Airwall

The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is an open IETF standard that forms the security architecture foundation. This protocol natively encrypts, microsegments, and securely connects devices and services by building a secure network layer before connection establishment. The system ensures traffic relies solely on a cryptographic ID for authorization, resolving fundamental security flaws inherent in traditional networking.

The conductor functions as the central component, providing a single pane of glass management console for the entire security orchestration system. This console simplifies control over communications, enabling simple, scalable, and extensible policy management between things and is the mechanism for deploying identity driven policies.

Airwall Gateway is a solution component deployed with the express purpose to make every critical asset invisible to unauthorized external systems. This component creates a private overlay network using encrypted tunnels, relying entirely on trusted cryptographic identities to securely manage all traffic flow.

This feature is installed directly on individual endpoints and devices to make perimeters invisible. It securely connects anything, anywhere over any network, forming a vital part of the private overlay network on existing infrastructure. This Agent enforces identity-based policies, requiring multi-factor authentication and reliance on a cryptographic ID for device access authorization.

Airwall software allows the duplication of secure network traffic for observation and analysis. The replicated traffic is then securely directed to third party threat detection solutions for external correlation and analysis. This feature provides important traffic visibility and assists with threat detection by integrating policy enforcement with communication data.
