Architecture
Simplify security without compromising control
Overview
Threatmatic™ bridges the gap between security and usability. Our intuitive UI and modular Zero Trust architecture delivers lightning-fast, real-time protection against ransomware, malware, phishing, DNS poisoning, and more. Defend your most critical assets with unparalleled ease, security and performance
Uninterruptible Design
Threatmatic has been engineered from the ground up to eliminate downtime as a concept. The control plane supports both agent and agent-less deployment models, giving organizations the flexibility to protect managed and unmanaged endpoints without compromise.
At its core, the platform runs on modern internet circuits built on gRPC and HTTP/2 — protocols designed for low-latency, multiplexed communication at scale. Every component is asynchronous by design, meaning there is no single point of failure anywhere in the stack. The signalling mechanism between Threatmatic policy engines and endpoints is ultra lightweight, underpinned by global multicast and multi-region availability, ensuring policy enforcement remains active regardless of regional outages or network disruptions.
The result is a platform that can be fully deployed in minutes and enforces policy actions in milliseconds — less than 50ms in most cases.
Island Identity Awareness
Most security platforms depend on Identity and Access Management systems being fully operational before they can enforce policy. Threatmatic is fundamentally different — it is active and enforcing before IAM interfaces are even required, ensuring there is no window of exposure during startup, provisioning, or failover.
From the moment of deployment, Threatmatic detects, analyzes, and maps both user and application identities across the environment. This continuous identity mapping forms the foundation of the zero trust architecture: every network flow is verified on both the user axis and the application axis before traffic is permitted. Identity is not assumed — it is continuously established.
For the most secure environments, Threatmatic delivers an "observe, verify and allow" model — where traffic is first observed and its identity context fully resolved before any flow is granted. Nothing moves without verification.
Instant Zero Trust Enforcement
Block traffic in real-time with granular, rule-based policies applied to users, groups, devices, and endpoints. Audit or block applications and executables directly on endpoints. "Tags" and "Annotations" allow you to compose security policies with surgical precision for a highly dynamic, maximum security posture.
Smarter Bandwidth Management
Prevent network bottlenecks by managing bandwidth allocation for users, workloads, and software updates. Fine-tune bandwidth at a granular level with bi-directional performance tuning.
Quantum Safe Microsegmentation
Quickly isolate malware and control host-to-host traffic to enhance performance and security. Achieve secure, dynamic cloud integration with Cloudiffusion™.
