WHITEPAPER
Greymatter’s Value Proposition: Zero Trust Networking at Scale
Our networks are under constant pressure, and application security is not keeping pace.
Adversaries, misconfigurations, and insider threats introduce daily risks. One missed patch or broken policy can disrupt operations, compromise missions, or damage customer trust.
At Greymatter.io, we built our platform to solve this. Our Zero Trust Networking solution helps teams secure, standardize, and scale their applications and workloads with confidence. Here’s how we address the most pressing issues facing Enterprise delivery teams:
Core Challenges We Solve
Everyone Does App Security Differently
Teams often set up TLS, routing, and access control differently for each application, API, or service. This creates gaps, drift, and inconsistent outcomes. Without standardization and automation, it’s nearly impossible to ensure system-wide security and performance.
Frequent Updates Break Apps
Most teams push new code often. Continuous deployments disrupt connectivity and compliance. Custom scripts can’t keep pace with rapid change, leading to downtime and rework.
Skilled Teams Trapped in Routine Work
Engineers are bogged down with manual tasks like certificate renewals, audits, and patching—work that should be automated. These processes often depend on tribal knowledge and one-off scripts, making systems brittle and leaving organizations vulnerable when key personnel leave. The result: lost time, stalled operations, and delayed mission outcomes.
Adding New Capabilities Costs Too Much
Every new app or service requires duplicated effort—TLS, logging, policies, compliance work. Without automation, maintaining this becomes expensive and impossible to sustain.
AI Access Is a Security Free-for-All
Teams wire AI into apps through one-off scripts, unsecured APIs, agents, or hardcoded keys. This creates security gaps, governance blind spots, and inconsistent outcomes. Without a standardized AI Gateway, it’s impossible to enforce policy, manage usage, or trust what your AI is doing.
Supply Chains are Weak
Unsigned builds and manual pipelines invite bad actors. Without end-to-end assurance, supply chains become a liability for bad code to slip in, by mistake or on purpose
Why This Matters
Military & Intelligence
Time spent troubleshooting undermines operational readiness. Commanders need unwavering trust in systems when speed is critical, or missions fail.
Joint Operations
Secure interoperability and communications are essential for coordination. Systems that can’t communicate create blind spots adversaries exploit.
Financial Services
One breach can wipe out years of brand equity. Without control, enforcement, and monitoring, fraud and fines—averaging $5.9M per incident—skyrocket.
Telecommunications
Misconfigurations in 5G infrastructure can interrupt real-time services—from autonomous vehicles to industrial IoT. Five-nines uptime is non-negotiable.
Airport Operations
System failures cascade into delays, compliance issues, and passenger chaos, damaging trust and operations.
Energy & Critical Infrastructure
Outages are a national risk. One wrong config can disrupt power, water, or fuel. One compromised API, becomes a widespread crises—these are prime targets for adversaries.
How Greymatter Delivers
Zero Trust Built for
Mission Systems
Greymatter enforces military grade zero trust across all application stacks it is managing. We support secure communications and granular policy enforcement for every application.
Supply Chain Security
at Every Layer
We sign every artifact, patch regularly, and automate secure deployment for your application Zero Trust Networking layer. This reduces risk from insider and outsider threats alike.
Lower TCO, Higher Impact
Our fixed pricing and automation reduce total ownership costs by up to 70% per application over five years. That’s mission capability without budget bloat.
Unified Governance and Forensic Audits
Simplified audits and compliance with NIST ZTA, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 eliminates zero trust audit findings and reduce documentation time by +60%.
Trusted AI Gateway Control
We standardize how AI connects to your systems. We enforce policy at every connection and give teams visibility into usage, performance, and risk—so your AI is secured for mission needs.
Policy Enforcement for Each Workload
Greymatter continuously enforces access, routing, and security policies across clouds, clusters, and containers. Even as environments shift, our platform adapts.
CASE STUDY
Securing DoD Communications with Greymatter
Challenge: A Department of Defense agency managing global systems faced inconsistent application networking configurations, delaying updates and exposing systems to a myriad of threats.
Solution: The agency deployed the Greymatter Zero Trust Networking platform, automating policy enforcement, securing application, API, and service connections, and creating unprecedented control and visibility into application security profiles.
Results:
– 94% reduction in security incidents across sites.
– 70% lower total cost of ownership over five years.
– 62% faster compliance audits, meeting NIST ZTA and DoD mandates.
– Enhanced mission readiness, allowing focus on operational priorities.
Greymatter gave them control over their application security, now operating with confidence, knowing our systems are secure and performant.
