CPP’s Zero Trust Security Fabric (ZTSF) follows a “least privilege” model of access using proven solutions to protect an environment from bad actors. We strive to leverage industry leading analytics, detection, and control solutions that go beyond traditional signatures. Providing future-ready, visionary products enables us to help protect environments on multiple fronts. This approach allows us to extend the borders of infrastructure to anywhere and still be protected.

CPP ZTSF (Zero Trust Security Fabric)

What Is the ZTSF?

CPP’s Zero Trust Security Fabric (ZTSF) is built on a “least privilege” access model, ensuring users, devices, and systems only have access to what they absolutely need—nothing more.

Rather than relying solely on traditional signature-based protection, CPP integrates advanced analytics, intelligent detection, and layered control solutions to defend against modern cyber threats. Our approach leverages industry-leading technologies designed to detect, prevent, and respond to evolving security risks.

By implementing forward-thinking, future-ready security solutions, CPP helps organizations protect their environments across multiple layers—from endpoints to infrastructure and beyond. With ZTSF, your security perimeter is no longer confined to a physical location. Protection extends wherever your infrastructure operates—on-premises, remote, hybrid, or in the cloud.

How Does It Work?

CPP’s ZTSF protects customer environments by integrating leading security technologies across several critical areas:

1. Network Infrastructure & Edge Security

  • Aruba wireless and switching solutions
  • Cloud-based network management
  • Remote Access Points (RAPs) and Aruba ESP
  • Fortinet FortiGate firewalls and additional Fortinet security solutions
  • Citrix NetScaler solutions

These technologies secure network access, segment traffic, and protect the edge from unauthorized activity.

2. Server Hardware Security

  • HPE Silicon Root of Trust (HPE Gen10 Servers)
  • HPE OneView
  • HPE InfoSight

This layer ensures server integrity from the hardware up, protecting core infrastructure from firmware and system-level attacks.

3. Advanced Endpoint Protection

  • VMware Carbon Black Suite
  • Sophos antivirus and mobile device encryption

Endpoint security safeguards user devices against ransomware, malware, and advanced persistent threats—whether employees are on-site or remote.

4. Backup & Disaster Recovery with Multi-Factor Protection

  • Veeam
  • Zerto
  • Backup as a Service (BaaS)
  • Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

These solutions incorporate MFA/2FA protections to secure backups and ensure rapid recovery in the event of a cyber incident.

5. Security Assessments & Continuous Monitoring

  • Internal and external penetration testing (third-party validated)
  • InVision internal vulnerability assessments
  • SOC as a Service (SOCaaS)
  • DarkWeb ID domain monitoring

Ongoing assessment and monitoring help organizations proactively identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

6. Authentication & Access Control

  • Aruba ClearPass
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA/2FA) solutions
  • Microsoft LAPS
  • Additional identity and access management solutions

Strong authentication policies ensure that only verified users and devices gain access to critical systems.
