• Centripetal has designed the CleanINTERNET solution, a network-security-as-a-service (NSaaS) providing organizations with a threat-intelligence-based defense against Internet threats and attacks, known and unknown. The service allows organizations to enforce dynamically updated rules and policies against incoming and outgoing network traffic from any Internet connection.
• Using a combination of human and AI-driven analytics, CleanINTERNET allows organizations’ cyber defenses adapt to the dynamic nature of threats and attacks, regardless of security risk level. By enforcing dynamic policies derived from real-time threat intelligence, the service triages an organization’s threat events to target those requiring proactive treatment before damage occurs. This dramatically decreases threat noise, thus reducing the workload on security analysts and SOC personnel.
• CleanINTERNET can be tailored for any organization and risk profile, regardless of industry segment or vertical.

• Evangelizing and supporting development of a next generation Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) product based on a distributed 5G architecture. While the system architecture is based on 5G, all types of IP traffic and transport, both wired and wireless, can be secured simultaneously.
• The system utilizes a standards-based 5G Core-to-Edge platform and combines multiple cybersecurity and network Containerized Network Functions (CNFs) including SD-WAN (rate shaping), Next Gen Firewall, IDS/IPS, CASB, Secure DNS, Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Web Application & API Firewall (WAAF), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
• The system is accessed using highly secure, certificate-based VPN technologies, and can support all major operating system platforms using end-point agents/clients. It can also support standalone devices (IoT, IP cameras & desk phones, etc.) via standalone x86-based gateways, either virtualized or bare metal.
• The Exium service is deployed as a SaaS offering, but can and has been deployed as a standalone, fully on-premise solution.
• An integrated Elastic data-lake stores all meta data from an organization's traffic flows for archiving, retrieval, and analysis. An AI/ML-based XDR mines this data lake, allowing near-real-time monitoring of an organization’s cybersecurity posture, as well as autonomic provisioning of policies to mitigate threats.
