We can suggest right tools and take the coordination effort for your compliance journey and keep your organization controls compliant so you can focus on your customers and services.

Hybrid and cloud native environments with application and network hardening policies with Zero Trust approach.

Todays world, having only private corporate on-premise networks with private services only protected by perimeter and network security is out dated and does not protect you against todays risks. With Zero Trust model it is possible to minimize risks and enable policies such as "bring your own device" (BYOD) and secure remote work possibilities which is crucial in todays world for the businesses to succeed.

The zero trust security model (also, zero trust architecture, zero trust network architecture, ZTA, ZTNA), sometimes known as perimeterless security, describes an approach to the design and implementation of IT systems. The main concept is “never trust, always verify,” which means that devices should not be trusted by default, even if they are connected to a managed corporate network such as the corporate LAN and even if they were previously verified. In most modern enterprise environments, corporate networks consist of many interconnected segments, cloud-based services and infrastructure, connections to remote and mobile environments, and increasingly connections to non-conventional IT, such as IoT devices. The once traditional approach of trusting devices within a notional corporate perimeter, or devices connected to it via a VPN, makes less sense in such highly diverse and distributed environments. Instead, the zero trust approach advocates mutual authentication, including checking the identity and integrity of devices without respect to location, and providing access to applications and services based on the confidence of device identity and device health in combination with user authentication. -wikipedia
