Why Zero Trust has to leave the cloud: owner-controlled trust in practice
Generation 1 built walls; Generation 2 rented identity from the cloud. Field notes on what changes operationally when the encryption keys and the trust fabric belong to you instead of a vendor — and why owner-controlled trust removes the broker attackers most want to stand behind.
Securing the devices that can't defend themselves: an OT & IoT primer
Cameras, controllers, sensors, and legacy equipment now outnumber the computers on most networks — and none of them can run a security agent. A practical look at how hardware Pods and Portals bring the devices that can't defend themselves inside a Zero Trust perimeter, with no agents and no firmware changes.
What "Made in USA" means for network hardware — and why we committed to it
From the FCC covered list to supply-chain attestation: why Faction builds its Pods and Portals in the USA, and what verifiable hardware provenance actually buys you in a nation-state threat environment — owner-controlled trust extended all the way down to the silicon.
Own your trust. Keep your peace of mind.
The new threat environment calls for a new Zero Trust model. We'd welcome the chance to show you how Faction puts you in control and secures your critical systems and assets rapidly with low cost and IT overhead.
