Identity Continuity
Maintains a locally enforced identity authority so authentication and access persist even when fully isolated from enterprise systems.

GapShield
Next-Generation Identity Resilience and Mission Continuity
Assured Identity Continuity
GapShield is a mission-ready, air-gapped ICAM continuity appliance purpose-built for denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) environments. It operates at the edge of the network, delivering full identity, authentication, and access control without reliance on persistent connectivity. Engineered for true air-gapped conditions, GapShield maintains a locally enforced identity authority, ensuring mission continuity even when completely isolated from enterprise systems.
When connectivity is available, GapShield performs controlled, secure synchronization with enterprise ICAM services such as Okta, GCDS, and directory systems. When disconnected, it seamlessly transitions to a self-sustaining, encrypted identity environment — preserving policy enforcement, user access, and audit integrity with no operational disruption.
Delivered as a hardened, STIG-compliant appliance, GapShield combines high availability, encrypted data stores, and full auditability with controlled internet-burst synchronization and rapid zeroize capabilities for compromised environments. GapShield does not replace enterprise ICAM — it extends it into fully air-gapped and contested environments, projecting trusted identity to the tactical edge.
