For decades, digital security was a “castle and moat” model: a strong outer wall (the firewall) to protect everything inside. In today’s distributed cloud environment, that model is obsolete. With remote work, global data centers, and dozens of APIs, there is no “inside” anymore.

This new reality demands a “Zero Trust” security model, which operates on a simple, powerful principle: never trust, always verify. This means every user, device, and service—both inside and outside your network—must be authenticated and authorized. As part of our Managed IT & Infrastructure services, we implement Zero Trust principles to provide granular, identity-based security that protects our clients’ data at every layer, not just the perimeter.
