Waterfall Security Solutions vs Xage Security

About Xage Security

Xage Security sells the Xage Fabric Platform, which provides unified Zero Trust security across data centers, cloud, digital assets, cyber-physical systems, OT, LLMs, and AI agents. The Xage Fabric Platform is a cybersecurity mesh that underpins all Xage Security products and solutions. The Xage Fabric Platform can be deployed in as little as one day, and Xage overlays existing infrastructure to enforce granular access control, segmentation, account and credential management, and least-privilege enforcement. The Xage Fabric is overlaid on an existing environment architecture without requiring network changes, rip-and-replace, or installation of endpoint agents or clients.^{[1][4][5][11]}

Xage Fabric nodes can be deployed on premises, in the cloud, and at remote sites to grant access, authentication, and protection. Xage Fabric distributes credential and policy information across nodes, so a site can still authenticate and enforce policy if it goes offline. The Xage Fabric Platform continues to work in denied, degraded, intermittent, or latent (DDIL) environments. Xage offers an option for local deployment in air-gapped networks. Xage Fabric is based on distributed ledger technology and can manage and secure IT, OT, and cloud infrastructure and apps with a single deployment.^[4][5][6]

Xage extends identity to every user, machine, application, workload, and AI agent, creating a unified policy and enforcement layer across the organization. Xage Extended Privileged Access Management (XPAM) provides granular access controls, just-in-time and just-enough access, credential and secrets management, and privileged session monitoring and recording. Xage Extended Privileged Access Management applies Zero Trust policies to privileged access across human, machine, and AI identities. Xage enforces least-privilege access for admins, contractors, and third parties across all environments. Xage Critical Asset Protection uses identity-based microsegmentation and granular policy enforcement to isolate vulnerable, legacy, and high-value systems without requiring disruptive network redesign. Xage offers granular access control, segmentation, and virtual patching for CPS, OT, IoT, and infrastructure assets. Xage provides Zero Trust controls to discover, identify, and govern AI agents, tools, and workflows.^[4]

Xage offers zero trust network access (ZTNA), privileged access management (PAM), and microsegmentation in a single platform. Xage products provide zero trust access control for local and remote users and assets across IT, OT, cyberphysical systems, and the cloud. Xage provides multi-factor authentication and SSO for every application, device, and all data. Xage products require no agents, clients, firewall rule updates, or network changes. Xage enables remote access to any device without a VPN, agent, or client. Xage supports account provisioning for third parties and vendor access, with real-time monitoring and rapid privilege revocation.^[5][6]

The Xage Fabric controls who can move data into, out of, and across an environment, which data they can access or move, and when and where they can move it. Xage Zero Trust Data Exchange addresses the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of data. Xage offers secure data sharing across the enterprise and with partners, aimed at preventing malicious tampering and costly mistakes. Xage makes it possible to securely share data without providing direct access to the sensor that produced it. Xage fingerprints data cryptographically with signed SHA256 hashes from the source to the end destination, across multiple hops and layers.^[5][7]

Xage's Cybersecurity Services team and global partners create TSA implementation, assessment and incident response plans. Xage services include assessment of existing cybersecurity controls readiness to meet SD02D requirements. Xage services include creation of an Implementation Plan ready for TSA approval. Xage offers services to strategize and architect an industrial cybersecurity program based on identity and asset-centric Zero Trust, IEC 62443, C2M2, NIST 800, NERC, and related industry standards. Xage offers services to transform and integrate cybersecurity measures, capabilities, and controls across OT and OT-IT environments.^[8][9]

The integration between Xage and NVIDIA BlueField provides real-time, line-speed enforcement for AI deployments in AI factories and critical infrastructure. Xage and Forescout have a partnership that combines Xage's distributed enforcement of least-privilege access with Forescout's device discovery and contextual visibility. Xage and Darktrace have a partnership that combines Xage's visibility and access control inside operational environments with Darktrace's Anomaly Detection. Xage and Nozomi have a joint solution that combines Nozomi asset discovery with Xage security solutions and introduces a one-click asset inventory import feature.^[10]
