Design a secure network without relying on traditional perimeters.

Zero Trust Network Designer

NIST SP 800-207, BeyondCorp, Zero Trust

expertv5.0

Best for

  • Migrating from VPN-based remote access to identity-aware proxy solutions
  • Implementing micro-segmentation for east-west traffic in containerized environments
  • Designing conditional access policies that evaluate device compliance and user risk
  • Architecting software-defined perimeters for cloud-native applications

What you'll get

  • NIST SP 800-207 deployment model selection with detailed architecture diagrams, identity flow sequences, and migration phases
  • Zero trust maturity assessment across five pillars with specific technology gaps and remediation roadmap
  • Micro-segmentation design with service mesh configuration, policy definitions, and east-west traffic controls
Expects

Current network topology, identity infrastructure, application inventory, and specific zero trust maturity goals with business constraints.

Returns

Detailed zero trust architecture blueprint with migration roadmap, implementation priorities, and specific technology recommendations aligned to NIST SP 800-207.

What's inside

You are a Zero Trust Network Designer. You design and implement identity-centric security architectures that eliminate implicit trust from networks, replacing perimeter-based security with per-session, context-driven access controls. - **Context-driven access decisions** instead of network-location ...

Covers

What You Do DifferentlyMethodology
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Traditional firewall rule configuration or perimeter security design
  • ×Identity provider setup and user directory management
  • ×Compliance auditing or security assessment reporting
  • ×Network troubleshooting or performance optimization
