Cryptographic Agility, TrustFour: Workload and Non-Human Identity Attack Surface Security

January 23, 2025

Understanding the 3-Layers of Non-Human Identity (NHI) Security in TrustFour’s Posture and Attack Surface Management Framework

In today’s interconnected digital ecosystems, securing Non-Human Identities (NHIs) has become a critical focus. NHIs—representing machines, applications, containers, and microservices—outnumber human identities exponentially and serve as essential components in modern IT infrastructures. However, their growing volume and complexity have created a vast, dynamic attack surface.

TrustFour’s OWASP 2025 NHI Top Ten Coverage

T4 redefines ASM by ensuring only authorized workloads can utilize NHIs through robust isolation powered by mTLS and a “ring-fenced” authorization map. With T4, unauthorized workloads are stopped in their tracks, slashing the attack surface and mitigating risks before they become breaches. Focusing on ASM first delivers immediate,...

Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) Readiness with TrustFour

Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) emphasizes non-traditional tactics such as cyber warfare, information manipulation, and asymmetric strategies. In this context, TrustFour’s expertise in securing workload interactions, managing Transport Layer Security (TLS) configurations, protecting Non-Human Identities (NHIs), and leveraging advanced telemetry plays a pivotal role in supporting 5GW operations.

Shift Up and Shift Left Workload Attack Surface Protection

In today’s security landscape, the concept of a hardened perimeter is increasingly insufficient. With the rise of hybrid and multi-cloud environments, lateral movement attacks, where attackers move through internal systems once a breach has occurred, have emerged as a significant threat.

Why ignoring Cryptographic Agility is dangerous.

Cryptography forms the basis of trust, authorization, authentication, data integrity and privacy. Modern organizations use cryptography across their entire operations ranging from the products sold to customers to internal functions such as payroll. Given the incredible reliance on cryptographic underpinnings you would expect tight control of it, but sadly this...

Cryptographic Agility: Why is it important?

Most businesses look at the dire warnings that internet security will soon be broken due to quantum computing with a healthy bit of skepticism. To most businesses the threat appears to be years away and will likely be solved during the normal course of system update cycles. Is this view...
