ZERO TRUST

Infinite Devices: “Zero Trust for secure data analysis with the SmartCountr!”

Zero Trust” is a designation for the IT security principle “Trust nobody, verify everyone”. Each individual access requires authentication. Each device must have a unique SSL certificate and users must authenticate themselves using a sophisticated token system. Our user interface also only accepts connections from trusted Certificate Authorities. The aim of the model is to minimize the risk for company networks and applications and to rule out internal threats as well as external threats. Conventional security concepts only classified external data traffic as dangerous and trusted all internal users and services. It is therefore important to be protected against targeted attacks by malware and ransomeware. Infinimesh as an IoT platform is fully built as a zero trust platform, each action requires a clear authentication of the user. This is made possible by so-called tokens (Bearer or OAuth).

infinimesh and the smart facility management system SmartCountr offer endless potential for many possible applications in all industries so that you have absolute control over your data: In this way, every company, whether small or large, can optimize processes and create new ones get insights. infinimesh offers a zero-trust token system that gives the creator of the data absolute control over who they want to share data with. Individual plug-ins and analysis tools can be easily integrated thanks to our data scientists and cloud developers.

How secure are clouds? Despite an evolution in security, workload security remains a shared responsibility between the provider and the organization using the cloud. In the Zero Trust model, security policies are based on the identity of the communicating workloads. This way security stays as close as possible to the assets being protected and is not affected by network constructs such as IP addresses, ports and protocols.

Because the Zero Trust model focuses on the workload, security teams can more easily identify and stop malicious data-driven activity. Any modified application is automatically classified as “untrusted” until it can be re-examined through a set of policies and controls. Even if this has been reviewed and approved, communication is limited to a need-to-know basis. In other words, secure access is locked down only for the users, hosts, or services that need it. Infinimesh as an IoT platform only accepts unique device identifiers (SSL Trust of Chain). These identifiers must always be unique. Devices using an already used SSL identifier will be blocked and the administrator will be informed of this violation. Zero trust is already established here as well. Zero trust models assume that all applications and services are untrusted and blocked from communication until they can be positively verified based on their identity attributes. In this framework, only authenticated and authorized users have access to data. At the same time, these applications and users are protected from advanced Internet threats.
