Opticca Security Zero Trust Security (ZTS) is a managed security service that implements a Zero Trust framework to verify and authorize all network traffic entering and exiting an organization. The service eliminates implicit trust by requiring continuous verification of all users, devices, and applications requesting access to resources. Identity serves as the primary security perimeter, replacing traditional network-perimeter-based defenses. Key operational aspects include: - Multi-factor authentication to reduce the impact of credential theft and phishing attacks - Traffic verification and authorization for both remote and on-site users - Automated access controls that limit user access to only necessary resources, with time-bound restrictions - Continuous monitoring of all access requests, capturing time, location, and application data for audit trail purposes - A unified event store to reduce alert noise and help security operations staff focus on genuine threats - Device security controls addressing vulnerable endpoints, including IoT devices - Attack surface reduction through access restriction and microsegmentation principles The framework is designed to support compliance requirements by maintaining a chain of evidence for all access requests. It is positioned as a consulting and managed service offering, where Opticca guides organizations through technology selection, deployment, and ongoing management of Zero Trust architecture.
