Zero Trust & CyberShield

A practical entry point to Zero Trust architecture

Is CyberShield a Zero Trust solution?

Yes. CyberShield can be used as part of your Zero Trust architecture and enforces the core principle: "Never trust, always verify." By default, it blocks the execution of all unauthorized applications—even if they originate from within your network or are launched by an internal user—until explicitly allow-listed by IT Admin.

Device Trust

Ensures only approved apps can run, even on trusted devices

User Trust

Blocks execution of unauthorized apps, regardless of user permissions

Application Trust

Builds a secure application allow-list to prevent unknown or malicious software

Visibility & Control

Provides unified insight into application behavior across all endpoints and users

How is this different from traditional antivirus or EDR tools?

Traditional AV/EDR tools detect and respond after a threat has entered the system. CyberShield prevents execution altogether by enforcing deny-by-default—acting as a preventative gate rather than a reactive defense.

Do I need a full Zero Trust framework in place?

No. CyberShield is a great starting point for Zero Trust. You don't need to overhaul your architecture. It gives you a powerful, practical entry into Zero Trust by locking down the most exploited layer: the endpoint.
