Zero Trust Architecture Implementation
Protect – SECURITY ENGINEERING, BLUE TEAM
Cloud-native distributed systems and microservices create unique security challenges that require bleeding-edge solutions. Let us bring you peace of mind by collaborating with your team to implement zero trust security.
Security challenges unique to cloud-native environments require an evidence-based, data-driven approach, separate from traditional application architectures. Optimized for companies that already have strong application security automation, cloud security, and DevSecOps, a zero trust architecture ensures that there is “no implicit trust granted to assets or user accounts based solely on their physical or network location” (NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-207).
We work hand in hand with your development and engineering teams to thoroughly understand the current environment and discuss the application road map and external commitments with your leadership. By pulling together that context we can plan and collaboratively implement your zero trust architecture using standard DevOps practices to ensure your workloads have the high levels of security that your stakeholders expect.
Here’s how we can help secure your complex distributed systems:
- Fill in any control gaps using components of Seiso’s application security automation, cloud security, secure application design, and DevSecOps services, including implementing tailored security solutions for Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystems, developing opinionated, secure-by-default libraries for use by critical services, and reviewing and contributing improvements to existing infrastructure as code (IaC).
- Integrate layers of hardening, including at the system and runtime security levels, to monitor workloads for malicious activity at the kernel level.
- Validate secure configurations through both application and environmental penetration testing and security assessments.
- Implement constant controls validation throughout your environment, to measure controls effectiveness and to identify gaps when compared against NIST SP 800-53, and visualize those measurements through dashboards for program oversight and audit artifacts.
