Never-Trust vs Zero-Trust
Protecting Defence Systems without Compromising Security
Many defence organisations are reliant on aging legacy systems for vital operations, such as command-and-control, and intelligence platforms. Droplet containers deliver a secure, compliant, and cost-efficient approach to modernising these legacy systems, while ensuring operational resilience, seamless interoperability, and compliance with the latest demanding cyber security defence standards.
What makes Droplet unique, is the way that in which we deliver applications, whether they’re legacy or modern. For example, by default, any application (legacy or modern) that’s delivered via a Droplet NeverTrustTM container, meets the latest levels of cyber accreditation, up to CE+, NIS2 and DORA. (see below explanation diagram).
Why Droplet for Defence Organisations
- NeverTrust™ Security Framework: Implements a “default-NeverTrust™” posture, surpassing traditional Zero Trust models to ensure legacy applications remain isolated and protected from potential cyber threats.
- Protection for Sensitive Data and Systems: Droplet NeverTrust™ prevents unauthorised access to classified and mission-critical systems by isolating all applications inside a secure NeverTrust™ container.
- Aligned with Defence Cyber Standards: Supports compliance with defence-specific cybersecurity frameworks such as NCSC Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and NIST SP 800-53.
- Securing Classified Systems: Legacy defence applications can operate securely within isolated containers, ensuring that sensitive data and systems remain protected from unauthorised access and cyber threats.
- Future-Proofing Defence IT: By containerising legacy systems, Droplet ensures defence organisations can adopt emerging technologies, while maintaining the functionality of critical legacy infrastructure.
- Flexibility for Deployed Operations: Applications can run on ruggedised devices and edge environments in the field, ensuring operational reliability in remote or hostile environments.
