Sovereignty & Architecture
Modern cybersecurity has an architectural problem
AI-era cybersecurity needs complete data.
Cloud-era architecture means the most sensitive organizations can’t send
it.
Don’t hamper your security.
Rethink your architecture.
Fragmented, legacy architectures are built on tradeoffs.
Cylake is built for you.
01
Cloud-era architectures were built for different constraints
Security has always adapted to a shifting perimeter: from the network edge to the endpoint, to the cloud, to identity. The architecture underneath it rarely has.
Effective cybersecurity AI needs complete data. But security vendors force you into using the public cloud. These two are incompatible for many organizations.
You can’t close that gap with a new product on top of what already exists. It demands a different architecture altogether.
-
Firewall / Perimeter
The network boundary defined what was inside and outside. Everything was on-premises by default.
-
Endpoint
Devices became the new boundary as the workforce dispersed and remote access expanded.
-
Cloud
Workloads moved to shared infrastructure. Visibility fragmented across dozens of vendor silos.
-
Identity
The boundary became the user. Zero trust emerged, but data still traveled to the public cloud to be analyzed.
-
Data sovereignty: 2026 and beyond
The shift that makes all prior architectural assumptions visible, and most of them untenable.
02
The organizations with the most sensitive data face the hardest tradeoffs
-
Send the data, lose the control
Route sensitive data through cloud platforms and you get the detection capability. But your data now lives on someone else’s infrastructure, potentially training their next model. Governance becomes an aspiration.
-
Keep the data, throttle the capability
Keep sensitive data on-premises and stay compliant. But your detection capabilities can’t match cloud-based approaches, so you defend the most sensitive and regulated environments with the weakest detections.
03
If everyone claims to have a data lake, maybe nobody does
- 1
Don’t rely on the fragmented, partial data puddles your security vendors call lakes.
- 2
Don’t accept vendors training their models on your sensitive data.
- 3
Keep your data yours. And for the first time, see all of it, and use all of it for your security.
04
The perimeter is now who controls the infrastructure processing your data. Let it be you
- 1
Not the firewall. Not the endpoint. Not the cloud boundary, and not the identity provider. The perimeter has always moved. This time, so does the architecture.
- 2
Sovereignty has become the new firewall.
The reasoning engine protecting a nation cannot be a tenant on someone else’s infrastructure.”
05
You-centric architecture: a vertically integrated platform
Software, hardware, data lake, and intelligence. Built for complete data and complete control.
-
Your data lake
1
Identity, network, cloud, SaaS, endpoint, and anything else: ingested completely, not sampled. A genuine data lake, not vendor puddles stitched together.
-
Your intelligence
2
Detection and workflows running on your complete dataset. No vendor training on your data. No cloud inference on your sensitive data.
[] Our platform -
Your hardware
3
Compute, storage, and inference purpose-built for security workloads. In your rack, under your full governance.
