Package 4: KMS Absolute Zero Trust Network

Micro-Segmentation with Intelligent Threat Prevention

The Network Security Threat Landscape

Network-based attacks account for 64% of successful breaches, with lateral movement enabling attackers to reach critical assets within 10 minutes of initial compromise. Ransomware operators systematically exploit flat network architectures to spread encryption across entire organizations, while legacy firewall configurations with overly permissive "any-to-any" rules create highways for attackers. AI enhanced reconnaissance tools now automate network mapping and vulnerability discovery faster than manual security reviews.

The KMS Solution: Absolute Zero Trust Network

KMS Absolute Zero Trust Network transforms legacy network architectures through intelligent micro segmentation and software-defined perimeter controls. Azure Firewall Premium deployment with integrated threat intelligence blocks known threats and emerging attack patterns in real-time. Application-specific security zones prevent lateral movement while intelligent monitoring detects and responds to suspicious traffic patterns before they impact critical systems.

Core Capabilities

Package deliverables providing comprehensive network security and micro-segmentation

  • Azure Firewall Premium Deployment - Next-generation cloud firewall with integrated threat intelligence, TLS inspection, and threat protection

  • Network Micro-Segmentation - Application-specific security zones preventing lateral movement with dynamic policy enforcement

  • Legacy Firewall Modernization - Systematic cleanup of dangerous "any-to-any" rules and implementation of least-privilege network access

  • Application Gateway & WAF Integration - Layer 7 protection with OWASP Top 10 threat defense and DDoS mitigation capabilities

  • Network Security Groups Optimization - Traffic filtering and access control with automated policy management

  • Threat Intelligence Integration - Real-time threat feeds and behavioral analytics for proactive threat detection

Built-In Observability

Package deliverables ensuring complete network visibility and threat detection

  • Network Traffic Analytics - Real-time visualization of traffic patterns, connections, and data flows across network segments

  • Threat Detection Dashboards - Monitoring for lateral movement attempts, suspicious connections, and policy violations

  • Firewall Performance Metrics - Analytics on blocked threats, policy effectiveness, and network security posture

  • Executive Network Views - Enhanced dashboards covering identity, workspace, data, and now network security metrics

We include observability as core infrastructure because Zero Trust requires zero blindspots. Every deployment includes monitoring and dashboards to ensure you can see your security working.

Security-as-Code Delivery

  • Infrastructure-as-Code - Network security infrastructure with automated deployment, configuration management, and version control

  • Battle-Tested Configurations - Proven network security patterns eliminating implementation risk and operational disruption

  • Transparent Architecture - Full visibility into network security infrastructure with modification and extension capabilities

Business Impact

  • Block lateral movement attacks and contain breaches at the network level

  • Reduce network attack surface by 80% through intelligent micro-segmentation

  • Replace aging firewall infrastructure with modern cloud-native security

  • Achieve granular network visibility with automated threat detection and response

  • Enable secure application deployment with built-in protection and monitoring
