Network Level

Network Security & Access Control

“Your network is where the magic happens and where the biggest risks live.”

Before any user is allowed inside your environment, LKMethod verifies identity, device posture, location, permissions, and real-time behavior. Every session is then routed through a Zero-Trust Exchange Cloud, where the connection is fully proxied, inspected for threats, containerized to isolate the browser session, and continuously validated for trust and compliance.

This approach allows users to work without ever touching the network directly. You secure the entire session, eliminate lateral movement, and enforce true Zero Trust across every user, device, and application.

Replacing the Cumbersome VPN with Zero Trust Network Access

 

The LKMethod Zero Trust Modernized Architecture ensures your users a fast, compliant, and secure connection from any location.  Because users are always connected through the cloud network security service, access to cloud applications and resources can be granted based on who the user is, including the user’s role within an organization.

  • Improves security by verifying access first before trusting user access.

  • Reduces cyber-risk and improves the enterprise’s security posture.

  • Eliminates east-west traffic movement and ensures that all resources are completely invisible and inaccessible by attackers.

  • Provides real-time visibility to all users, assets and resources.

  • Dynamic risk scoring is being generated on each of the users, assets and resources.

  • Automatically gives users access to authorized and approved resources, regardless of location.

Secure Internet Access On Any Device, From Any Location, In Any Cloud

Now you can control all applications that are out-of-band and all shadow applications a user might access. 

  • Global cloud security footprint ensures close gateway capacity for faster cloud connections.

  • Achieve lower latency, faster speeds, and increased user productivity.

  • HIPAA and PCI achieved through configurable cloud zones and containerization.

  • Results in a sustainable path for a cloud-first future.

  • Reduces Unnecessary load on MPLS and SD-WAN branch office connections.

  • Feature migration in network security appliances to a SAAS model delivered in the cloud.

Conditional Access & Vendor Access – Secure, Controlled, and Audit-Ready

Modern organizations no longer grant access based on network location alone. In regulated and security-sensitive environments, access decisions must be dynamic, contextual, and continuously validated. Conditional access and vendor access controls are now foundational to compliance, cyber-insurance eligibility, and zero-trust security architecture.


Conditional Access

Context-Aware Access Decisions

Conditional access ensures users only gain access when defined security conditions are met — and are automatically restricted when risk changes.

Key Controls:
• Identity verification + MFA
• Device health & management checks
• Location & network risk evaluation
• Time-based access policies
• Risk-adaptive authentication
• App sensitivity–based controls

Result: Access is granted by real-time risk and policy — not just login success.


Vendor & Third-Party Access

External Access Without Internal Exposure

Vendors, contractors, and partners should never receive broad network access. Modern vendor access is app-level, isolated, and fully traceable.

Key Controls:
• Application-only access scope
• Least-privilege permissions
• Time-limited access windows
• Mandatory MFA enforcement
• Session isolation
• Activity logging & monitoring

Result: Third parties get what they need — and nothing more.


Compliance & Audit Outcomes

Built for Regulated Environments

Conditional and vendor access controls support compliance and cyber-insurance requirements through least-privilege access, strong verification, and auditable sessions.

Business Outcomes:
• Stronger audit evidence
• Reduced third-party risk
• Zero-trust alignment
• Policy-driven enforcement
• Session traceability
• Control validation reporting

Result: Secure access that stands up to audits and underwriting reviews.
