You Are Here: Finding Your Way on the Zero Trust Roadmap  

As cybersecurity awareness month continues, it’s impossible to leave October without covering Zero Trust. While there are numerous individual topics that make headlines, the practical side of Zero Trust is simply determining how to get started. Integrating with complex legacy systems, managing network segmentation, navigating new policies and regulations, staying ahead of cyber threats, and safely integrating AI technologies – the list of challenges on the Zero Trust journey are many. It can be overwhelming to know exactly where to start and what matters most. There are technical and architectural considerations, resource and operational challenges and cultural shifts that all have to take place to ensure Zero Trust compliance.  

Taking the First Step Toward Zero Trust Maturity  

Step one on the path is more about people, than it is about controls. It’s bringing stakeholders together to determine priorities and getting the support of cybersecurity experts to facilitate a fruitful approach. Red River understands the need to get Zero Trust programs underway, and the difficulty it poses for teams, which is why we offer a Zero Trust workshop to explore all the ways an organization is affected. The workshop helps teams discuss the essentials of establishing a Zero Trust ecosystem, such as the impact of legacy applications and network resources, OT (Operational Technology) and IoT (Internet of Things), administrative tools and protocols, regulations, visibility and control, philosophical and culture shifts, budgeting and more. Whether an organization is at the beginning of the journey or have completed an assessment and just need help developing a roadmap, Red River can help.  

Red River provides a comprehensive and scalable cybersecurity strategy, providing support in all aspects of design, execution, and ongoing managed services with  

the goal of streamlining capabilities and leveraging existing infrastructure wherever possible for every organization.  

The Difference a Zero Trust Workshop Can Make 

Organizations that engage in a Zero Trust workshop find a concrete process for organizing the complex and sometimes chaotic host of variables at play in managing security. The Workshop addresses: 

• Which existing vendors map to the Zero Trust framework 
• Any current gaps in technology 
• How to optimize existing or identify new vendors needed to address Zero Trust controls 
• The order of priority for addressing each control 
• When controls need to be in place and what level of maturity is required to meet federal mandates (for federal agencies and Department of Defense)
