Zero Trust Runtime Security

Zero Trust at runtime means deny by default and allow only known, approved behavior. AccuKnox gets you there by learning what each container does, hardening it against industry frameworks, then enforcing a least-permissive baseline in BLOCK mode.

The AccuKnox Runtime Security Journey

True Zero Trust runtime protection is Step 8 of the journey: the destination, not the starting point. The seven steps that come before it (onboard, discover, harden, audit, learn, stabilize, enforce) are what make Step 8 safe to turn on.

Zero Trust is reached through a continuous loop

Step 5 loops back to Step 2. AccuKnox never stops learning, so the golden baseline keeps tracking real application behavior. Once policies are STABLE they switch to BLOCK mode: known activity is allowed, everything else is denied. Unknown malware and unknown signatures are automatically rejected. That is AccuKnox's patented runtime Zero Trust.

Zero Trust Policy Building Blocks

Process based network control

Allow only specific processes to access network primitives, deny/audit everything else.

Process based asset access

Allow only specific processes to access sensitive assets, deny/audit everything else.

Process Whitelisting

Allow only specific processes to execute, deny/audit everything else.

Network Segmentation

Limit network access strictly between whitelisted service endpoints, deny everything else.

Ensure TLS

Ensure that all service endpoints are using the right TLS and certificate configuration.
