Often Administrators & Managers may assume that once the network has been working and serving the organization users their work is considered as done! Changes in technology & business making are forcing us to adapt to these changes and provide solutions that are costly reasonable but not punching holes in our security. You may find that during these changes, additional components have been added but may compromise security; therefore revisiting the network design along with new requirements is needed.
