Cloud & Hybrid Architectures
A hub-and-spoke topology is not a security boundary. In environments where multiple workloads, data and applications share the same connectivity domain, the potential blast radius can become significant. We design cloud architectures where identity, connectivity and trust boundaries are defined before architectural complexity hides them.
The Problem
Cloud environments often grow around a rapid provisioning model: resources available in minutes, implicit connectivity and security policies added later.
In many organizations the result is a cloud architecture that works but was never truly designed. Landing zones with a large blast radius, critical workloads sharing network domains with development environments, and identity models defined reactively.
When an audit, incident or architectural change occurs, trust boundaries are rarely where they should be.
Our Approach
We design from trust boundaries outward, not from connectivity inward.
We define which workloads require real isolation, which traffic flows are legitimate between them, and how egress is controlled. Identity, segmentation and connectivity are designed as a single architectural model.
In hybrid environments, coherence between on-premise and cloud architecture is critical: a decision about identity or segmentation on one side has direct consequences on the other.
Capabilities
- Hybrid cloud architecture design
- Secure on-premise / cloud connectivity
- Identity architecture in hybrid environments
- Cloud security posture review
- Cost optimization and governance
- Workload migration and modernization
Typical Scenarios
- Design and review of landing zones with real workload isolation
- Secure connectivity architecture between on-premise and cloud
- Identity architecture for hybrid environments (Azure AD, SAML, OIDC)
- Cloud security posture review and blast radius reduction
- Definition of controlled and deterministic egress strategies
