Self Healing Infrastructure
THE RDE BRAND DIFFERENTIATOR
Resiliency Through Invisible Protection — 60-Second Baseline Checks
RDE has performed audits over the years that enumerate federal agency insecure server configurations as a persistent, high-severity finding for years running. The root cause is almost always the same: configurations that were secure at deployment drifted over time, and no one caught it until audit season — or worse, until a breach. Your infrastructure should be self-correcting, not self-reporting. RDE establishes your hardened baseline, instruments 60-second configuration drift checks across every system in scope, and deploys automated rollback logic that restores compliance before a human analyst is even paged. The window between deviation and detection — the window OIG auditors keep finding — closes permanently. RDE's Continuous Authorization practice replaces the snapshot with a live feed. Your ATO boundary stays synchronized with your actual environment — always current, always defensible, always audit-ready.

IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH
4-Phase Deployment to Self-Healing Posture
Baseline Hardening and STIG Matrix
Step 01
Establish your hardened configuration baseline against DISA STIGs and CIS benchmarks. Document every required control state across all systems in scope — servers, network devices, endpoints, and cloud workloads.
Drift Detection Instrumentation
Step 02
Drift Detection Instrumentation
Deploy 60-second automated scanning across your baseline. Every system checks itself against its required configuration state continuously — deviations surface as findings in real time, not at the next scheduled scan.
Automated Remediation Engine
Step 03
Automated Remediation Engine ·Configure automated rollback playbooks for each class of drift. When a deviation is detected, the system restores the compliant state and logs the event — no ticket, no delay, no human required for common drift patterns.
Zero Trust Policy Enforcement
Step 04
Layer Zero Trust micro-segmentation and least-privilege access policy on top of the hardened baseline. The network enforces identity-based access rules continuously — unauthorized lateral movement fails at the policy layer before it becomes an incident.
Cyber Services
Configuration Drift Remediation
Continuous 60-second scanning against DISA STIG and CIS hardened baselines. Automated rollback restores the compliant state without human intervention — closing the OIG finding window permanentl
Zero Trust Architecture Design
micro-segmentation, identity-based access control, and least-privilege network policy for VA and DoD environments — aligned to CISA's five Zero Trust pillars.
SD-WAN Edge
Secure SD-WAN design and automated threat prevention using Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN — policy-enforced security on every edge traffic path.
Infrastructure-as-Code Security
Secure Terraform and Ansible templates with embedded compliance checks — every deployment is born compliant, not hardened after the fac
Network Telemetry & SIEM Integration
Full-spectrum telemetry pipeline feeding your SIEM with enriched, normalized events — no blind spots in your detection posture across the environment.

HPE ProLiant security baseline deployment, iLO hardening, and full lifecycle management — delivered by an authorized HPE VAR with federal program experience.
What Sets Us Apart on AI Security
Author of Enterprise AI Risk Methodology RDE's principal authored an enterprise-scale AI Risk Assessment methodology at Kwaan Bear IT Solutions — directly applicable to the federal AI governance requirements agencies are now being held to under EO 14110 and its successors.
Practitioner, Not Theorist. A Cisco AI Business credentialed principal brings hands-on experience in real adversary tradecraft from CENTCOM and EUCOM environments, not vendor slide decks about hypothetical attacks.
Stop chasing drift. Start preventing it. Request an infrastructure resilience assessment — we'll map your current configuration management posture against DISA STIGs and identify your highest-risk drift vectors before the next OIG audit cycle.
