Thus to achieve corporate and regulatory requirement and protect the assets Corporeate needs to implement a solution that gives us the ability to secure our information assets. The industry standard way to do this is through the implementation of a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). A VLAN solution would allow Corporate to give very specific permissions to each person logged onto our network. These permissions would dictate what he/she has access to. It would allow us to isolate sensitive information to a highly secure environment. It would also allow us to limit the impact of viruses which hit out network.
