Our Approach to Zero-Trust Security

Why Zero Trust?

Traditional perimeter-based security assumes everything inside the network is safe. Zero trust flips this model — never trust, always verify. Every request, regardless of origin, is authenticated, authorized, and encrypted.

At Nexbic, we apply zero-trust principles across three layers: infrastructure, API, and user access.

Infrastructure Layer

All service-to-service communication uses mutual TLS (mTLS). Each service has a unique identity certificate that is rotated every 24 hours. Network policies enforce least-privilege access between services.

API Layer

Every API request is authenticated via OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys, authorized against fine-grained policies, and logged for audit. Rate limiting and anomaly detection catch abuse in real time.

User Access Layer

Users authenticate with MFA by default. Session tokens are short-lived and bound to device fingerprints. Suspicious login attempts trigger automatic account lockdown.

Ongoing Audits

Our zero-trust model is validated quarterly by third-party auditors. SOC 2 Type II certification confirms our controls meet industry standards.
