Capability Statement. Zero Trust for On-Premise.
Trout Software delivers plug-and-play zero-trust enforcement for IT and OT environments. No agents. No downtime.
What Trout Software Does.
Trout Software builds the Access Gate: a hardware appliance that adds zero-trust enforcement to Local Area Network. Access Gates can protect critical IT or OT assets.
Connected to an existing infrastructure, it authenticates every connection, segments assets, and logs all sessions for compliance.
Zero Trust Overlay
Identity-based access control enforced at the network layer. No agents on endpoints. Built to work with any legacy and OT device.
OT & IT Coverage
Single appliance secures both operational technology and IT subnets. North-south and east-west traffic enforced simultaneously.
CMMC Alignment
Access Gate supports CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and 2 controls — including AC, AU, IA, SC, and SI families.
Plug & Play Deployment
No network redesign, no IP changes, no downtime. Production-safe installation.
