| NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture | Establishes foundational principles and logical architecture for zero trust implementation through seven core tenets: explicit resource definition, location-independent security, per-session access, dynamic policy, asset integrity monitoring, dynamic authentication, and comprehensive telemetry collection. |
Summary¶
This cybersecurity lab demonstrates production-ready security capabilities aligned with eight industry-standard frameworks, each validating specific aspects of SecOps, Systems Engineering, and Network Defense operations:
Core Strengths:
- Operational Security Excellence: 100% security event logging with dual SIEM, <5min MTTD, <30min MTTR via automated SOAR workflows
- Technical Architecture Maturity: Defense-in-depth across network/application/endpoint/identity layers with Infrastructure as Code automation
- Framework Compliance: Tier 3-4 NIST CSF, 93% CIS IG1, 77% ISO 27001, Advanced Zero Trust maturity across all pillars
- Zero Trust Implementation: Explicit verification, micro-segmentation, encrypted communications, continuous monitoring achieving Advanced (Stage 3/4) maturity
