Overview

Safous is a cutting-edge Zero Trust security platform that helps enterprises achieve compliance with NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. Covering Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover, it safeguards IT, OT, IoT, and API environments.

Unlike traditional security solutions, Safous offers agentless Zero Trust Access (ZTA), requiring no software installation or infrastructure changes. It secures internal IT applications, SCADA/ICS systems, IoT devices, and APIs while minimizing attack surfaces by concealing access points.

Safous supports air-gapped OT environments with integrated Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM) and Identity and Access Management (IAM), enabling secure maintenance without external connections. Granular access policies consider user roles, device posture, and data classification, reducing internal risks. Multi-factor authentication and single sign-on further enhance security while hiding privileged accounts.

As supply chain attacks, generative AI-driven social engineering, and API-targeted breaches rise in 2024-2025, Safous enforces least-privilege access policies and robust API security. It integrates seamlessly with DevSecOps, securing APIs critical to modern businesses.

Safous also strengthens governance by supporting NIST CSF 2.0’s Govern function, aiding policy definition, role assignment, and risk management while ensuring compliance with ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, and CIS Controls.

Trusted by manufacturing, finance, healthcare, and government sectors, Safous secures web systems, desktops, file servers, and cloud applications. It enhances third-party vendor security, modernizes legacy systems, and ensures regulatory compliance, reducing attack surfaces and protecting critical infrastructure.

Key Capabilities / Features

* Simple Security Assessments
Safous delivers straightforward security evaluations and attack surface diagnostics across IT, OT, IoT, and APIs, identifying vulnerabilities before they cause disruptions.


* Zero Trust Protection
The platform enforces a Zero Trust model across all environments, concealing endpoints from external discovery and applying least-privilege access to minimize attack surfaces.


* Unified Access Platform
Safous consolidates cloud services, data centers, OT systems, and IoT devices into a single dashboard. Dynamic access controls adapt to user roles, device posture, and evolving risk factors.


* Adaptive Access Policies
Safous tailors policies for diverse systems—including legacy, air-gapped OT, and distributed IoT setups—ensuring secure connections without burdening productivity.


* Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM)
Integrated RPAM enables secure remote maintenance and real-time session oversight without installing agents. Granular controls protect sensitive operations across IT/OT/IoT, reducing insider threats.


* Zero Trust API Concealment
API endpoints remain invisible until authenticated, preventing unauthorized traffic and strengthening the security of application integrations.


* Advanced Web Threat Protection
Safous guards against OWASP Top 10 risks, DDoS attacks, and more through robust firewalls and traffic management. Remote browser isolation further contains malware by sandboxing browser sessions.


* Frictionless User Experience
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) deliver strong security and seamless access, eliminating obstacles for legitimate users.


* Minimized Exposure & Post-Access Control
By hiding resources until verification, Safous drastically reduces the exposed surface area. Detailed session monitoring and anomaly detection contain breaches. Since sensitive data isn’t stored in the cloud, compliance and overall risk are further simplified.


How we are different

* Comprehensive, Agentless, Hybrid Zero Trust for IT and OT
Safous introduces a unified Zero Trust Access solution that secures both IT and OT environments—encompassing SCADA/ICS systems and APIs—without requiring agents on endpoints. Its Remote Privileged Access feature enables controlled, secure maintenance of industrial systems, even in air-gapped networks, ensuring that critical operations remain isolated from external threats yet remain fully manageable.


* Integrated Attack Surface Analysis and Seamless Transition
Beyond simply providing Zero Trust protection, Safous delivers upfront assessments of potential attack surface vulnerabilities and domain-specific risks. This integrated approach pinpoints and fortifies weak spots, facilitating a smooth migration to Zero Trust security. By unifying Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM) and granular policy enforcement, Safous reduces complexity for both privileged and non-privileged users.


* Global Reach with APAC Focus
Unlike many North America-centric solutions, Safous maintains extensive Points of Presence (PoPs) across APAC, Europe, and beyond. This broad coverage supports stable connectivity in geographically dispersed locations—including island nations or remote industrial sites—helping industrial organizations achieve consistent performance and protection. Consequently, Safous stands out for its reliability and flexibility, delivering advanced Zero Trust capabilities worldwide to secure critical OT operations.
