Platform Architecture — Layer 3
Zero-Trust Fabric
Implicit trust is implicit risk. The Novastraxis Zero-Trust Fabric verifies every identity, encrypts every connection, and enforces least-privilege access at every layer of your infrastructure — from the network to the application to the data plane.
Six Pillars of Zero Trust
Each pillar operates independently but integrates deeply with the others to create a defense-in-depth posture that eliminates single points of failure.
Identity-First Architecture
Every request begins with identity verification. Users, services, and devices are authenticated through a unified identity plane before any resource access is granted. No network location confers trust.
- SAML 2.0, OIDC, and SCIM integration with all major identity providers
- Hardware-bound device certificates with TPM attestation
- Continuous session validation with adaptive step-up authentication
- Service-to-service identity via SPIFFE/SPIRE workload identities
Microsegmentation
Traditional flat networks allow lateral movement after initial compromise. Our microsegmentation engine creates fine-grained security boundaries around every workload, enforced at both Layer 3 and Layer 7.
- Policy-driven segment creation with automatic workload discovery
- Layer 7 application-aware rules that understand HTTP, gRPC, and SQL protocols
- Real-time traffic visualization across all segments
- Automatic policy recommendation engine based on observed traffic patterns
Encryption Everywhere
Mutual TLS is non-negotiable. Every connection between every service is encrypted with automatically rotated certificates. No exceptions. No opt-outs. No cleartext paths.
- Mutual TLS with automatic 90-day certificate rotation
- WireGuard-based mesh VPN with 256-bit ChaCha20-Poly1305
- AES-256-GCM encryption at rest with customer-managed keys
- Post-quantum cryptographic primitives for forward secrecy
Continuous Verification
Authentication happens once. Verification happens continuously. Our policy engine re-evaluates access decisions in real-time based on context signals including device posture, location, and behavioral analytics.
- Real-time risk scoring across 47 context signals
- Behavioral analytics detect anomalous access patterns within 30 seconds
- Automated session termination when risk thresholds are exceeded
- Full audit trail with cryptographic integrity verification
Privileged Access Management
Administrative access is the highest-risk vector in any enterprise. Our PAM layer enforces just-in-time access, session recording, and multi-party approval for all privileged operations.
- Just-in-time privilege elevation with automatic expiration
- Full session recording with keystroke-level audit trails
- Multi-party approval workflows for sensitive operations
- Break-glass procedures with mandatory post-incident review
Threat-Aware Policy Engine
Security policies adapt in real-time based on the current threat landscape. When our Threat Analytics Engine detects active campaigns, the Zero-Trust Fabric automatically tightens access controls across affected segments.
- Bi-directional integration with the Threat Analytics Engine
- Automatic policy tightening during active incident response
- MITRE ATT&CK-mapped defensive postures
- Threat intelligence feed integration from 14 commercial and open sources
