I believe your Cable Modem does have an ethernet port as well.
If it is so, your just connect them with an cross-over 10BaseT cable,
and you deploy your security measures, as well as monitoring and routing
issues.
Not cross-over cable. Or maybe it depends on cable modem? Mine works
with a patch (straight) cable.

Well, formerly straight cables were used to connect DTE to DCE.
DCE-DCE or DTE-DTE shall be connected cross-over.
DCE - data communication devices, like switch, modems, routers.
DTE - data terminal devices: hosts.
