Security should always start with zero trust - assume no one is trusted to access your network. A Fortis Zero Trust Workshop assists customers in identifying their highest areas of risk for workplace, workforce, and workload. We approach your systems from the standpoint of an untrusted user/device and uncover any gaps within your security infrastructure in order to mitigate such risks. Fortis strategic advisors then work with you to help harden your systems as quickly as possible.
