Zero Trust Security Solutions

Protect your applications, data, users, devices, and networks against cyber threats with GSI's Zero Trust cybersecurity solutions and services. GSI's unified approach defends against ransomware, malware, zero-day attacks, and more while also addressing vulnerabilities. 

What is Zero Trust Security?

Zero TrustThe zero trust security model covers a series of continuous validations to improve the network security of an organization's system. The zero-trust approach solves security issues for remote access workers and hybrid work environments. The zero trust security framework is also beneficial in multi-cloud environments or those with unmanaged external devices.

The zero-trust network access model works by implementing zero-trust frameworks, which means data encryption, secure email processes, and user identity verification before syncing applications.

The zero trust security model primarily means "zero trust." Because security risk is present both externally and internally, it's better to adopt a zero-trust strategy. Never trust, always verify. Zero implicit trust in the zero trust architecture means no external vendor or user can be trusted with secure access. Integrating a zero-trust network improves endpoint security by addressing threats like ransomware, supply chain attacks, and threats from within the organization's network.

The zero trust model moves away from previous strategies of trust. Instead, no user is granted secure access until all the requirements of the zero trust model have been met, which often include identity and access management, multi-factor authentication MFA, and a secure web gateway.

The core frameworks of the zero trust strategy include:
 
  • Continuous, ongoing access management
  • Minimizing risk
  • Automating the collection of data for accurate results

Zero Trust Solutions and Security- Allowlisting, Ringfencing, Storage Control, Elevation Control, Network Access

GSI's comprehensive solutions include ThreatLockers's Application Allowlisting, Ringfencing, Storage Control, Elevation Control, and Network Access Control.

The SolarWinds/Orion software attack recently shook the cybersecurity landscape, penetrating over a hundred companies and government agencies. Among the affected entities were industry giants Microsoft, Intel, and Cisco and federal departments such as the Treasury, Justice, Energy, and even the Pentagon and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

GSI empowers your security posture through the following services.

 

Allowlisting / Whitelisting

Keeping your computer safe from malicious software is of utmost importance, and ThreatLocker's Allowlisting provides an effective security measure to achieve this. This approach acts as a strong barrier against ransomware and malware infiltrating your device by explicitly approving applications that are permitted to run on your system.

During installation, the agent identifies all applications and dependencies running on your computer and creates policies that permit them. This allows you to review the list and remove any unnecessary applications, giving you high control over the software running on your servers and endpoints. Such control is crucial in minimizing cyber threats and preventing unauthorized applications from accessing your network.

Ringfencing

ThreatLocker's Ringfencing™ empowers you and your organization with complete control over the applications already running, thus limiting the possibility of successful attacks or exploitation. With Ringfencing™, you can manage the software, scripts, executables, and libraries that can operate on your servers and endpoints, providing additional protection against cyber threats and unauthorized access.

This feature enables you to withdraw file access permissions for applications that don't require access, remove network or registry permissions, and customize detailed application policies to suit your organization's unique requirements.

Deploying Ringfencing™ aligns your device with default policies that provide a baseline level of privileged access for all endpoints, ensuring your data remains secure and protected from fileless malware, application attacks, or unauthorized access.

Storage Control

Protection of your data against unauthorized access or theft is of utmost importance. The all-encompassing Storage Control tool provides a solution through policy-driven control, allowing you to manage storage devices, including local folders, network shares, and external storage such as USB drives.

ThreatLocker® Storage Control also offers granular policies, from simply blocking USB drives to blocking access to backup shares, except when accessed by your backup application, providing a comprehensive solution to safeguard your data.


Elevation Control

Elevation Control by ThreatLocker takes your security to the next level by allowing IT administrators to remove local admin privileges from users yet still permitting them to run specific applications as an administrator. This grants complete control over which applications can be run as a local admin without giving users local admin rights. 

Zero Trust Network Access Control (NAC)

With cyber threats on the rise, protecting your network is more important than ever. That's where NAC solutions come in, and ThreatLocker® NAC provides the ultimate protection for your endpoints and servers.

Thanks to custom policies allowing access to specific IP addresses authenticated by agents, you can watch endpoint policies and network traffic from a central location. With dynamic ACLs that block unauthorized access to servers and endpoints and open ports based on the device's location or group, you can ensure a secure connection between the server and the client. By deploying ThreatLocker® NAC, you can rest easy knowing your devices and data are shielded from cyber threats.

Continuous Validation

Continuous monitoring is a crucial part of the zero-trust architecture. Enforcement of the zero trust model by security teams is also essential. A large percentage of sensitive data breaches arise from stolen credentials or the misuse of the network perimeter, making ongoing threat intelligence a priority.

Challenges Addressed by Zero Trust Solution

The zero trust security strategy helps solve the following workplace challenges.

Challenge - Credential-Based Attack

A credential-based attack occurs when a trusted user's credentials are used to gain unauthorized access.

Solution

The zero trust tool uses authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication and network segmentation using multiple checkpoints, to verify identity before granting user access. Adaptive conditional access also automates the protection and remediation of cybersecurity risks.

Challenge - Virus, Malware, and Ransomware Attacks

Virus, malware, and ransomware attacks pose continuous cybersecurity challenges.

Solution

Zero Trust uses a combination of Default Deny & Ringfencing to protect against known and unknown malware threats

Challenge - Erosion of Traditional Control point

Traditional control points, including Cloud, SaaS, and digital supply chain, create vulnerabilities within your company. 

Solution

Zero trust visibility helps overcome this challenge by enforcing stringent access controls, checking device health, and monitoring user activity for remote workers, cloud resources, SaaS solutions, and digital supply chain vulnerabilities.

 

Challenge - Insider threats 

Insider Threats also present significant risks.

Solution

Strict access controls are based on a zero-trust network. All user credentials are checked and validated before allowing access to the system.

Challenge - Compliance requirements (NIST, HIPAA, CIS, PCI and other regulators)

The complexity of complying with regulations.

Solution

Federal and state agencies have strict compliance requirements. Implementing rigorous access controls, encryption, and monitoring capabilities can help meet zero trust principles guidelines to optimize a brand's security strategy.

Challenge - Lateral Movement on Network After Breach

Vulnerabilities related to lateral movement after a breach.

Solution

Granular access controls to limit movement on the network, helping to boost threat protection. A cloud access security broker can also ensure proper cloud security while migrating data to external servers.
