We return control of trust to its rightful owner

Faction Networks builds Generation 3 Zero Trust — security in which the trust that governs your networks, devices, data, and AI is owned and controlled by you

Every generation of security solved the problem of its era. Faction was founded to answer the question the cloud era left open: not how to keep attackers out, or how to verify identity, but who controls trust.

Faction was founded by veteran technologists in networking, privacy, and cybersecurity — including Dave Rand (Co-Founder & CTO) and Geoff Halstead (Co-Founder & CPO) — and is led today by President & CEO Leroy “Lee” Williams. The team shares one conviction: trust should belong to the organization that depends on it, not to a vendor's cloud.

That principle shapes the architecture. The data plane is owner-keyed, so Faction routes your traffic but cannot read what you protect. There is no perimeter to breach and no central control plane to compromise — security becomes a property of the architecture, not a promise in a policy.
