Network and Security Services are designed to support a system throughout its lifecycle and assist in reaching the necessary reduction in design and implementation costs, increasing uptime, and reducing future maintenance costs. A network assessment will develop a secure and reliable information infrastructure to improve operational performance and enable the Connected Enterprise. An assessment is designed to ensure optimal network performance, mitigate security risks, and provide the foundation for further technology advancements. 
Have You Considered:
- Why is my network not operating according to operational/availability baselines?
- Is the network architecture robust enough to protect my intellectual property and assets?
- How do I know if issues I have on my network are security related, and how do I fix them?
