For years, enterprises have tried to modernize secure access using VPN replacements, identity providers, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) tools. But even with identity and network controls in place, one fundamental question remains unanswered:
“Can you trust the device requesting access?”
Most Zero Trust vendors authenticate users - but ignore the devices they operate from.
And in today’s threat landscape, this gap is becoming the primary root cause of access breaches, credential theft, and lateral movement.This is why device trust scoring has emerged as the missing layer in modern Zero Trust architecture.
But Secureify Trust goes even further:
It integrates device trust deep into a multi-IDE engineering environment - merging secure access with real productivity for developers, SREs, DevOps engineers, and DBAs.This combination doesn’t exist anywhere else in the Zero Trust space.
1. Why User Identity Alone Is Not Zero Trust
Most ZTNA platforms rely on three things:
User identity
MFA
Network context
While these are important, they miss the true attack vector itself:
Threat actors target devices - not identity systems.
Because once a device is compromised:
Passwords can be intercepted
SSH keys can be extracted
kubeconfigs can be copied
Browser sessions can be hijacked
MFA tokens can be stolen
VPN/ZTNA tunnels can be misused
Identity alone is not enough.
A Zero Trust system must verify the state of the device at every access request.
2. Why Device Trust Matters for Regulated Industries
In regions like:
Saudi Arabia (NCA, SAMA, CST, PDPL)
United Arab Emirates (NESA, IA, UAE PDPL, CBUAE)
regulations require:
✔ Endpoint compliance
✔ Access auditing
✔ Device-level controls
✔ No public exposure of resources
VPN and traditional ZTNA solutions do not meet these requirements because they:
Trust the device if the user logs in
Do not check device posture
Cannot block compromised devices
Cannot enforce dynamic device policies
Cannot evaluate real-time trust
Secureify Trust solves these problems with continuous device evaluation before granting access to resources like:
Kubernetes
Openshift
Databases ( All Types of Databases )
SSH Servers
Windows Servers RDP
Internal Web applications
3. The Multi-IDE Advantage - Zero Trust Inside the Engineering Workflow
This is where Secureify Trust becomes completely unique.
Other Zero Trust vendors stop at “secure access.” by only making a ZTNA
Secureify adds something revolutionary:
A fully integrated multi-IDE Desktop environment.
From one secure app, engineers can access:
✔ SQL & NoSQL Databases
✔ Kubernetes / Openshift Clusters
✔ SSH servers
✔ RDP for Windows machines
✔ Redis
✔ Internal Web Apps
This solves a problem no ZTNA vendor has fixed:
Engineers need access AND tools - not just tunnels.
Traditional workflow:
Open VPN/ZTNA
Open SQL client and type a static credentials ( which often be shared with the teams )
Open kubectl terminal
Open SSH client
Manage credentials manually
Hope nothing leaks
Secureify workflow:
Click “Connect”
Device trust validated
Secure leasable connection created
All activity fully audited ( All Authentication, Authorization and Sessions are logged )
This is a generational improvement.
4. Zero Credentials. Zero Exposure. Zero Exceptions.
Secureify Trust eliminates traditional secrets entirely:
No passwords
No SSH keys
No kubeconfigs
No database credentials
No certificates stored locally
Access is granted through:
Ephemeral credentials
Identity-aware sessions
Device trust validation
Secure Leasable Connections
This closes 90% of the common attack vectors used against DevOps, DevSecOps and Engineering teams.
5. Real-Time Enforcement - If the Device Trust Drops, Access Drops
If during a session the device becomes risky:
Disk encryption disabled
Firewall turned off
Suspicious process detected
Proxy intercepting traffic
Secureify Trust can instantly revoke the session.
This is the essence of Zero Trust:
Never trust. Always verify. Continuously enforce.
6. Full Auditability and Compliance Built-In
Every access event is logged:
Who accessed
When granted the access
Which device
From where
Who granted the access
Which SQL|NoSQL query
Which Kubernetes command
Which SSH/RDP session
Which web request
This satisfies requirements in:
PDPL
NCA
SAMA
CBUAE
UAE NESA
UAE IA
ISO 27001
PCI DSS
HIPAA
and more
Auditors love Secureify’s model because everything is self-hosted and nothing leaves the organization.
7. The Future of Enterprise Access - Device, Identity, and Context Combined
Secureify Trust represents a new category in access security
Zero Trust + Multi-IDE + Device Trust + Local Sovereignty
all in one platform.
It is not just a ZTNA only.
It is not just an SSH gateway or Web gateway.
It is not just a Kubernetes access tool.
It is not just a secure tunnel tool.
It is not just a DB client.
It is all of them together - with Zero Trust built into the core.
This is the future of secure engineering access, and the future has started in the GCC through Secureify Trust.
