From Zero Trust to Zero Compromises

NIST’s ZTA guidelines

How Lumu Helps

“All data sources and computing services are considered resources” Today’s networks include the cloud, various geographic regions, remote workers, BYOD, and IoT. All these elements need to be included under the coverage of a zero-trust deployment.

Lumu continuously monitors network metadata from all types of devices, no matter the nature of their connection. With cloud collectors and the ability to work through existing VPN connections, Lumu delivers full compromise visibility.

“The enterprise monitors and measures the integrity and security posture of all owned and associated assets.” Organizations will frequently only cover assets they consider to be critical for logistical and financial reasons. NIST’s ZTA deployments avoid this by covering the entirety of the network.

Lumu’s Continuous Compromise Assessment is designed to be effortlessly deployed across the entirety of your network, leaving no gaps behind.

“The enterprise collects as much information as possible about the current state of assets, network infrastructure, and communications and uses it to improve its security posture.” The network is every attack’s pathway. A key and often forgotten component of a Zero Trust architecture is our ability to monitor and control this pathway, making the network work for you and not the cybercriminals.

Lumu’s Continuous Compromise Assessment collects network metadata and analyzes it in real time, allowing you to quickly and easily understand your own compromise reality and enable you to answer the most critical question in cybersecurity: “Has my network infrastructure already been compromised?” 

A ZTA deployment is a dynamic security posture that must evolve with the ever-changing nature of the network as well as the threats landscape. Managing such a solution requires being able to measure the effectiveness of each component.

Setting a compromise level benchmark is crucial. Lumu closes the feedback loop in cybersecurity, allowing you to tell where more investment is needed, or where current investments are under-performing. This crucial information lets you hone each component of your ZTA

“Visibility on the Network” is a key threat associated with ZTA. In situations where enterprises cannot perform deep packet inspection or if traffic is opaque to layer 3 network analysis, NIST recommends collecting metadata for analysis using machine learning techniques

Lumu specifically ingests a wide range of network metadata for inspection. The Illumination Process measures this metadata against IoC using both Artificial Intelligence and Deep Correlation to deliver confirmed compromises in real time.
