Faction Platform Datasheet

Faction Networks delivers Generation 3 Zero Trust — an owner-controlled network in which the trust governing your networks, devices, data, and AI belongs to you, not a vendor. This datasheet summarizes the platform’s core capabilities, how it deploys, what you control, and how the hardware is assured.

• Owner-controlled Zero Trust network with encryption keys held by the customer
• Control plane off the public internet — the network is invisible to attackers
• Protection for OT and IoT devices that cannot run security agents, via Pods and Portals
• Every device cryptographically verified before access — no shared passwords, no anonymous connections
• Identity-bound governance and a policy engine that keep AI agents accountable to a human sponsor
• Human-in-the-Loop step-up to a verified, present human for privileged or irreversible actions

• Deploys alongside existing infrastructure — no rip-and-replace
• Pods and Portals extend the network to a physical location over Wi-Fi and Ethernet
• App-based adoption — Click, Scan, Adopt — from the phone you already carry, with no IT ticket
• Out-of-band authentication and key exchange, with nothing exposed to the internet
• Any device protected simply by connecting it behind a Pod, with no software installed on the device
• Enterprise-grade Zero Trust at a fraction of the cost and complexity of SDN or ZTNA — without a dedicated IT team

• The owner network key, created and held on your own devices — no one else, including Faction, holds it
• The trust relationships governing your networks, devices, data, and AI
• Which devices join the network and what is reachable from inside it
• Independence from any external certificate authority, VPN, or identity provider

• US-made, Cyber-Assured Pods and Portals — made and made-safe in the USA
• Forensically inspected at the chip level and cyber-assured by ORION
• Certified supply chain with continuous integrity monitoring after deployment
• One hundred percent USA-made through the OA Technologies partnership — not gear from the FCC Covered List
