Zero Trust Network Architecture

Zero Trust is a strategic cybersecurity methodology that secures an organization by eliminating implicit trust and continuously validating every stage of a digital interaction.

What is Zero Trust Architecture?

“Zero Trust” is a new buzzword that is often misrepresented, yet it is a principle built into the fabric of what we do on a daily basis for more than 10 years. Rooted in the principle of “never trust, always verify,” Zero Trust Architecture is designed to protect modern environments and enable digital transformation by using strong authentication methods, leveraging network segmentation, preventing lateral movement, providing Layer 7 threat prevention, and simplifying granular, “least access” policies.

What it is not

Zero Trust IS NOT a product, service, tool, or security control! There isn’t a single vendor in cyber that can claim they have a zero trust silver bullet. Unfortunately, only experienced IT and Security professionals understand this, and it is currently one of the most improperly used buzz words in the cybersecurity industry. On nearly a daily basis on LinkedIn, information security leaders are poking fun at this type of marketing from cybersecurity vendors.

13 Layers and Zero Trust Network Architecture

Our 13 Layer, defense-in-depth methodology can help your organization achieve a zero trust architecture as follows:

ASSETS

Using a combination of baseline assessments and tools (penetration testing, ransomware attack simulations, vulnerability assessments, and live forensics) we will identify your network’s most critical and valuable data, assets, applications and services. This helps prioritize where to start and also enables the creation of Zero Trust security policies.

USERS

13 Layers leverages “least access” policies, procedures and our threatACCESS platform to provide strong authentication of user identity, limit access to the least privileges necessary, and to verify user device integrity.

APPLICATIONS

Our threatINTELLIGENCE platform operates by default at the network level (Layer 1) to scan and remove both inbound and outbound malicious traffic in real time. threatACCESS validates developers and admins and enforces least access privileges to data and applications. threatEDR verifies workload integrity and device integrity.

INFRASTRUCTURE

threatACCESS validates all users with access to the infrastructure and allows for least privilege micro segmentation. threatINTELLIGENCE identifies and protects all devices (including IoT) and scan and remove both inbound and outbound malicious traffic in real time.

Zero Trust Architecture is at the heart of what we do to bring your organization to maturity level 5 (see image below). During our initial consultation we will get a better understanding of your network’s architecture, so that we may begin implementing Zero Trust into the fabric of your network as well.

We called him (Justin) from our car and he answered right away. He put a team together after an hour and a half. The task force from 13 Layers were on top of it and they took care of us before we even had the time to speak about money. The way they approached the [process], I was sure that it would cost us much more than that…. We were able to come back to normal operations within a couple of days, and the way they handled it was amazing. It’s rare to see anybody be able to react almost immediately. We hadn’t even taken care of any money or signed anything yet, and I came in the next morning and these guys from Kentucky were already going! The box was here within 48 hours. We were able to come back to normal operations within a couple of days, and the way they handled it was amazing. Full Video Review Here

Our company was cyber-attacked with a very sophisticated Banking Trojan Virus. The virus attempted to gain access to our servers through our individual PC’s. Once deployed, it was a battle for 120 straight hours to protect our data. FINALLY, one of our staff members pulled me aside and his exact words, “this will require a level of expertise that will far exceed 98% of the industry people you will find to rectify this issue, but I know a company in that 2% and they called 13 Layers.” Immediately, I made the call to 13 Layers at 10:00 pm at night. Within the hour, the 13 Layers team were remotely logged in working on the issue. Within 4 hours, our main threat had been limited. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know why. I immediately hired 13 Layers. The industry knowledge, accessibility, detailed reports, and thorough explanation put my mind at ease. I truly owe a lot more than just the bill I received from 13 Layers.
