Gruve’s Design and Enablement team will ensure that your cybersecurity products are optimally configured to reduce risk in measurable ways. We will provide you with design and implementation documentation along with test plans necessary to demonstrate the effectiveness of those services. Gruve can also support pilots and provide extended lifecycle support for your Cybersecurity needs.
Network Access Control (NAC)
NAC services including Cisco ISE and HPE ClearPass protect your network from direct attack. A NAC solution will allow you to implement principles of least privilege and network segmentation effectively.
Identity Access Management (IAM)
IAM service such Entra ID, Okta or Ping Identity are a critical components of an organization’s security perimeter. These services have complicated capabilities that are often underutilized.
Multifactor Authentication (MFA)
MFA has been universally adopted; however, the Identity Assurance Level (IAL) can vary from completely dependable to easily socially engineered. We can advise your company on the proper IAL for each application, secure your implementation and build support process which will ensure that MFA remains effective.
Remote Access VPN
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are still a part of security landscapes for access. Now is a good time to revisit their design and implementation. Gruve can assist you in making sure they don’t expose your company to acceptable risk and help you move towards newer security models when appropriate.
SSE
Secure Service Edge is the next stage of evolution of remote access. It enables remote users to be continuously secured by your organization’s security policies, whether they are accessing internal or public resources. SSE solutions include the following next-generation features:
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
Firewall as a Service (FWaaS)
Cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWF)
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) 
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
EDR tools including CrowdStrike and Cisco XDR proactively block or reduce threats on endpoints. We can assist you in running these solutions or simply improving your response plans and configurations.
Threat Detection
Forensic Investigation
Incident Response Our design and enablement services offer deep experience in every aspect of network security. Our team of networking professionals can help you identify the desired technology based on your organization’s skills, security requirements, and business outcomes.
Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)
NGFWs offer control and visibility into any network traffic they are assigned to control. There configuration can be exhaustingly complex and a single error can expose your business. We have access to tools and services that will ensure proper configuration. Features of NGFWs include:
Threat Intelligence
Deep Packet Inspection SSL/TLS Decryption
Malware Detection
Sinkholes
DNS-Security 
Segmentation
Optimally designed network segmentation can slow or even stop attackers once they are inside your infrastructure. We advise our customers on the best network segmentation solution for their business and help them with policies, rules and configuration. A properly segmented network can provide effective protection against even zero-day attacks.
Security Information and Event Monitoring (SIEM)
SIEM solutions provide valuable real time details of cyber-attacks, but companies are usually too slow in recognizing the Indicators of Compromise. Proper Use Case Design can leverage your existing SIEM to show these attacks in real time. We can help you optimize:
Data Collection
Data Consolidation
Use Case Design
Data Policy Alerts
Cyber Incident Alerts 
Security Orchestration and Automated Response (SOAR)
SOAR solutions enable your SOC and IR teams to perform efficiently by responding to threats correctly and consistently. Gruve can teach to leverage AI to improve:
Threat Intelligence Management
Case Management
Security Automation
Security Orchestration 
Gruve upgraded 208 servers, in the largest ISE environment for wired networks and Remote Access VPN, to the latest Cisco hardware with zero downtime. This allowed the customer to secure access for about 600,000 users. Our change management facilitated new feature implementations, and we set up a pre-production environment with 48 servers for testing. Collaboration with Cisco TAC ensured rapid resolution of critical issues and seamless operations.
