The company provides the building blocks for customers to build "cyber bunker" by utilising 0day or Nday exploit defence techniques, trusted or confidential computing with next-generation firmware security and cryptography. From the boot process of each node machine, the root of trust anchored in multiple hardware components, then the chains of trust extending from firmware, operating systems to application. The crucial parts of each component follow compliance or regulation, while are still able to defend against the known and unknown vulnerability and exploit vectors by integrating the modern mitigation and access control.
In addition, the communication between each nodes must guarantee confidentiality and integrity, yet it is not enough from the advanced threat protection's perspective.
