Add owner-controlled Zero Trust without rip-and-replace
Secure the networks, routers and other infrastructure you already have — adopting Generation 3 Zero Trust at the pace and budget that fits your organization and is prioritized to your most critical needs
The hardware already inside your network may be the threat. The FCC has determined that the foreign-made routers common in homes and businesses pose an unacceptable national-security risk, and national cyber leaders have repeatedly warned that state-sponsored actors like Volt Typhoon have pre-positioned widely inside of compromised routers, smart hardware and infrastructure.
Generation 3 is a different architecture — but adopting it doesn't mean tearing out what you have. ‘Factionizing’ your infrastructure means layering owner-controlled trust over existing networks, devices, and workloads, at the pace you choose — so you can <b>rapidly mitigate risk to your most critical assets without the cost and disruption of ripping and replacing.</b>
Faction is an overlay — it sits on top of what you run today. Secure existing hardware in place, and replace only what genuinely can't be brought up to standard, adopting Zero Trust incrementally with no rip-and-replace.
No Implicit Trust
Every user and device is cryptographically verified before any access. No shared passwords, and no anonymous connections possible.
Inaccessible to Internet
Your network can't be discovered, scanned, or probed from the internet. There is no visible gateway or attack surface to target.
Zero-Knowledge infrastructure
Faction routes your encrypted traffic but holds no keys and cannot read your data — even if compelled to.
Owner-controlled keys
Every key is generated on your own device and never leaves it. There is no master key for an attacker to steal.
Out-of-band authentication
No usernames or passwords to phish. Members join through a direct, personal, out-of-band process bound to their device.
Zero Trust for Hardware
With independent inspection and cyber assurance by ORION and supply-chain certification, Pods and Portals mitigate the threats from foreign routers and smart hardware — with no need to rip & replace.
Secures OT & IoT Mixed Fleets
Hardware-native Pods bring smart, dumb, and legacy devices into the same circuit as laptops, servers, and cloud — no agent required.
Easy, Unlimited Segmentation
Combine users, devices, and resources in any way in private groups, each with private keys — micro-segmentation ready.
Assessment & planning
Map your current environment and run a cyber evaluation of existing router and smart-hardware vulnerabilities.
Controlled pilot
Validate functionality in a test system before touching production.
Critical-asset protection
Mitigate where needed with Pods and Portals; upgrade existing routers where possible with the agentless security of embedded Faction Network Nodes.
Organization-wide expansion
Roll out across all critical systems on your timeline.
Continuous monitoring
Faction and its partners monitor and verify the cyber integrity of your network and hardware on an ongoing basis.
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.
