Assume an enterprise with a lot of employee and manager.
Avery employee is on the same lan of the manager and sometimes also external
user are connected to the same lan.
In each floor of the buildin you migth have manager, employee, external
consultant...
manager does not want to share their information with the other
So I tried to do obtain a first level of security using VLAN, not too
strenght but a first level...
the second level of security may be using desktop protection....
the issue could be the performance..
wath do you think?
best regards
Carmelo
