Design Secure IT Network
Budget: $50 – $0 USD
I’m ready to build out a new company-wide IT network and want a seasoned network specialist who can take the lead from planning through deployment. Although the exact mix of endpoints is still being finalized, expect a typical office blend of computers, laptops, printers, and perhaps a handful of IoT or smart-office devices.
My priorities are: solid performance for day-to-day collaboration, seamless internet connectivity, and security that can scale—whether that’s straightforward password protection, a balanced firewall + antivirus stack, or full-blown encryption with advanced protocols. I’ll look to you for guidance on the appropriate level once you’ve reviewed our environment.
Deliverables
• A detailed network topology diagram with recommended hardware (switches, routers, access points, firewalls)
• Configuration scripts or step-by-step settings for each device
• Security plan outlining authentication, monitoring, and incident-response measures
• Clear documentation so in-house IT can maintain and expand the setup
Please outline your proposed approach, the primary tools or platforms you’d use (e.g., Cisco, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, pfSense), and a timeline from discovery to hand-off.
