You can't secure it all.

Experienced cybersecurity professionals know it is not possible to secure everything. And even if you could, would you want to? Just how expensive would that be? What we really want to do is reduce our exposure to risk, then mitigate the remaining risk to the greatest extent possible.

Operation of computing infrastructure involves risk.

We depend on our teams to keep systems up to date. We depend on our vendors to provide patches and updates to close discovered holes. We depend on service providers to configure and maintain our networks and servers in alignment with our needs. But no matter the organization, there are never enough hours in the day to stay on top of it all.

The challenge is we are taking on unnecessary risk.

We don’t need full control of our entire computing infrastructure. What we need is assurance the computing infrastructure will do what we want it to do and not do what we don’t want it to do.

What if you could obtain assurance your computing infrastructure would do what you need without control of the whole environment?
This is what ankrd can do for you.

We are not concerned with the security posture of your network or servers. What we care about is having a Trusted Execution Environment in the systems you use. With this one piece of increasingly common technology, we can provide assurance your system is doing exactly what you need - nothing more and nothing less.

Stop trying to secure everything. Just secure your functionality.

Oh, and have you heard how we use the same technology to help you stop spreading secrets?
