Zero Trust, Rebuilt from First Principles

Zero Trust was meant to eliminate implicit trust

Instead, most enterprises ended up with sprawling stacks of IAM, PAM, vaults, and monitoring tools—more controls, more vendors, more complexity.

This industry paper explores a simpler path.

SplitSecure rethinks Zero Trust at the cryptographic level. Secrets are split across devices, never stored in full, and never exposed. No employee, administrator, device, or vendor ever holds a complete credential. If a device is compromised, nothing can be extracted. If an employee falls for phishing, nothing can be revealed.

The result is Zero Trust without persistent credentials, without single points of failure, and without vendor sprawl.
