Never Trust, Always Verify

In a platform hosting 2.4M+ articles, 180K contributors, and real-time AI inference pipelines, perimeter-based security is obsolete. Aevum's Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) eliminates implicit trust, enforcing strict identity verification, least-privilege access, and continuous behavioral monitoring across all network layers.

🔑

Explicit Verification

Every access request is fully authenticated and authorized based on all available data points, including identity, location, device health, and service integrity.

🔒

Least Privilege Access

Users and services receive only the minimum access required to perform their function, dynamically adjusted via Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC).

Assume Breach

Architecture is designed to minimize blast radius. Micro-segmentation, encrypted data-in-transit, and automated threat containment limit lateral movement.

Client Authentication & Device Posture

MFA, certificate pinning, and hardware-backed attestation validate the source before any network handshake.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Zero Trust protect contributor data?

Contributor identities are bound to device posture and behavioral baselines. Any anomalous access pattern triggers step-up authentication or session revocation. All draft submissions are encrypted end-to-end and stored in isolated tenant volumes.

What happens during a potential breach or compromise?

Micro-segmentation contains lateral movement. Our SOAR pipelines automatically isolate affected nodes, revoke compromised tokens, and trigger forensic snapshots. Recovery time is minimized through immutable infrastructure and automated rollbacks.

How is the AI knowledge pipeline secured?

Model inference endpoints require mTLS and workload identity. Prompt injection filters, output sandboxing, and vector database encryption prevent data leakage. All training data undergoes automated PII redaction and compliance scanning.

Can enterprise customers integrate with our ZTA?

Yes. We support SCIM provisioning, SAML 2.0, OIDC, and custom policy webhooks. Enterprise tenants can enforce their own ABAC rules while inheriting our baseline zero-trust controls.
