Zero Trust Strategy

Enterprise · Hybrid Cloud Modernization

Translate Strategize Design Transform

Identity-first Zero Trust architecture across hybrid cloud environments.

A hybrid enterprise operating across AWS and on-premises environments sought to modernize its remote access model. Legacy VPN-based access created broad implicit trust, limited visibility, and increasing pressure to align with Zero Trust principles and NIST SP 800-207, all within constrained delivery timelines and resources.

Applying the Cyber Value Arc™, we established a business-aligned Zero Trust strategy and validated it through a focused proof of concept. An identity-first architecture leveraging MS Entra ID, Conditional Access, and ZTNA replaced traditional VPN access, with architectural tradeoffs balancing implementation scope, validation depth, and delivery constraints.

Outcome: A validated target-state architecture and phased adoption roadmap that enabled incremental Zero Trust adoption, strengthened identity-centric access governance, and balanced security modernization with operational continuity.

Identity-Driven Network Access

Enterprise · Multi-Site Operations

Translate Strategize Design Transform Transition

Identity-Based Wireless Access Modernization

A multisite enterprise relied on a WPA2-PSK wireless model built on shared credentials, limiting user accountability, creating audit gaps, increasing lateral movement risk, and restricting consistent policy enforcement across the environment.

Applying the full Cyber Value Arc™ methodology, we reframed wireless access as an identity governance challenge rather than a network configuration exercise. The resulting target-state architecture leveraged 802.1X, Cisco ISE, Active Directory, and certificate-based authentication to establish identity-driven network access while eliminating shared credentials. Implementation was intentionally phased to align with organizational readiness, operational capacity, and business priorities.

Outcome: An enterprise-ready, identity-based wireless access architecture that eliminated shared credential risk, strengthened access governance, and established a scalable foundation supporting phased enterprise-wide adoption.

Engagement 03

Network Segmentation Strategy

Enterprise · Zero Trust Initiative

Translate Strategize Design Transform

Policy-driven segmentation model to reduce lateral-movement risk.

An enterprise operating with a flat VLAN architecture resulting from years of organic growth faced undefined trust boundaries, unrestricted lateral movement, and limited ability to enforce consistent security policy across the network, all within constrained operational capacity.

final: Applying the Translate, Strategize, Design, and Transform phases of the Cyber Value Arc™, we positioned network segmentation as a foundational capability for Zero Trust rather than a standalone infrastructure initiative. The resulting architecture established business-aligned trust zones through a hybrid macro- and micro-segmentation model, supported by a phased implementation roadmap designed to align with organizational readiness and provide a clear path toward identity-driven and workload-level micro-segmentation.

Outcome: A strategic network segmentation roadmap that progressively reduced lateral movement risk and established the architectural foundation for a Zero Trust-aligned enterprise network.
