The problem

The firm needed enhanced security controls without compromising IT agility and responsiveness. Leadership wanted granular security zones based on real-time traffic analysis, but the team needed a path that delivered quickly and stayed operable on Day-2.

How BTA delivered

BTA designed and executed a proof of value with Cisco Secure Workload. The engagement combined product deployment, security policy development, staff mentoring, formal training, and operational documentation to enable rapid adoption. Integration with ServiceNow extended workflows into existing operations.

Outcomes in production

The team deployed across on-premises and cloud environments, integrated with ServiceNow, and completed the engagement in 6 months. The customer gained granular security zones based on real-time traffic analysis while preserving the agility business operations require.

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.
