Workshops
Gain insights and analysis into aspects of your IT environment with Sentinel's free workshops.
If you're curious about what Sentinel can do for your organization, engage with us through a free workshop to find out! We offer more than a dozen different workshops focused on a wide variety of topics including security, cloud, cyber insurance, disaster recovery, healthcare, and collaboration. Each workshop is run by one of Sentinel's highly certified experts, who ask questions you may not have considered and provide thought leadership to help you uncover a path to sustained growth and innovation. A majority of these workshops can be conducted virtually, only take between 60-90 minutes to complete, and include an analysis report detailing the findings.
Zero Trust Security Workshop
Security should always start with zero trust - assume no one is trusted to access your network. Sentinel's Zero Trust Workshop assists customers in identifying their highest areas of risk for workplace, workforce, and workload. We approach your systems from the standpoint of an untrusted user/device and uncover any gaps within your security infrastructure in order to mitigate such risks. Sentinel's strategic advisors then work with you to help harden your systems as quickly as possible.

Advanced Zero Trust Workshop
So your organization has started its Zero Trust journey. Perhaps it even began with Sentinel's original Zero Trust Workshop. Things appear to be going well, and you feel confident in the progress that has been made to enhance the protection of your users and organization as a whole. Fortis by Sentinel's Advanced Zero Trust Workshop essentially functions as a check-in and update, providing you with a current threat readiness score, risk classifications, readiness matrix, and next steps. You'll gain a better understanding of the areas you're managing well, along with which ones require extra attention to properly align them with Zero Trust principles.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework Workshop
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) framework provides a comprehensive approach to protecting critical portions of your infrastructure using established standards and guidelines. It emphasizes a prioritized, flexible, repeatable, and cost-effective way for organizations to manage their risk. Sentinel's NIST Workshop analyzes your organization's alignment with these cybersecurity standards as they relate to your people, processes, and technology. If any gaps or potentially vulnerable areas are discovered, the Sentinel team can help guide you back into alignment.
