What it is
Solvera Zero Trust is application control. Instead of trying to catch every bad program, it starts from a list of the software your business uses and blocks anything not on it. Approved programs can also be limited in what they can reach.
Why it matters for your business
Most malware is a program running on a computer without permission. If unknown programs cannot run, a large share of attacks stop there, including new ones no antivirus has seen yet. It also keeps random downloads and unlicensed software off company machines.
How it works
- We install Zero Trust in learning mode and record the software your team already uses.
- We review that list with you and approve what belongs.
- We switch to protection mode. Approved software runs normally and anything else is blocked.
- If someone needs a new program, they send a request from the pop-up and our team reviews it.
- We limit high-risk tools, like scripting tools, so they only do what your business needs.
How it protects your business
- Blocks unknown programs and ransomware from running
- Stops staff from installing unapproved software
- Limits what approved apps can reach on the network and in your files
- Can block or control USB drives
- Gives you a clear list of the software in use
- Supports audit questions about controlling software on company devices

Solvera Zero Trust FAQ
Will this get in the way of work?
After the learning period, most people do not notice it. When something new is needed, the request takes a few clicks.
How long does a software request take?
Our team reviews requests during business hours. You can mark a request as urgent in the pop-up.
Why is it called Zero Trust?
Nothing is trusted by default. Software has to be approved before it can run.
Does it replace Endpoint Protection?
No. They work together. Zero Trust controls what can run, and Endpoint Protection watches for threats in what does run.
