I help organizations design, assess, and operationalize Zero Trust security architectures — grounded in NIST SP 800-207 and the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, and mapped to real infrastructure rather than vendor marketing.

With over a decade in cybersecurity and deep, hands-on delivery experience running Zero Trust Network Access and Secure Web Gateway platforms at enterprise scale (including Zscaler ZIA/ZPA for a global industrial technology company), I bring both the strategic framework fluency and the operational rigor needed to move Zero Trust from concept to production.

Services include:

Zero Trust maturity assessments benchmarked against NIST 800-207 and CISA ZTMM
ZTNA/SASE architecture design and vendor-neutral technology evaluation
Complete design and deployment of Zscaler and other security solutions
Major transformation projects in network security.
Azure-integrated Zero Trust deployment guidance
Translation of legacy perimeter-based security into identity- and context-aware access models

I work directly with security leadership and infrastructure teams to close the gap between framework and implementation — not just what Zero Trust should look like, but how to actually get there.
