Zero Trust, Every Session

No user or system is trusted by default. Every session is identity-authenticated via ML-DSA and policy-enforced before a single byte is forwarded.

⚛️

Post-Quantum by Default

ML-KEM and ML-DSA are NIST-standardized quantum-resistant algorithms. Your CUI is protected against both current and future quantum-enabled adversaries.

🏭

No Plant Network Exposure

The ECR-Connector enforces strict network isolation — no inbound cloud-to-LAN routing unless explicitly authorized by policy. Your OT environment stays sealed.

CMMC-Aligned Out of the Box

Designed to satisfy SC.L2-3.13.8, SC.L2-3.13.11, and IA.L2-3.5.2 — pairs seamlessly with StormCloud Gov for a complete CMMC Level 2/3 solution.
