Why Device Trust Matters
The Problem: Blind Trust in Devices
Section titled “The Problem: Blind Trust in Devices”Modern systems trust devices by default. Once authenticated, devices are rarely re-evaluated. This assumption-based model fails because:
- Devices change after authentication
- Devices can be compromised post-connection
- Configuration drift is invisible to authentication systems
- Data integrity depends on device trustworthiness
The Impact
Section titled “The Impact”Untrusted devices lead to:
- Compromised data integrity
- Undetected breaches
- Compliance failures
- Insurance exclusions
- Operational disruptions
The KYD® Solution
Section titled “The KYD® Solution”KYD® provides continuous trust evaluation, ensuring devices are verified throughout their lifecycle, not just at first connection.
