    It's Time to Go Beyond VPNs. What Zoom did in the Videoconferencing market, Faction Networks will do in the market for VPNs, SDNs and more in cybersecurity. Our breakthrough platform powers a totally decentralized, encrypted private network which is created, controlled visible, accessible only by the network owner and the devices and users he or she invites and authenticates. Faction Networks:1. eliminate the vulnerabilities of VPNs and Firewalls - which are widely exploited and prone to catastrophic hacks;2. provide the flexibility and segmentation of SDNs - but with none of their complexity and cost; and 3. secure the smart, dumb and legacy devices that are so critical to our home and lives, military and economy but are left vulnerable by VPNs and SDNs.Most importantly of all, Faction Networks are low cost and easy to deploy, manage and use by any individual, workgroup or organization. We call it Zero Trust for the Rest of Us! We are now signing up early adopter customers in manufacturing, healthcare or green energy verticals for selected pilots and then private beta deployments preparation for commercial launch in Q1 2025 If you are interested, please do reach out to me.
