an email is really yours, on a reject policy.

  • Protected DNS

    Locked records, DNSSEC where available and change monitoring.

  • Network segmentation

    Guests, devices and servers kept apart — a problem in one doesn't spread to the rest.

  • Encryption in transit

    HTTPS on everything public and a VPN for remote access.
