Why choose our zero trust network access solution?

Replace VPNs with ease
Say goodbye to the vulnerabilities and complexities of VPNs. Our ZTNA solution, CyberHive Connect, enables seamless communication between devices and applications while making them invisible on the internet, drastically reducing your attack surface. Leveraging cutting-edge post-quantum cryptography, we ensure your data remains secure against even the most advanced threats.

Fast and frictionless deployment
Unlike other SaaS solutions, our software is truly frictionless. Deploy it in minutes without the need for a complete overhaul of your existing infrastructure. This means no costly disruptions or downtime – just immediate, robust security.

Optimised for the toughest conditions
Our solution excels in challenging environments. Independent tests by Viasat revealed that our software outperforms WireGuard and OpenVPN, offering superior performance with lower overhead. Toshiba demonstrated our software’s resilience by maintaining telemetry streams in networks with over 90% packet loss. Whether you’re in defence, intelligence, or managing critical national infrastructure, CyberHive Connect is built to handle it all.

Proven performance
Our software has been rigorously tested and proven to be more performant under extreme conditions. This ensures that your operations remain secure and uninterrupted, even in the most demanding scenarios.

UK regulations on ZTNA

In the UK, regulations around ZTNA are influenced by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which provides guidance on implementing zero trust principles. The NCSC emphasises the importance of a zero trust approach, particularly in the context of the government’s Minimum Cyber Security Standard (MCSS) and other regulatory frameworks like GDPR.

Key aspects include:

1. Principle of least privilege: Ensuring that users have the minimum levels of access necessary.
2. Continuous verification: Regularly verifying the identity of users and devices.
3. Micro-segmentation: Dividing the network into segments to contain potential breaches.

The UK’s approach aligns closely with global best practices, encouraging organisations to adopt a zero trust architecture (ZTA) to enhance their cyber security posture.

NIST SP 800-207: Overview and application

NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-207 outlines the principles and implementation guidelines for Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). It was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to provide a comprehensive framework for adopting zero trust principles:

1. All data sources and computing services are considered resources.
2. All communication is secured regardless of network location.
3. Access to individual enterprise resources is granted on a per-session basis.
4. Access decisions are dynamic and based on various contextual information.
5. The integrity and security posture of all assets are continuously monitored.
6. Dynamic and strict authentication and authorization before granting access.
7. Continuous gathering of information about the current state of systems to improve security.

The zero trust view of a network

These are the basic assumptions for network connectivity and form the understanding on which a ZTNA should be designed:

1. The entire enterprise private network is not considered an implicit trust zone.
2. Devices on the network may not be owned or configurable by the enterprise.
3. No resource is inherently trusted.
4. Not all enterprise resources are on enterprise-owned infrastructure.
5. Remote enterprise subjects and assets cannot fully trust their local network connection.
6. Assets and workflows moving between enterprise and non-enterprise infrastructure should have a consistent security policy and posture.

CyberHive Connect meets all of these design points.

Applicability and importance

NIST SP 800-207 is applicable to a wide range of organisations, from government agencies to private companies. It is particularly relevant for those looking to modernise their cyber security strategies beyond traditional perimeter defenses.
The guidelines are crucial because they:

• Reduce the risk of data breaches by eliminating implicit trust and continuously validating access requests
• Minimise lateral movement within networks, thus containing potential breaches
• Enhance overall security posture by integrating continuous monitoring and dynamic access control
