Never-Trust vs Zero-Trust
Extending the life of your Operational Technology software
The machinery that an (OT) device connects to is normally built to last on average 20 to 30 years, unfortunately the software which is used to manage, maintain and operate these devices, was built to last on average 5 years, for example (WinXP -Win7 – Win10 or Win11) connecting to a (Server 2000 – 2003 – 2008 or 2012) database.
How do you secure and protect an (OT) device, whilst remaining compliant, when the software it was built on is no longer supported by the software vendor and is stopping you from upgrading to the latest Windows O/S and preventing you from achieving Cyber certification, such as Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus or NIS2?
Droplet NeverTrustTM Containers Are Secure By Design
Droplet address software compatibility
Droplet is a Linux based software which creates a portable secure container that can run any x86 application and its dependencies, inside our unique NeverTrustTM portable container. Securely migrating them to any Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, Linux or cloud platform, without the need to recode or refactor.
Droplet addresses security and cyber accreditation
Droplet NeverTrustTM Containers are secure by design, our NeverTrustTM network overlay blocks all inbound traffic by default, and when installed we create an isolation layer between ourself and the operating system of the device that we’re installed on. This approach enables us to securely migrate any x86 app to any of our supported platforms.
Droplet addresses compliance and risk management
Any app installed inside a NeverTrustTM container runs as if it’s natively installed on the device it was developed for, such as WinXP or Server 2003. Anything inside our container can’t be seen or penetrated (Droplet is pen-tested on a regular basis) and as a result many of our clients have achieved CE – CE+ or NIS2 cyber certification status.
Droplet protects against ransomware, man in the middle and zero-day attacks
Included in our Droplet NeverTrustTM toolset are a full set of security focused tools, which help us ensure that only a Droplet user can gain access to a Droplet device or application, for example: any attempted, unauthorised access is seen as external traffic and is automatically blocked, by default.
Droplets unique approach to application delivery ensures that you never need to worry about future operating system upgrades, and potential software compatibility, security or compliance challenges.
