Trybus Solutions assesses, designs and builds the security controls around a network, its users and its devices: firewalls and segmentation, endpoint protection, identity and multi-factor authentication, logging and detection, and secure access for people working outside the office.
Most of this work starts for one of a few reasons. A customer or an insurer has sent a questionnaire the environment cannot answer honestly. A firewall estate is coming up on end of support. An audit has produced findings with dates attached. An acquisition has joined two networks never designed to meet.
Our clients usually have their own IT team, and often somebody who owns security as part of a wider job. We are there for the parts that need people who have built this before.
Scope varies. A firewall refresh across two sites does not need the documentation an identity rollout across thirty does. Below is what we produce on a typical mid-size project, and we agree which of it you need at scoping.
Everything we produce is yours. If you take the design elsewhere to be built, it will be complete enough for somebody else to build it.
Six areas, and most projects touch more than one.
Firewall estates at the edge and at branch sites, and the segmentation that decides which parts of the estate can reach each other. Most rule bases we inspect carry entries nobody can explain, so inventory comes first, then a policy that matches how the organization operates, then enforcement in stages.
Protection software, hardening baselines, disk encryption, and a patching approach that allows for the machines which cannot be patched on the normal cycle. The number that matters here is the share of machines carrying a healthy agent that reports in, which is never what the console shows on day one.
Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, access policy by risk and device, privileged accounts, and the joiner, mover and leaver process underneath it, with hardware-backed keys where a phishing-resistant factor is required. Enrollment, the exceptions people ask for in the first two weeks, and what happens when somebody loses a factor while traveling decide how a rollout is remembered.
Deciding what to collect, how long to keep it and what that costs, then building detections that mean something in your environment rather than leaving a default rule set to produce noise. Each detection gets a runbook, and who watches the resulting queue is a decision of its own.
Remote access that grants a person the applications they need rather than a route into the whole network, with the same discipline for contractors, suppliers and support vendors. Third-party access is the part most organizations know is wrong and keep postponing, usually because the vendor at the other end has connected the same way for a decade.
Building management systems, cameras, badge readers, medical equipment, lab instruments and industrial controllers. Protection software cannot be installed on most of it and an aggressive scan can knock a controller over, so discovery is passive and segmentation carries the load. The people who own that equipment rarely sit in IT, so we bring them in at scoping.
Broadly the same shape whether it is a firewall pair at one site or an identity rollout across the organization. Timescales depend on the size of the estate, the state of the documentation and how much of your team is available.
Most of what is below is work we do. It is not part of a security project by default, because each piece carries its own scope, its own schedule and its own cost. If you want any of it included, say so at scoping and we will quote it in. The last item is different: it is work we do not do at all.
The controls do not change much between sectors. What changes is which one gets attention first, and what an organization can take offline to fix it.
Clinical systems and connected equipment that cannot be patched or taken down at will, which pushes work toward segmentation and access control.
Procurement rules, records retention, and a duty to keep services running for people with no alternative provider.
Sovereignty over data and systems, funding cycles outside the commercial year, and estates spanning government, health, education and gaming on shared infrastructure.
Supervision and retention obligations, third-party access regulators expect to see governed, and little tolerance for unplanned downtime.
Open networks carrying unmanaged personal devices, a seasonal turnover of accounts, and budgets that follow an academic year.
Payment environments that have to stay separated, and many small sites with no local IT.
Multi-site estates at different stages of modernization, often still carrying the network and accounts inherited from an acquisition.
We hold partner relationships across the security industry, and our engineers also work in platforms we do not sell. A security project starts on whatever you are running now, whoever supplied it.
We do not publish comparisons between manufacturers. Which platform suits an organization is something an assessment works out, not something a website should decide.
Tell us what you are running, what prompted the conversation and what date is driving it. We will tell you what we think needs doing and what does not, and put a scope and a number against it.
