Network Segmentation for Silverstone's Multi-Contractor Engineering Sites

Trust Granted Per Resource, Not Per Network

Motorsport and engineering firms based around Silverstone Park rarely operate in isolation, most work alongside contractors, testing partners and supplier networks that need some level of access to shared systems. Without deliberate network segmentation, that access model creates exactly the kind of lateral-movement risk that turns one compromised laptop into a full-network breach.

We build network attack defence around brute-force and zero-day protection first, then layer proper segmentation on top, separating guest and contractor access from core design and telemetry systems, so a compromised device on one segment can't simply hop to another. Web threat detection blocks phishing pages before they load, which matters given how often initial access starts with a convincing email rather than a direct network attack.

Zero Trust architecture ties it together: access is granted per-resource and per-session rather than 'once you're on the network, you're trusted,' which fits how Silverstone's engineering sites actually operate day to day, multiple organisations, shared facilities, and IP that needs to stay compartmentalised even between people who are nominally on the same team.
