Challenge
Our client isundergoing a comprehensive infrastructure modernisation initiative to implementa cutting-edge security framework aligned with Zero Trust principles. Byleveraging our expertise, the client is strategically aligning with the NISTZero Trust maturity model, selecting top-tier products for seamless integrationto fulfil the specific capability needs of each maturity model pillar. Thisstrategic approach is poised to establish a state-of-the-art data centre andinfrastructure fortified by robust zero-trust security protocols.
Solution
To address theneeds of the users and device pillars, we strategically utilised key Microsofttechnologies, including Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) for robust identitymanagement and Microsoft InTune for efficient device management. Our approachalso involved leveraging tools such as Gitlab, Microsoft Purview, andTrendMicro to enhance data and application management while ensuring top-notchsecurity measures. Considering the client's substantial on-premises networkinfrastructure with a mix of cloud services, we integrated VMware NSX-T toimplement effective east-west micro-segmentation. This decision enhancesnetwork security and optimizes overall network performance. Moreover, wemeticulously configured a suite of cutting-edge tools to fulfil the AutomationOrchestration pillar requirements, including Microsoft Sentinel, Ansible,Elastic, Gigamon, and Microsoft Defender. This comprehensive setup ensuresseamless automation and orchestration and enhanced visibility and analyticsacross the network infrastructure.
Benefits
Before implementing these tools in the client's environment,they lacked comprehensive visibility into their end devices and networktraffic. By seamlessly integrating a tailored suite of tools in collaborationwith the client, they achieved unparalleled visibility across their entireenvironment, spanning from individual devices to network infrastructure. Thisnewfound visibility enables them to proactively identify and respond topotential threats in real-time, leveraging advanced analytics to enhance theirsecurity posture and overall operational efficiency.
