Xage Broker pushes security policy from the center into the edge.
Identity management and access control
Xage Gateways, Enforcement Points and optional Clients form a blockchain-protected fabric for security and app data, operating independent of central connectivity.
Users, applications and devices authenticate and cooperate via the Xage security fabric.
"Trust and access control for devices, users, and applications at the edge are key requirements for securing industrial and commercial IoT deployments. Xage’s security platform meets all of those requirements."

Xage Gateway
Xage Gateways form a blockchain-protected Fabric for tamperproof on-site storage of security information and app data, with edge-cloud data validation.
- Real-time operations without offsite dependency
- Strength in numbers: No single point to hack
- Device credential management and proxy access
- Device lifecycle management and provisioning
Xage Broker
Deployed centrally, the Broker connects central services such as Active Directory with the edge Fabric. It synchronizes credentials, certificates, policies and shared data between edge and center.
- Central control, autonomous edge operation
- Role-based remote access and single sign-on
- Conduit for central data handling
Xage Policy Manager
The Xage Policy Manager enables security policies to be defined centrally and then replicated and enforced system-wide, automating the protection of critical infrastructure.
- Automated cybersecurity for distributed operations
- Controls security field-wide from a single dashboard
- Meets evolving compliance needs e.g. NERC-CIP
Xage Enforcement Point
Xage Enforcement Point (XEP) is a filter which protects vulnerable industrial controllers and IIoT devices that may have no built-in password or secure protocol protection of their own.
- Protects down to specific devices & controllers
- Enforces access control policy per Xage Fabric
- Blocks any attempt to compromise an asset
Optional Xage Client Agent
Deployed within an industrial device, the optional Client Agent allows the device to participate directly in the Xage blockchain-secured IIOT Fabric and lifecycle management system.
- Standards-based enrollment (EST, SCEP, via CoAP, HTTP)
- Low-power support
- Blockchain node: Increased security and tamper-proofing
Xage Management Tools
The Xage Management Tools provide monitoring, alerting and single-pane-of-glass management of the Xage Suite.
- Orchestration and monitoring
- Audit and compliance
- Attack-detection and alerting

the whitepaper
The current model of enterprise security is incapable of protecting Industry 4.0 with its intermittently connected, heterogeneous devices and applications, distributed across organizations and geographies. Today’s centralized IT security paradigm needs to be replaced by cybersecurity that is distributed, flexible and adaptive.
