What Xage Critical Asset Protection is
Xage Critical Asset Protection secures operational technology, data centers, cloud, IoT, and infrastructure assets with virtual patching, identity-based access control, and dynamic segmentation. Virtual patching shields vulnerable or unpatchable assets from known vulnerabilities and zero-day threats without disrupting operations. The product continuously authenticates users, machines, and applications, adjusting access to context and risk. Per-user and per-device policies support asset-level micro-segmentation and IEC 62443 zones and conduits. Just-in-time controls provide only necessary access for a limited period through one-time credentials. Phishing-resistant MFA and SSO support multiple identity providers and disconnected environments. Its agentless, non-intrusive design avoids complex firewall reconfiguration and can be deployed within hours. Local policy enforcement is intended to preserve protection in offline, air-gapped, or degraded networks. Hardware protection supports up to 10,000 devices; a virtual appliance supports existing virtualization infrastructure. Pricing is available on request.
