NEW RELEASE Announcing autonomous response across the full Altide suite — detect, decide, defend.
PAM

Altide - PAM

Altide - PAM establishes an identity-aware Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) that replaces outdated, brittle corporate VPNs. By continuously evaluating device posture, session behavior, and geographic risk, Altide - PAM grants granular, ephemeral access to internal applications and databases with zero implicit trust and zero network exposure.

CAPABILITY SPECIFICATIONS

Engineered Features

Continuous Posture Evaluation

Verifies OS security version, endpoint encryption, active EDR agents, and firewall status before and during application access sessions.

Ephemeral WireGuard Micro-Tunnels

Establishes encrypted point-to-point tunnels on-demand between verified clients and protected workloads, hiding internal subnets from port scans.

Adaptive Risk-Based Step-Up MFA

Automatically challenges users with FIDO2/WebAuthn biometrics upon detecting abnormal geographic locations or high-risk administrative commands.

Application-Level Reverse Proxy

Provides fine-grained access control down to individual HTTP routes, database instances, and SSH bastion targets without exposing network CIDRs.

MEASURED IMPACT

Architectural Benefits

Elimination of Lateral Movement

Attackers compromising a single remote workstation cannot scan or pivot across non-authorized internal network segments.

90% Network Egress Reduction

Direct point-to-point routing terminates sessions at the closest edge point-of-presence, avoiding expensive backhauling through central datacenters.

Sub-Millisecond Tunnel Setup

Lightweight cryptographic key exchange provides instant user connectivity without VPN reconnection delays or client freezes.

Software-Defined Perimeter Architecture

Traditional network perimeters rely on implicit trust once a user authenticates over a VPN, exposing broad internal subnets to lateral movement and ransomware proliferation. Altide - PAM implements the principle of absolute least-privilege: verify explicitly, grant access contextually, and assume breach.

Architectural Highlights

  1. Client Connector: Runs as a native background service or lightweight mobile extension, intercepting DNS requests to resolve internal domain names to secure loopback interfaces.
  2. Edge Gateway Hubs: Globally distributed zero-knowledge gateways authenticate incoming requests against enterprise IdPs (Okta, Entra ID, Ping) before proxying TCP/UDP streams to protected workloads.
  3. Continuous Cryptographic Re-Verification: Session tokens expire automatically every 15 minutes, refreshing in the background via biometric attestation or hardware security modules (TPM 2.0 / Apple Secure Enclave).
