User-facing zero trust is well understood. The harder problem is east-west: workload-to-workload trust inside the cloud. Cloudgenics builds zero trust controls into the image and the platform — not as an overlay.
Every Cloudgenics image enforces the seven tenets of NIST SP 800-207 zero trust — identity per request, least privilege per session.
East-west workload identity bound to short-lived SPIFFE-compatible identities issued by the Cloudgenics control plane.
Runtime workloads attest their image lineage — only approved, signed images can join the workload mesh.
Privileged access is granted just-in-time with full session recording, MFA enforcement and approval workflows.
Where available (Nitro, vTPM, Confidential VM), workload identity binds to hardware root of trust.
