Trout builds hardened enclaves by combining overlay networking and software-defined proxies with a full Zero-Trust control stack.
Enclaves combines identity, access control, encryption, logging, and documentation into a single, integrated on-premise enforcement layer.
How Trout Access Gate Secures Critical On-Premise Systems
Summary of Trout Access Gate and CMMC Coverage
Trout provides a practical way to enforce Zero Trust for critical on-premise IT and OT systems where agents cannot be installed and downtime is not acceptable. It addresses the gap between cloud environments, where identity-based access is standard, and on-premise networks, where critical systems still rely on implicit trust.
By deploying a single Access Gate inside the network, Trout creates logical Zero Trust enclaves around selected critical systems using overlay networking and software-defined proxying. Protected systems remain unchanged, while all access is authenticated, controlled, encrypted, logged, and documented at the network level.
Trout delivers a complete, integrated set of security services—including visibility, access control and PAM, encryption, logging, and audit documentation—through a single on-premise control plane. This integrated approach enables strong, consistent enforcement without relying on multiple disconnected tools.
Trout operates fully on-premise, works with legacy applications and industrial control systems, and can replace VLAN- and firewall-based segmentation for the systems it protects. It reduces blast radius, improves auditability, and allows organizations to secure their most critical systems with minimal operational impact.
