Every Zero Trust solution extends your perimeter to the edge. NullEdge makes the edge irrelevant.
For 15 years, security architecture has assumed the perimeter is gone, building increasingly complex systems to push visibility and control out to every device. NullEdge reverses that assumption. By making the device a verified, stateless, zero-value target, all your IAM, SSO, and security controls stay inside the corporate perimeter where they are strongest. The edge stops being a liability.
Beyond Phishing Resistance
Most tools defend the door. NullEdge removes the door.
Every Zero Trust solution on the market still assumes a credential was issued: a password, a token, a badge. They work hard to make sure the right person uses it. NullEdge takes a different approach: it eliminates the credential surface at the device entirely. Your IAM and SSO remain exactly where they are, operating inside the corporate perimeter. The attacker never gets a foothold on the edge to reach them.
⚠ Traditional Zero Trust
✗Phishing-resistant MFA still relies on a credential being issued to the device
✗Stolen session tokens can bypass biometrics entirely
✗Identity is verified once at login, then assumed for the session
✗Endpoint OS persists between sessions, accumulating attack surface
✗IAM and SSO extended to every edge device, expanding the attack path
✗Credential stores remain a high-value target at the edge
✓ SNI NullEdge
✓No credentials stored on device. Continuous facial biometric only
✓Session tokens are worthless. Presence re-verified every second
✓Identity is live and continuous for every action, not just at login
✓Device resets to cryptographically clean state after every session
✓IAM and SSO stay inside the corporate perimeter. Never exposed at the edge
✓No credential store exists on the device: nothing to exfiltrate
“You are your identity — not your device. Your biometric travels with you, verified identically on any device, any application, remote or on-site.”

Persistent attack surface at the edge
Ephemeral OS plus continuous biometric presence means there is no credential to steal, no session to hijack, and no OS state to exploit. Your corporate perimeter is defended from the inside — not stretched to the edge.

Device boots from a cryptographically verified, clean OS baseline. No prior session state, no accumulated drift, no persistent attack surface.

Biometric Auth
SpiAlert verifies the authorized person is present, not a token they carry. No badge, no password, no PIN. The person is the credential.

Continuous Verification
Presence re-confirmed every second for the entire session. Step away and the session ends. Works identically across any device, app, remote or on-site.

Ephemeral Teardown
Session ends. OS destroyed completely. No credentials, no session tokens, no logs, no artifacts remain on the device.

Three Technologies. One Stack.
Nothing stored. Ever.
The Scylos ZeroCore® OS substrate boots from a cryptographically verified clean image, completely destroyed at session end. No persistent state. No accumulated drift. No attack surface that survives.
White-glove deployment from day one. Your existing edge equipment stays. Your IAM and SSO stay exactly where they are — inside the perimeter, untouched. Users experience no friction. We handle everything else.
Not a thin client. Not VDI. Something the industry hasn't had before.
Most organizations hear “ephemeral device” and think thin client or VDI. The difference is fundamental: not in degree, but in kind. Thin clients and VDI shrink the attack surface. Scylos ZeroCore eliminates it at the OS level.

OS persistence
Persistent: patched periodically, accumulates state
Boot integrity
Assumed: no cryptographic verification on boot
Session teardown
Partial: config and temp files persist across sessions
Attack surface
Smaller than a PC, but real, persistent, and patchable
Malware survival
OS-layer malware survives session end
Identity model
Credential at login, assumed for session duration

4–8 hrs/device/yr IT labor; ongoing drift and vulnerability exposure.
Eliminated. Stateless OS substrate requires no patching.
Scylos ZeroCore boots from a cryptographically verified clean image every session. There is no persistent OS to patch or drift. Vulnerability surface is architecturally removed, saving $255K+/yr on a 500-device fleet.
Eliminated at device. Continuous biometric. No tokens. No resets.
SpiAlert continuously verifies the authorized person is physically present, not a token they carry. No shared credentials, no forgotten badges, no resets. No credential store exists on the device. Credential-based attacks have nothing to leverage. IAM and SSO remain fully intact inside the corporate perimeter.
EDR / Endpoint Protection
$40–$120/device/yr; monitors a persistent attack surface that can't be fully trusted.
Substantially reduced. Attack surface is architecturally removed.
An ephemeral device has no persistent state for EDR to monitor. The attack surface that EDR exists to protect simply does not persist after session end. Saves $17.5K+/yr on a 500-device fleet.
Enterprise Browser
$15–$40/user/mo separate license; management overhead and integration cost.
Consolidated. Secure browsing is native. No separate license.
NullEdge includes secure, policy-governed browsing natively within the unified stack. No separate license, no parallel management console. Saves $150K/yr on a 500-device fleet.
IAM & SSO
Extended to every edge device, broadening the attack path and exposure surface.
Protected. Stays inside the corporate perimeter. Never exposed at edge.
NullEdge does not replace your IAM or SSO. It protects them. By eliminating credentials at the device level, your identity infrastructure never needs to extend to the edge. It operates from inside the corporate perimeter where all your security controls are strongest.
Automated. Biometric session logs are non-repudiable. Drift is impossible.
Every session is biometrically anchored and fully logged. Configuration drift is structurally impossible. Each session starts from a clean verified image. Audit logs are non-repudiable, dramatically simplifying HIPAA, CMMC, FedRAMP, and PCI-DSS compliance posture.

Healthcare & Life Sciences
PHI on shared terminals is a breach waiting to happen. NullEdge makes every session audit-ready by design: no persistent data, biometric-anchored logs, zero credential exposure.
Deploy a device with no exploitable surface. Continuous biometric verification confirms the authorized person — not a credential, not a token. Every action is session-bound and attributable to that individual.
