Security architecture
Point Break Security designs and reviews the security of cloud platforms, identity and networks, so that protection is built into your foundations rather than added afterwards. Our advice is vendor-independent and grounded in how attackers actually move through environments.
What's included
What we deliver in security architecture.
Zero trust and identity
Identity and access management, privileged access and phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication.
Network segmentation and hardening
Segmentation designs and hardening that limit how far an attacker can move.
Secure-by-design reviews
Security reviews of new systems and major changes before they go live.
Security tooling selection
Requirements, evaluation and integration of security tools, without vendor bias.
Architecture roadmaps
Target architectures and stepwise plans to reach them.

FAQ
Questions about security architecture.
What is zero trust?
Zero trust is a security model in which no user, device or network is trusted by default. Every access request is verified based on identity, device health and context, and access is limited to what is needed. It reduces the damage an attacker can do after gaining a foothold.
How is an architecture review different from a penetration test?
An architecture review examines how systems are designed and configured, using documentation, interviews and configuration analysis. A penetration test actively attempts to exploit weaknesses. The two complement each other: reviews find design flaws early, and testing proves what an attacker could actually do.
Are your recommendations tied to specific vendors?
No. We are vendor-independent, so recommendations on tools and platforms are based on your requirements and risks.
