Understanding Altostrat's DUAL Framework

In your business, every day: Users take their Devices to various Locations (like your office, their homes, or even a coffee shop) to access the Applications they need to get work done.

This simple, everyday reality is the key to understanding and mastering your cybersecurity.

Confused by complex security jargon? You're not alone. That's why at Altostrat, we've built our entire approach around this natural flow of business. We call it the DUAL Framework.

What is DUAL? It's Security Built Around Your Business Essentials.

DUAL stands for the four fundamental pillars of your digital operations:

• Users: Your valued team members, employees, and anyone who needs secure network access.
• Devices: The laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, and even office equipment like printers that connect to your network.
• Locations: Your physical offices, branch sites, and the remote environments where your team operates.
• Applications: The software and cloud services essential to your daily tasks – from email and CRM to specialized industry tools.

By focusing on these four clear and tangible elements, DUAL transforms cybersecurity from a technical puzzle into a manageable business strategy.

Why a Framework? Making Security Make Sense.

Traditional cybersecurity often gets lost in the weeds of IP addresses, port numbers, and complex rule sets. This makes it difficult for business leaders to grasp the overall security picture or see how it connects to their operational needs.

The DUAL framework changes the conversation. Instead of technical deep dives, we help you secure your business by focusing on:

Securing Your Users: How do we ensure the right people always have the right level of access? This means straightforward, secure logins for everyone, clearly identifying who is on your network.

Protecting Your Devices: How can we be sure the laptops, phones, and other equipment your team relies on aren't creating vulnerabilities? This involves knowing every device connecting to your network and ensuring it’s free from known security risks.

Safeguarding Your Locations: How do we protect your offices and branches from cyber threats while guaranteeing dependable internet access for your team? This means intelligent internet connections and a robust, secure perimeter for each site.

Controlling Your Applications: How do we manage which software and cloud services your team can utilize, and ensure they are used securely and productively? This is about ensuring critical business applications always get priority and that risky or unauthorized apps are kept at bay.

The Altostrat Difference: Intelligent Security, Simplified.

By building our solutions around the DUAL framework, Altostrat offers a smarter, more intuitive path to managing your business's cybersecurity:

• Clear Visibility: Gain a straightforward understanding of who is doing what, with which devices, from which locations, and on what applications.
• Simplified Management: Security controls are designed around your business operations, making them easy to understand and configure, even if you're not a tech expert.
• Proactive Protection: Our platform intelligently learns what’s “normal” for your business across these four pillars. This helps us detect and stop unusual or risky activity – often before it can cause a problem.
• Peace of Mind: When your security strategy aligns with the everyday realities of your business, you can reduce worry about cyber threats and concentrate on your core mission: running and growing your company.
