Zero Trust Cybersecurity

Dirac Delta Systems offers Zero Trust for your business

What is Zero Trust?

Zero Trust is a security framework that assumes no user or device is trustworthy by default, requiring continuous verification and strict access controls to protect data and systems.

We follow Microsoft Zero Trust Security Principles

We use Microsoft Zero Trust Architecture

Founded on Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architecture (MCRA)

Why are we having a Zero Trust conversation?

Keep assets away from attackers

IT security is complex

Many devices, users, and connections

“Trusted network” security strategy

Initial attacks were network-based
Seemingly simple and economical
Accepted lower security within the network

Assets increasingly leave the network

BYOD, WFH, Mobile, and SaaS

Attackers shift to identity attacks

Phishing and credential theft
Security teams ofare ten overwhelmed

Goal: Zero Assumed Trust

Reduce risk by finding and removing implicit assumptions of trust

THE PROBLEM

False Assumptions: of implicit or explicit trust

Security is the opposite of productivity.
All attacks can be prevented.
Network security perimeter will keep attackers out.
Passwords are strong enough.
IT Admins are safe.
IT Infrastructure is safe.
Developers always write secure code.
The software and components we use are secure.

THE SOLUTION

Zero Trust Mitigation: Systematically Build & Measure Trust

Business Enablement - align security to the organization’s mission, priorities, risks, and processes.
Assume Compromise - continuously reduce blast radius and attack surface through prevention and detection/ response/recovery.
Shift to Asset-Centric Security Strategy - revisit how to do access control, security operations, infrastructure and development security, and more.
Explicitly Validate Account Security - require MFA and analyze all user sessions with behaviour analytics, threat intelligence, and more.
Plan and Execute Privileged Access Strategy - establish security of accounts, workstations, and other privileged entities (aka.ms/spa).
Validate Infrastructure Integrity - explicitly validate trust of operating systems, applications, services accounts, and more.
Integrate Security into Development Process - security education, issue detection and mitigation, response, and more.
Supply Chain Security - validate the integrity of software and hardware components from open source. vendors, and others.

Security Modernization with Zero Trust Principles

What is Zero Trust?

Zero Trust is a security strategy. It is not a product or a service, but an approach in designing and implementing the following set of security principles:

Verify explicitly

Always authenticate and authorize based on all available data points.

Use least privilege access

Limit user access with Just-In-Time and Just-Enough-Access (JIT/JEA), risk-based adaptive policies, and data protection.

Assume breach

Minimize blast radius and segment access. Verify end-to-end encryption and use analytics to get visibility, drive threat detection, and improve defences.
