AccuKnox Managed OEM/MSSP - This model is tailored for managed deployments where AccuKnox oversees upgrades and maintenance while keeping the OEM/MSSP informed. This ensures that our partners, such as Xcitium, can rely on us for smooth operations and continuous improvements without losing control over the deployment.

Full On-prem/Air-Gapped- For environments requiring maximum security and isolation, we offer full on-premises or air-gapped deployments. This ensures that all data and operations remain within the customer's premises, providing the highest level of control and security, suitable for sensitive and regulated industries.
