Risk mitigation
Improved system reliability and performance
This project is critical to DSS operations supporting applications used for:
Public assistance
Housing and shelter services
Benefits distribution systems
Responsibilities:
DSS has distributed workforce working from numerous branch offices and remote workers generating data traffic routed to the main datacenter in Brooklyn.
The datacenter migration involves amongst other things a highly complex VMware environment that demands a specialized resource.
VMware consultants are essential for navigating complexities and ensuring success.
They bring critical expertise in planning and executing the transitions while mitigating risk such as unplanned downtime data loss and compatibility issues.
Furthermore we plan to implement the Zero Trust model by utilizing micro segmentation technologies such as VMware NSX where the network is broken into many compartments which will implicitly not trust the adjacent compartments and all access has to be directly assigned using rule/role-based firewall policies.
We will utilize micro segmentation as traditional perimeter defenses are insufficient to detect and prevent internal threats or compromised security credentials.
We would need consultants who specialize in this technology and assist in:
o Identifying user IDs and applications accessed in performing assigned job functions.
o Identifying the source IP addresses destination IP addresses and ports on servers in the VMware and physical environment that are communicating with each other to fetch and upload data.
o Creating firewall policies on VMware NSX ensuring that workloads applications and users are isolated and only allowed to communicate as strictly necessary minimizing the risk of lateral movement during a breach.
o Utilizing micro segmentation to ensure that we meet the compliance audit readiness concerning HIPPA FTI and FLPS data.
o Enhancing Cloud and Hybrid Security as we have compute resources on premises as well as in the AWS Cloud and Azure Cloud.
