Sepio provides Zero Trust Hardware Access by creating a unique Hardware AssetDNA™ fingerprint for every connected device using physical‑layer metadata, enabling continuous, agent‑less discovery and verification of hardware identity. The platform integrates with existing security tools to enforce policy‑driven actions—such as containment, blocking, or isolation—in real time, eliminating blind spots at the physical layer for large enterprises and critical infrastructure.

Problem
Zero Trust programs often assume a device is trustworthy based on reported identifiers or inventory data, leaving a blind spot at the physical layer where unmanaged, dormant, or spoofed hardware can impersonate legitimate assets. This gap enables attackers to bypass network security controls, facilitates insider threats, and undermines the effectiveness of traditional NAC and EDR solutions.
Solution
Sepio delivers Zero Trust Hardware Access by generating a unique Hardware AssetDNA™ for every connected device using physical‑layer metadata, thereby verifying the true identity of hardware rather than its claimed attributes. The platform continuously discovers all assets—including hidden, unmanaged, or shadow devices—and validates each against policy‑defined expectations for role, location, and ownership. Verified identity is fed into automated, policy‑driven controls that can contain, block, isolate, or escalate devices in real time. Sepio integrates with existing security and IT asset‑management stacks, providing trusted data for segmentation, compliance, and incident response, and thereby extends Zero Trust principles to the hardware foundation of the network.
Target Audience
Primary customers are security and IT teams in large enterprises, critical infrastructure operators, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and government agencies that need comprehensive hardware visibility and enforceable trust for IT, OT, and IoT assets.
