The problem

The migration to co-location facilities created an opportunity to implement Zero Trust principles, but the team needed granular controls across applications, a way to validate effectiveness through proof of value, and a path to streamline policy management at scale.

How BTA delivered

Cisco Secure Workload enforced east-west policy at the application tier. BTA's Architect Explorer handled policy ranking, lifecycle management, and compliance reporting. The deployment ran through SIMPLE (Start, Immerse, Map, Prove, Launch, Evolve).

Outcomes in production

Zero Trust micro-segmentation went into production across the enterprise IT environment. Policy analysis and enforcement timelines compressed from months to weeks, and audit and compliance efficiency improved by up to 70% through automated dashboards and reporting.

What makes us different

We're architects who execute.

Three principles every BTA engagement runs on. Visible in the work itself.

  • We architect, deploy, and stay through Day-2.

    Every engagement is end-to-end. We design the target environment, deploy it in stages, and remain on hand through the operational handoff.

  • We train your team to own the outcome.

    Training is part of every engagement. By the close of an engagement, your operators can run, maintain, and defend the system to an auditor.

  • We measure success when your team runs it alone.

    An engagement closes when your team is operating the solution without us in the room. SIMPLE methodology enforces this exit criterion on every project.
