Why Droplet NeverTrust™ is Better Than Standard Zero-Trust

NeverTrust™ vs Zero Trust

When a Windows operating system (O/S) reaches its end of life, such as Win7 and Server 2012, many IT decision makers are faced with the task of making significant security and financial related decisions around upgrading.

From Oct 2025, Win10 will be the next (O/S) which has been added to the long list of unsupported (O/S). Unfortunately, not all software is compatible with newer (O/S) which in-turn prevents many organisations from upgrading.

Choosing to remain on an unsupported software could not only have a financial consequence in the shape of extended support costs, but could also prevent achieving cyber accreditation, such as cyber essentials or cyber essentials plus.

How Does Droplet Overcome These Challenges

  1. Droplet is a container based software which can run any x86 app, inside our portable NeverTrust™ Container.
  2. When installed we create a true isolation layer between us and the operating system of the device that we’re installed on.
  3. Using our built-in firewall, we block all inbound traffic, by default. And when installed on both client and and server we encrypt all traffic between both.
  4. Our NeverTrust™ approach enables us to securely migrate any x86 app, irrespective of age or whether supported to any supported platform.
  5. Any applications installed inside Droplet are completely isolated away from both the host operating system and the network.
  6. As a result, applications installed inside Droplet, can’t be seen or attacked, preventing any man in the middle, ransomware or zero-day attacks.

Many of our existing clients have used our technology to help them address the challenges associated with software compatibility, extended Windows support and simplifying Windows upgrades and achieving cyber accreditaion.
