WWT SECURITY ENGINEERING & OPERATIONS SERVICES
Building a secure future
Security Engineering and Operations Services
As organizations introduce new business services and technology upgrades, they must address the increased cybersecurity risks that come with such advancements.
With so many cybersecurity tools, standards and programs flooding today's market, how do you know which ones will be most effective? You need a partner that can help you identify and protect what's most important to your business, defend against the known and unknown, and strategically manage your cybersecurity challenges.
At WWT, we see cybersecurity as a business enabler — a way to reduce risk, increase resilience and accelerate growth. Our team of security technologists, engineers and CISOs have decades of expertise across security products and services. We've helped executives and IT teams across industries build, implement and run security products and programs in highly complex environments.

What We Do
Our global cybersecurity consultants help you prepare for and respond to today's persistent and changing threat landscape. Through an advisory-first approach, we define, discover, create and deliver strategies that strengthen security posture and enable business outcomes.
We start by understanding your existing teams and processes. Then we leverage the right technologies to build cyber resilience on a solid foundation of zero trust. We can help you assess and minimize risk, increase market trust, reduce costs, provide governance and implement the controls needed to protect your valuable data and assets.
Identity & access management
Identity and Access Management (IAM) ensures the right people and devices have the right access at the right time. These solutions reduce risk to data and systems by streamlining the authentication, authorization, automated provisioning/de-provisioning and access review process. Automation makes access decisions easier while providing cost and time savings. We have extensive experience providing access controls, identity governance, federation services and enabling security application access across hybrid environments.

Network security & endpoint management
Most IT organizations today lack visibility into end-user performance issues. They typically investigate only the performance issues users complain about — a mere fraction of the total incidents that occur. As a result, end-user productivity suffers. When investigating performance issues, IT teams often resort to manual troubleshooting processes, which can fail to identify the root cause due to a lack of historical data from the time incidents occurred. We can steer your IT teams in the proper direction.

Cloud security
Cloud security is a set of technologies and procedures used to protect cloud-based data, applications and infrastructure. These solutions deliver transparent visibility, policies and controls across the entire cloud attack surface, down to the virtual traffic layer. If your organization has assets in the cloud, they need the same protection you give on-premise assets.
Our services
- Cloud security & orchestration
- Virtualization & container security
- Advanced threat protection
- Tools optimization
- Multicloud (SaaS-IaaS)
Our services
- SOAR workshops
- Playbook creation
- Increase visibility
- SOAR development

SOAR
Security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) technologies enable organizations to efficiently observe, understand, decide and act on security incidents from a single interface. SOAR is poised to revolutionize security operations, specifically the way security teams manage, analyze and respond to alerts and threats. Without some type of automation, security analysts end up manually dealing with a rising number of cyberattacks from increasingly sophisticated bad actors.
Enterprise security segmentation
Enterprise segmentation, the act of dividing a network into zones to better defend it, often starts as a security engagement and quickly evolves into a broader discussion about how the customer can move along their digital transformation journey. Enterprise segmentation touches nearly every aspect of the business, from data center infrastructure to remote access.

Zero Trust
Zero Trust is a means of successfully preventing cyberattacks. However, traditional security models and the pervasive concept of "all or nothing" has left companies hesitant to begin the Zero Trust journey. Fortunately, building a Zero Trust architecture is much simpler than it appears. Zero Trust is an augmentation of your existing architecture, it doesn't require a complete technology overhaul. It can be deployed iteratively while allowing you to take advantage of the tools and technologies you already have.
