ZERO TRUST WORKSHOPS AND CONSULTING SERVICES

Establish Your Roadmap
for Zero Trust Adoption

Our Zero Trust Workshops are designed to help your organization incrementally adopt a “never trust, always verify” approach to security.

ZERO TRUST WORKSHOPS OVERVIEW

Incrementally Build the Right Zero Trust Strategy

A Zero Trust security model is an end-to-end strategy around least-privilege that involves integrating identity, infrastructure, monitoring, analytics and automation. While it is all-encompassing, it does not require an entire re-architecture to achieve zero trust security.

Our Zero Trust Workshops are designed to facilitate your journey through iterative, manageable steps to:

Understand Your Maturity Level & Enhance Your Zero Trust Transformation

Drive the Adoption of Critical Capabilities in Interactive Steps

Optimize Existing Controls to Align With Your Risk Reduction Goals

ZERO TRUST WORKSHOPS: METHODOLOGY

Achieve Zero Trust with Our
Customized 5-Phase Approach

We will help accelerate your Zero Trust adoption by working with you to understand your inventory of business assets; configure your access management, IGA and PAM solutions; ensure you have the necessary visibility into your network and application traffic; and optimize, centralize and automate your policies – all without re-architecting your entire network.

Our workshops employ a proven 5-phased approach that is customized to meet your specific requirements and environmental challenges:

Discover

Identify key stakeholders in your organization, review your Zero Trust business drivers, capture the relevant use cases and requirements and review your existing security architecture.

Assess

Assess your environment including identifying high value assets and determine your classification policy, conduct a gap analysis between your Zero Trust use cases and your existing security architecture, determine success criteria and develop a Zero Trust roadmap.

Design

Select best-fit technologies for your environment and requirements, remediate identified gaps from the Assess phase, conduct a detailed design document and secure proper sign off, review and update the roadmap and update the Zero Trust desired business outcomes.

Build

Develop Zero Trust configuration policies, test and validate those policies in pilot groups, document the exception process and perform final policy tuning, roll out the Zero Trust policy and provide next day support.

Maintain

Provide knowledge transfer and operational training, exception and change remediation training, configuration and device management procedures, quarterly health checks and best practice assessments and violation monitoring tuning.

ZERO TRUST WORKSHOPS: NETWORK ACCESS

Securing the Cloud for Your Mobile Workforce

In cloud-based scenarios, organizations should consider a ”least-privilege access model.” Our team of Zero Trust experts leverages a defined framework to establish business requirements for the mobile workforce’s secure access to organizational assets – regardless of where they are located.

We work with you to:

  • Ensure strong identity and enforcement capabilities are tightly integrated with existing security tools and processes
  • Develop various Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) use cases, determine what controls are already in place or need to be implemented to meet the business requirements for each case
  • Integrate and optimize services to design, implement and support ZTNA use cases
ZERO TRUST WORKSHOPS: IDENTITY & ACCESS MANAGEMENT

Prioritize IAM as Network Perimeters Evolve

With the traditional network perimeter dissipating, Identity & Access Management has become a top priority for authentication and authorization.

We work with you to:

  • Conduct a rigorous review of your environment
  • Provide a roadmap for implementing and optimizing the three pillars of IAM: Identity Governance and Administration, Access Management and Privileged Account Management
  • Understand your unique use cases, roles and policies to select the best-fit solutions, zero trust technologies and perimeter-less security that meets your business requirements
ZERO TRUST WORKSHOPS: CLOUD MICRO-SEGMENTATION

Prevent Unwanted Lateral Movement Through Workload Separation

Cloud environments are flat by default and require additional workload separation to limit lateral movement and reduce the impact of a breach. Many cloud security designs include macro-segmentation because it is difficult to achieve true micro-segmentation without full automation.

Our Zero Trust consultants work with you to:

  • Classify and segment cloud workloads based on business function
  • Reduce your attack surface by implementing workload segmentation, where only those ports/protocols that are required for operation are permitted
  • Automate security policies to ease the deployment of new workloads into a secured environment
ZERO TRUST WORKSHOPS: MONITORING & VISIBILITY

Validate the Effectiveness of Your Zero Trust Policies and Tools

Simply implementing controls and walking away isn’t enough. Continued monitoring and visibility are necessary to ensure that the policies and tools you’ve created as part of your Zero Trust plan are working as expected.

We work with you to:

  • Develop content libraries for monitoring Zero Trust environments
  • Configure appropriate alarms and notifications in Zero Trust tools
  • Build automation and orchestration around Zero Trust use cases

Our team works side-by-side with you as your cybersecurity partner.

“GuidePoint Security is a trusted partner. Cybersecurity is a program not a project, so it’s always evolving. And GuidePoint does a great job of staying in step with the times. It’s important that we keep those lines of communication open because something may come up that we don’t even think about and you guys may say, well, I know your initiative is this, but there’s some sub initiatives where we might be able to help you get to that end result. The GuidePoint Security team has an answer for every question and challenge we have around cybersecurity.”
