A New Era of Security Challenges.
A New Generation of Network Protection.

The rapid growth of hybrid-cloud systems has led to a new era of enterprise network security challenges as organizations struggle to secure disparate resources outside the traditional network perimeter. More than ever, organizations need a solution that is as thorough and relentless as the attacks they are guarding against. 

Launched in 2018, Xiid sets a new standard of excellence for enterprise network security with its proprietary Zero Knowledge Networking (ZKN) architecture. This groundbreaking solution protects enterprise resources and users by providing the most advanced identity and data access management for on-premises, hybrid- and multi-cloud domains. It delivers an extremely secure yet easy to manage service that removes the risks and complications associated with edge-device and cloud resource access.

A true industry game-changer, ZKN takes network security to an entirely new level, consolidating and fortifying disparate security and access functions and keeping more of your data – and money — yours.
