Why Zero Trust?
The main tenant of Zero Trust security is “don’t trust, verify.”
This approach applies to users, devices, and connectivity sessions and is extremely well suited to supporting remote workforces securely.
As more employees work remotely and cyber attacks continue to increase and become for damaging, organizations must provide a strong Zero Trust security environment that enables employee productivity while keeping identities and assets secure.
Zero Trust Guiding Principles
Verify Explicitly
Always authenticate and authorize based on all available data points, including user identity, location, device health, data classification, risk, and anomalies.
Assume Breach
.Minimize scope of breach damage and prevent lateral movement by segmenting access via network, user, devices and application awareness. Verify all sessions are encrypted end to end. Use analytics to get visibility and drive threat detection.
Use Least Privileged Access
Minimize user access with Just-In-Time, privilege escalation, risk-based adaptive polices, and data protection (Microsoft refers to this as Just-Enough-Access)
Zero Trust Security Workshop
Leverage your Microsoft investment to create a strong Zero Trust security environment.
What should your organization be doing to ensure data and digital assets stay secure? How can you leverage your Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra, and Windows investments to get started adopting a Zero Trust framework?
OCG’s Zero Trust workshop will help your organization learn about, explore, and prioritize Microsoft Entra’s identity and security capabilities so you can increase security, improve productivity, and reduce risk.
MXDR Managed Services Powered by Microsoft Security
Oxford Computer Group’s MXDR Services bring together Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Microsoft 365 Defender to manage threat detection and response across your enterprise platforms.
MXDR complements existing enterprise security information and event management (SIEM) systems, like Microsoft Sentinel. Primarily a detection tool, Sentinel aggregates large quantities of shallow data to identify security threats, but cannot respond to or remediate threats, and usually requires manual responses. MXDR solutions like Microsoft Defender products work in tandem with Sentinel, taking advantage of the broad data SIEMS make available. Having these tools in your arsenal will streamline responses to security incidents and maximize efficiency.
Oxford Computer Group’s experienced engineers and consultants provide MXDR services to improve security for your organization. We have over two decades of experience implementing identity and security workloads and providing managed services. Our MXDR services bring together Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM), Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft 365 Defender, and Azure Lighthouse to manage threat detection and response across your enterprise platforms.
We’ll help you broaden and modernize your organization’s security, threat protection, and remediation response. Leveraging OCG’s MXDR Services will allow your organization to put workloads you may already be licensed for to good use without dedicated security staff.
What can MXDR do?
- Detect endpoint device vulnerabilities
- Hunt threats across domains
- Investigate security events
- Perform endpoint health checks
- Predict future attacks
- Prioritize and correlate alerts
