T4 – Protect

Workload Attack Surface Advanced Protection

Project Description

TrustFour’s patented Workload Attack Surface Control Plane technology protects organizations against evolving threats, including lateral movement, NHI credential misuse, and post-quantum cryptographic vulnerabilities.

Using TrustFour’s Protect capability organizations can ensure the communications channels used between Workloads are configured to enforce mTLS thereby reducing the overall Workload attack surface and ensuring NHI credentials are restricted to only authorized counter-parties. TrustFour’s Protect also provides centralized cryptographic agility to ensure your organization’s cryptographic standards are implemented including post quantum support when that becomes available.

Ground Breaking

TrustFour is pioneering Workload Attack Surface Management to ensure cloud and data center workloads are protected against inappropriate access and lateral movement risks to provide assurance that when workloads interact, they do so only to authorized counter parties combined with instant notable alerts for unauthorized access attempts.

Application, Security Architects and CISOs all agree that cloud and data center workloads should be mutually authenticated and authorized but sadly, this simple control is not common practice because it’s just too difficult to implement and sustain.   

At TrustFour we asked ourselves what we can do to make protecting workloads easy and came up with the pioneering and yet simple concept of optimally configuring and leveraging the most important security protocol and extensively used: Transport Layer Security (TLS) with the addition of a rich authorization control.  T4-Protect enables organizations to detect and then optimally configure TLS to address inappropriate access and lateral movement risks.
