Abstract—This paper examines current approaches to securing corporate network infrastructures by implementing robust access controls and configuration hardening techniques. It presents strategies for improving network security by combining traditional access control systems with Zero Trust Architecture, enforcing endpoint security, and integrating AI-driven threat detection. We highlight the importance of regular testing and monitoring of network integrity and the role of thorough documentation in ensuring compliance and transparency.
