360° Protection with Zero-Trust Security

Before cloud services became mainstream, every quintessential document and data concerning an organization was stored and managed within its premise–security teams managed, monitored, and protected everything that went in and out of any given location. In essence, everything ‘within the walls’ was protected under stringent security protocols and could be instinctively trusted. Fast forward to today, the world is no longer the same.

A company's footprint has expanded beyond the physical borders of its offices, enabling employees to work from anywhere, owing to ubiquitous cloud services. Employees can access company assets anytime and anywhere from their mobile devices, PC, and tablets via cloud softwares. Let alone the pandemic, which compelled organizations across the globe to make digital processes the central nervous system of their operations and migrate to cloud services to remain operational in unprecedented circumstances. As security perimeters are no longer restricted within the ‘walls,’ valuable assets and data are constantly being transmitted between SaaS applications, data centers, volatile and IoT devices, and more, making them easy targets for cybercriminals. Evidently, it is high time for a paradigm shift in the enterprise security domain–a shift accurately executed by FortIT AG. “Cyber attacks are constantly increasing, and systematic security management is becoming more mandatory; it is no longer optional,” says Rolf Wagner, Founder of FortIT AG. The company is at the forefront of innovation with its remarkably efficient Zero-Trust Security model that assures 360° protection against dynamic cyber security menace.

Managed by three cybersecurity connoisseurs, Rolf Wagner, Dr. Michael Schläpfer, and Marco Vergari, who offer their longstanding experiences, FortIT is on a mission to enable secure digital business operations abounded by consistent efforts aimed towards the utilization of contemporary cyber security solutions and technologies.

Zero-Trust Security Model

The perpetual failure of static perimeter-based security models has stimulated the development of numerous cybersecurity frameworks. Still, seldom has any concept proven its competence in providing protection against the dynamic cybersecurity nuances of today’s environment, as has Zero- Trust Security.

Cyber attacks are constantly increasing, and systematic security management is becoming more mandatory; it is no longer optional

Riding on the coattails of the framework's success, FortIT AG has developed a Zero-Trust Security Model that offers exhaustive protection while integrating risk-based analysis. Based on the supplementary information about a client’s digital identities, locations, access time, and other factors, FortIT’s model enables users to formulate finely defined access rules that bridge the difference between optimum security and user-friendliness. Upholding the fundamental principles of Zero-Trust Security–Never Trust, Always Verify–the company offers three basic pillars of capabilities that result in the holistic success of the solutions:

• Access Management: Users can execute adaptive authentication and authorization procedures that are based on risk levels determined by contextual information analysis.

• Segmentation: FortIT’s solution logically executes a dynamic partition of networks based on traffic and workload, providing users the ability to control workloads across multiple data centers and cloud environments.

• Security Operations: The Zero-Trust Security solution constantly identifies, analyzes, and responds to questionable activities, providing around-the-clock security protocol that keeps cyber threats at bay. “Critical infrastructure can, for example, use the security control set of the business administration’s minimum ICT standard to continuously check their maturity,” says Wagner. Complementing FortIT’s Zero-Trust Security solutions is a vast portfolio of secure digital business consulting services, where the company functions as an advisory panel for its clients, empowering them to implement their digital transformation strategies accurately.
