HAC-1 Hardware Access Control
The Sepio platform uses a novel algorithm; a combination of physical layer fingerprinting module coupled with a Machine Learning module – providing the sought-after visibility and enforcement level. It is further augmented by a threat intelligence database – ensuring a lower risk hardware infrastructure.
Existing solutions rely on data gathered and analyzed from L2 to L7 – leaving L1 (the physical layer) unattended. Our revolutionary solution focuses on bridging this visibility gap by analyzing L1 data, uncovering ALL connected assets, and verifying their TRUE identity so you can confidently TRUST them. MAC-less devices, unmanaged assets, spoofing and legitimate devices – You will see it ALL.
HAC-1 generates a physical layer fingerprint vector for every connected device, based on multiple L1 parameters, which is then analyzed by our ML-based algorithm resulting in a new visibility level, which has not been achieved before.
No traffic monitoring
No traffic monitoring means no port-mirroring configurations and networking infrastructure changes and most important no risk of private data leakage.
Rapid deployment
With multiple deployment options including – Agentless, ZT and Agent based. Usually it would take less than 24hrs to deploy a full blown HAC-1 solution in your enterprise.
No baseline or training
An immediate ROI – once deployed, the HAC-1 will provide the full asset visibility and detect rogue devices, even if they were deployed before the HAC-1.
Complete visibility to all of your hardware assets – whether connected as a peripheral or a network element.
Mitigate devices that operate at L1 (physical layer) or HID impersonating devices.
Easy to operate, requiring low maintenance and human intervention overhead.
Enforce specific hardware usage – creating granular access control based on roles or devices characteristics.
No rules or post-processing required. Required measures are clearly delivered to the user.
Out-of-the-box integration with leading cybersecurity products as well as other 3rd party vendors tools.
Sepio Systems HAC-1, provides 100% hardware device visibility.
HAC-1 instantly detects any devices which breach the set rules and automatically block them to prevent malicious attacks.
Platform Overview of Sepio’s Hardware Assets Control solution
With greater visibility, the zero-trust architecture can grant access decisions with complete information.
Thus, enhancing the enterprise’s protection within, and outside of, its traditional perimeters.
Additionally, the HAC-1 capabilities, block Rogue Devices as soon as they are detected
HAC-1 stop an attack at the first instance, not even allowing such devices to make network access requests.
Embracing Zero Trust Hardware Access in critical infrastructure is key.

Sepio Systems is the only company in the world to undertake Physical Layer fingerprinting. HAC-1 detects and handles all peripherals; no device goes unmanaged.
Furthermore ,the Physical Layer is the lowest layer of the OSI model and provides hardware security. This layer is responsible for the actual physical connection between the devices by identifying the equipment involved in the data transfer.
Layer 1 defines the hardware equipment, cabling, wiring, frequencies, and pulses. The information is contained in the form of bits and transmitted from one node to another.
With this total visibility, a stronger cyber security posture is achieved. There is no longer needed to rely on manual reporting or employee compliance.
Having visibility across all hardware assets provides a more comprehensive cyber security defense. Reduce the risk of a hardware attack being successful and our private data being stolen.
Sepio Systems’ Hardware Access Control solutions, HAC-1 enables Physical Layer visibility, providing a panacea to the gap in device visibility. Not only are all devices visible to HAC-1, but by validating a device’s Physical Layer information, its identity is revealed – not just what it claims to be.
The HAC-1 policy enforcement mechanism enables Hardware Access Control by enforcing a strict, or more granular, set of rules based on the device’s characteristics. HAC-1 instantly detects any devices which breach the pre-set policy, automatically instigating a mitigation process to block the device, thus preventing malicious actors from successfully carrying out an attack.
HAC-1 brings the ultimate solution to effective zero trust adoption by significantly reducing an enterprise’s blind spots. With greater visibility, the zero-trust architecture can grant access decisions with complete information. Thus, enhancing the enterprise’s protection within, and outside of, its traditional perimeters.
HAC-1 supports data access policy development by enabling the creation of more valid policies based on complete asset visibility. So, while critical infrastructure protects the nation, HAC-1 is here to protect critical infrastructure. Embracing Zero Trust and Zero Trust Hardware Access in critical infrastructure is key.
