Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) – A Core Focus.

Designing and implementing Zero Trust security frameworks tailored to any organization, ensuring a “never trust, always verify” approach. My ZTA implementations align with NIST and ISO 27001 standards, incorporating:

Micro-segmentation for enhanced network security.

Least privilege access controls to reduce attack surfaces.

Continuous monitoring and adaptive security.

Identity and device verification at every access attempt.
