5 Steps to Secure your Infrastructure
1. Assessment & Discovery
Audit your current environment to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and risk exposure across cloud, network, and endpoints.
2. Architecture & Planning
Design a secure, scalable architecture tailored to your business — including segmentation, IAM, and policy enforcement.
3. Hardening & Deployment
Implement security controls: configure M365, Azure/AWS security features, deploy firewalls, MFA, endpoint protection, and automated backups.
4. Monitoring & Response
Set up real-time monitoring, logging, and alerts to detect threats early. Configure SIEM/SOAR, Defender for Cloud, or similar tools.
5. Maintenance & Training
Ongoing patching, auditing, and employee security awareness — ensuring long-term protection and compliance.
