Zero Trust Monitoring, Detection, and Response from Atomicorp
Comprehensive zero trust security must bridge seven architectural pillars to protect sensitive data and IT and OT systems. Let Atomicorp zero trust monitoring and detection help to achieve your zero trust objectives and vision with defense-in-depth endpoint, cloud and application system protection and professional support.
Zero Trust Monitoring, Detection, and Response
Zero trust is a security discipline and software architecture of least privilege access and implicitly trusting nothing. It requires users, devices and software systems to uniquely identify themselves digitally and pass scrutiny prior to a network handshake or ensuing action. Most zero trust strategies, as described in NIST Special Publication 800-207, aim to cover seven core pillars where security controls should be applied.
Atomicorp’s endpoint and cloud workload protection software solution spans the seven pillars of zero trust security architectures. Our detection, response and compliance solutions collect telemetry and other information to protect users, devices, application and workload, data, network and environment, automation and orchestration, visibility and analytics (see below).

NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Pillars
Zero Trust Pillar 1 — Users / Identity
Be able to manage user identities on devices with the foundation of Atomic OSSEC system agents and a hub. For asset inventory, Atomic OSSEC discovers and identifies users of servers and laptops, and the operating system and applications they’re using. Atomic OSSEC also detects behavioral anomalies that signify intrusion. Engineered according to the principles of least privilege, Atomic OSSEC also supports multifactor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) through APIs, enabling integration with commercial IAM solutions like Google Authenticator, MFA partners such as YubiKey, and open-source identity and access management platforms like Keycloak.
Zero Trust Pillar 2 — Devices
Atomicorp ingests data from the monitored devices for a hardware bill of materials (HBOM). The Atomic OSSEC detection and response system provides real-time inspection through log-based intrusion detection, file integrity monitoring (FIM) and malware detection, malware memory analysis, as well as an intelligent hardening to overcome weak security defaults in device and system software. This protects your endpoints, files, systems, APIs, and data. The IDS can be deployed through agents and/or from a hub proxy. Zero trust is also about securing vulnerable systems so they don’t serve as an entry point for intruders to penetrate more sensitive data and control systems. Atomicorp provides advanced detection, response, and compliance on legacy and end of life (EOL) software systems, including Windows, AIX, Solaris, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, macOS, and early Unix-based OSs.

Zero Trust Pillar 3 — Network and Environment
Every connection inside and outside your zero trust boundary can be monitored with defense-in-depth detection. Strengthen and protect your insides against malice, intrusion and escalation often achieved via malicious lateral movement/east-to-west traffic. The server and endpoint protection in Atomic OSSEC comes with its own firewalling capabilities, which can operate inside the zero trust boundary and as a powerful remote web application firewall (WAF). Be able to apply defense-in-depth monitoring, blocking, data protection, and response at web, cloud and network chokepoints (i.e., policy enforcement points, or PEPs).
Zero Trust Pillar 4 — Applications and Workload
Atomic OSSEC can continuously monitor APIs and data flow and analyze logs for malware, intrusion, and software component and supply chain compromise such as malware hashes. Our log-based intrusion detection and SIEM can also provide the foundational elements for software bill of materials (SBOM), which is crucial for ensuring the integrity of the software supply chain.
Zero Trust Pillar 5 — Data
Atomicorp delivers real-time protection and accountability for your file and database systems using deep file scanning and activity monitoring. As data moves and changes classification, Atomic OSSEC tracks its location and access, enforcing least privilege, redaction, and compliance controls. Features include real-time file integrity monitoring, forensic-ready redundant backups before and after file changes, and detection and prevention of data leaks (i.e., DLP).

Zero Trust Pillar 6 — Visibility and Analytics
Log-based intrusion detection across OSs and cloud platforms serves as the basis for automated rapid response, threat hunting, forensic analysis, and data loss prevention (DLP). The IDS engine collects security logs from a variety of modern and legacy OSs, cloud data environments, and other security tools. It analyzes SIEM data, provides alerts, displays intelligence in a GUI, to standardize data and assess risk. This visualization console and dashboard enables IT security managers to leverage the analysis of anomalous events and behavior, patterns, and vulnerabilities, and apply additional security controls over user and system activities.
Zero Trust Pillar 7 — Automation and Orchestration
Atomic OSSEC provides a versatile multi-OS and web and hybrid cloud platform from which security software services can be orchestrated and response automated. The WAF element in Atomic OSSEC is a source of powerful machine learning and analysis. This enables user organizations to recognize and respond to patterns and generate real-time actionable intelligence related to attacks, malicious code, SQL attacks, brute force login failures, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and more. Atomicorp solutions use AI for large language models (LLMs), which provides the platform on which to create additional automated security rules.
Atomicorp Zero Trust Security Solutions
Atomicorp zero trust monitoring, detection, response and compliance solutions extend to secure many foundational requirements of zero trust pillar enforcement. Be able to orchestrate zero trust policy related to individual users, groups, devices, OSs, applications and workloads, networks and environments, while automating advanced intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, and policy enforcement points.
