Keep Your Business Safe. Take Critical Machines and Devices Off the Internet

Faction takes your OT, IoT and ICS machines and devices off the Internet and into your own owner-controlled Faction Network. No agents, minimal IT support, no rip-and-replace.

  • 60-day free pilot
  • Locked-in “forever” pricing
  • No obligation
  • Immediate mitigation of critical vulnerabilities
The problem

One way in is all an attacker needs

Robots, CNC machines, PLCs, cameras and sensors keep your lines running, and many of them are reachable from the Internet. Most can’t run security software, and the routers that connect them may themselves be compromised. One way in is all an attacker needs to shut down your entire production line for ransomware, or worse.

If the routers that connect your critical machines and devices are compromised, all your cybersecurity software is worthless.

The solution

Three options to rapidly deploy protection for critical machines and devices

Faction Pod
Faction purpose builtAvailable now

Faction Pods

Faction hardware running Faction firmware: Purpose Built, Assembled in USA, ORION Assured.

Faction curatedIn development

Faction Outpost

Screened third-party hardware Faction curates, configures, tests and ships. Turn-key, with full local control.

Customer ownedContact us

Faction Canopy

Keep your hardware. Use Canopy to bring compatible hardware you already own under Faction protection.

All three provide the same Faction Network security and owner-controlled cryptographic trust. Hardware provenance and assurance vary by option.
What you can protect

Anything that connects, regardless of age or capability, and especially the OT, IoT and ICS that software-only tools can’t secure.

Why it fits

Purpose built for small to mid-size manufacturers

01

Low Cost

No rip-and-replace, no changes to existing networking infrastructure, nothing installed on your machines and devices.

02

Rapid Deployment

From a few hours to a few days per site, including training. No firewalls to configure for Pods and Outposts.

03

Minimal IT Overhead

No specialized cybersecurity skills required. Set and forget, with support from Faction or your MSP.

04

Your Keys, Your Network

Keys and certificates are created and controlled by you, the Network Owner. Faction never has access to your network or data.

Why you need to act now

Ransomware stops production

Three in four small and mid-size businesses say they could not keep operating after a ransomware attack.

Nation-state threats and AI

Nation-state actors are pre-positioned in US critical infrastructure, routers and smart hardware. AI now helps them exploit decades of unpatched flaws.

FCC Router Mandate

The FCC’s Covered List stops new foreign-produced routers from being authorized, but does nothing about the ones already deployed. Faction contains that risk, with no rip-and-replace.

Cyber insurance

Insurers increasingly require segmentation and controls over OT and IoT for coverage and better premiums. Faction has a cyber insurance partnership that can save you money.

How it works
  1. Plug it inEthernet, behind your existing modem or router.
  2. Adopt itScan a QR code in the Faction app. Your keys, out-of-band.
  3. ConnectYour machines and devices, by Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Nothing installed on them.
  4. ManageEverything in your Faction app, with Faction Groups to segment access.
Your pilot

What the pilot includes, at no cost

60-day free pilot

Hardware, licenses, Canopy enablement, shipping and support included for the full 60 days.

Locked-in “forever” pricing

  1. Scoping reviewWe map your sites and pick the priority machines to protect.
  2. Deploy on priority linesPods, Outposts or Canopy-enabled hardware, about a day per site.
  3. Enroll your teamYour people trained and adopted into your Faction Network.
  4. RetestProving your machines are unreachable from the Internet.
  5. ReadoutsExecutive and technical, with a plan for every site.
Owned and controlled by you
  • Zero Trust for Networking. Unreachable from the public Internet. No credentials to phish or spoof, only owner created and controlled keys.
  • Zero Trust for Data. Encrypted in transit and at rest on endpoints and cloud drives, with owner created and controlled keys.
  • Zero Knowledge Platform. Faction never has access to your keys, so it can’t reach your networks or read your data.
  • Zero Anonymity. Every connection and action is tied to a cryptographically verified device or user, and that record is under your control.
