Internet is becoming the preferred method for remote information system access:.

More and more managers of large corporations too often have no other option but to use their 3G cards for remote connections (even from inside their own companies) as this method of connection is the only one they can activate when they are away from their desk!

Until now, security has been addressed from two angles. Firstly, the network is protected peripherally using filtering rules (IP address, MAC address, TCP/UDP ports, NAT, etc.) and secondly, software and applications are designed with security in mind, "Secure by design, Secure by default and Secure in deployment".

OpenTrust has developed a revolutionary global approach to security where peripheral security is replaced by “Trusted Ecosystems” where each component (router, network, machines & devices, servers, users, system, applications, transactions etc.) must trust the calling component and/or the component that it must in turn call to perform a task (and so on).

OpenTrust’s solution of Trusted Network and Devices, where digital identities enable servers, routers, workstations, VoIP telephones and smartphones to be authenticated, means that networks no longer have to be physically “overprotected”. Instead, “Trusted domains” can then easily be created within each network.

The traditional physically segregated network (with little room for evolution and costly to maintain) is therefore replaced by a logical network based on the different roles and privileges of trusted machines and users.
