Provided is a system and method for determining an arrangement of network resources to provide network access security. The method including: assigning a weight to each network resource based on the associated security policy, where a greater weighting corresponds to a requirement for a greater level of security; segmenting the network resources into subsets if a operator acting on the network resource with other network resources in the subset has equal or more combined weight than the combined weight of the operator acting on the network resource with other network resources not in the subset; generating a network topology by adding subsets to nodes in the network graph in descending order by weight until one of the one or more access points is reached, where vertices between nodes are firewalled.
