TrustGuard
Definition
TrustGuard is the endpoint trust enforcement agent responsible for validating identity, signing outbound traffic, enforcing VTZ boundaries, and preventing compromised endpoints from propagating attacks.
Why It Matters
Endpoints are the origin of 90% of breaches. TrustGuard ensures compromised devices cannot initiate trusted sessions or transmit unauthorized packets.
How It Works
It enforces DTL signing, local segmentation, runtime behavior checks, trust scoring, and outbound enforcement. It ensures that all device traffic is cryptographically provable.
