Zero Trust Architecture

Zero trust explicitly identifies users and grants them just the right amount of access.  Businesses adopt zero trust architectures so that they can operate with reduced risks.

The CCWP leverages the zero-trust architecture by eliminating implicit trust and least access policies. Granular access policies with strong authentication secure users or applications to enable visibility to only what is needed. Applications components are secured and not implicitly trusted in their communication as well as logged and monitored for validation. The Cytellix® C-CWP™ zero trust architecture secures each organizations data by isolation and segmentation preventing lateral movement with "trust but verify" approach.

Defining Zero Trust


  1. Establish the Right Trust by defining the business operations being impacted, those where risk and exposure would be detrimental and where mitigation of risk is an imperative.

  2. Assume Compromise by building for resilience, prevention of breech with through detection and response capabilities.

  3. Use Identity and Context that is independent of actual location, location of data and works in any working environment.

Balancing Security

Making sure their is a balance between security and the business needs.  Employees, contractors and partners require a system that allows them to run the business.

Adaptive Security

Access should be granted and provided for each level of the organization at a level that enables them to do their job.  As the job role requires access that increases risk, then monitoring in real-time is needed to adapt to changes.

Zero Trust and Cybersecurity

Zero Trust helps optimize a complete cybersecurity program.  Using products and services that have a Zero Trust Architecture will bring value to the overall security posture of your organization

Security Framework Support

Zero Trust is being adopted by the security frameworks such as CMMC, NIST, ISO and others.  This shift in frameworks to recommended or require Zero trust will impact Security Compliance.

Impact on Business Leaders

Business leaders, BOD's and Executives need to consider impacts of Zero Trust on their business process and regulatory compliance for cybersecurity.

Impacted Markets
