Learn About Lucid's Core Technology
Zero Trust with User and Device Profiles for Identity
Lucid’s security and connectivity is based on a Zero Trust approach to identifying users and devices. Going beyond just simple authentication, Lucid’s patented approach leverages a new user's or device's behavior to continually evaluate the need for additional authentication.
Authentication
Through its state-of-the-art platform, Lucid establishes a stringent validation process. Each device, regardless of its prior interactions or status, undergoes a meticulous identity-centric authentication procedure by using biometric authentication. Biometric authorization is issued for continuous authentication. By embedding the device's true identity at the very edge of the network, Lucid ensures a tight-knit security fabric where only recognized and authenticated devices gain access. Unauthorized entities find themselves facing a barrier they are unable to breach.
Zero Trust Isolation for All Devices
Zero Trust Security is a modern paradigm that revolves around the notion of "trust no one, verify everything". CyberLucent has adopted these core principles of Zero Trust within its Lucid platform. In contrast to legacy systems that deem any device connected to the same wireless network as trusted, CyberLucent brings forth a renewed focus on full device isolation.
Edge Based Isolation
The Lucid software operates at the edge, residing on a container that exists on all types of gateways. Lucid software allows all devices to be isolated from other devices without the need for agents, allowing isolation of even the most simplistic IOT devices connected to the network. Each endpoint, whatever it is, is isolated from other devices and operates on its own data path through secure WireGuard tunnels. This isolation prevents any potential lateral attacks from other device son the same network.
Lucid extends isolation and security capabilities not only down to a single user’s laptop, smartphone, or tablet it extends to everything connected to the network. Mobile and remote users will be protected from other devices connected to network.
End to End Isolation and Protection
By transforming the conventional wide-net trust model into a fully end to end isolated network with full based access control (RBAC), combined with individual, isolated WireGuard encrypted tunnels, CyberLucent stands at the forefront of cybersecurity and network simplicity.
Well Beyond Traditional SASE — Future Proof
Lucid is fully SASE compliant solution, that goes well beyond what traditional SASE based approaches provided today. Lucid isn’t hampered by poor isolation of devices running on the same network and because it is based on the edge it allows for end to end isolation and protection. By allowing full isolation of all devices, simplified network connectivity and secure, isolated tunnels throughout the network, Lucid fully supports distributed work forces and IOT use cases for maximum flexibility, performance and security.
Network Connectivity, Simplicity, and Performance through a Virtual Mesh Network Overlay
As the digital landscape grows and evolves, so does the demand for faster, more reliable network infrastructure. CyberLucent rises to this challenge by pioneering a mesh network overlay comprised of secure WireGuard tunnels designed to supercharge network performance while dramatically reducing the complexity of network management.
The WireGuard protocol uses new encryption technology and network code to create an encrypted tunnel between the gateway and X-Node. Its unique design and encryption methods emphasize both speed and security, enabling Lucid to deliver a product that is not only safer than legacy solutions but faster too.
Lucid in Legacy Systems:
No Complex VPN or SD-WAN to Administer
CyberLucent has addressed the complexities and potential issues with traditional VPN and SD-WAN systems. Lucid can work within legacy systems or, if desired be used to eliminate the need to VPNs and SD-WAN altogether.
Companies using Lucid bypass the cumbersome configurations, continuous patching, and administrative overhead typically associated with VPN and SD-WAN. Instead, Lucid provides a streamlined, fully SASE-compliant, integrated solution that provides robust security, faster/lower latency connectivity, and a user-friendly interface.
CyberLucent's innovative approach is rooted in the utilization of modern technologies such as WireGuard and standard’s based containers and a deep understanding of networking security. This ensures that organizations can protect themselves and their employees without wading through the complexities and potential pitfalls of conventional VPN, CASB or SD-WAN administration.
Unified Point to Point Network
Lucid creates a single, unified LAN for all Lucid Devices within an organization and removes the need for complex network planning, routing and address space management. Lucid provides for automatic IP address assignments, which dramatically simplifies network management.
Routing Rules and Access Rules
Lucid provides both routing rules and access rules that simplify network communication. For use cases that require packets to be routed to an external networks such as legacy LAN networks and the internet, Lucid allows routing rules that define the flow of packets.
For use cases that require communications between Lucid Devices, Lucid access rules consider the connection points and network address required to facilitate connection.
End to End Network Monitoring for Security and Optimal Performance
Lucid not only monitors the entire network for potential threats, it also provides a pane of glass viewpoint into the operation and connectivity of the network. This facilitates unparalleled control of network elements at scale. These insights can be integrated directly into existing management systems or be operated as a separate view into the network.
AI Threat Detection and Response
CyberLucent's integration of AI goes well beyond basic monitoring. By analyzing patterns and behaviors, the system can proactively identify and flag potential threats, often predicting vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Lucid's active anomaly detection provides the ability to monitor live traffic and use pattern recognition in combination with Deep Packet inspection to alert and isolate security issues.
Automated Risk Response and Reporting
With the AI framework, network administrators are no longer bogged down by manual monitoring. The platform offers actionable insights, highlighting vulnerabilities, analyzing device behaviors, and recommending measures, thus enabling proactive network management. Custom, automated actions can be set depending on an event detection (e.g., notify, de-authorize), allowing for rapid security response. All non-policy conforming traffic triggers a notification and, if warranted, is blocked.
Evolving New Threats
Continual learning and adaptation are cornerstones of AI. Over time, the Lucid platform learns from the network's interactions, adapting and optimizing its defense mechanisms to constantly advance security and remain ahead of new and emerging threats.
Single Pane of Glass View of Network Performance and Analysis
Lucid also provides an end to end view of connectivity and network performance. The system provides a single pane of glass view into live traffic monitoring and historic analytical data for all network elements and traffic.
