Security Overview Compliance Guide

Zero Trust Security Model

Never Trust, Always Verify

ZBlox Platform implements a comprehensive zero-trust security model where no user, device, or service is trusted by default, regardless of network location. Every access request is verified, authenticated, and authorized based on multiple factors.

Security controls are embedded at every layer of the platform architecture, from hardware-level isolation through application-level authorization, ensuring that security enhances rather than hinders platform capabilities.

Defense in Depth

Multiple independent security layers provide protection against threats at every level of the infrastructure stack. From network isolation through container hardening, each layer provides independent security controls.

This approach ensures that no single point of failure can compromise the overall security posture, while automated threat detection and response capabilities provide real-time protection against emerging threats.

Hardware-Level Isolation

Service functions run in isolated Kata QEMU micro-VMs, providing superior security boundaries compared to traditional container approaches. This hardware-level isolation ensures complete separation between workloads.

Each function execution environment is completely isolated with dedicated memory, CPU, and network resources, preventing any possibility of cross-contamination or data leakage between different applications or tenants.

Security Architecture Components

🔑

OIDC Authentication

Standard OpenID Connect authentication with support for multiple identity providers including Active Directory, Google, Microsoft, and custom OIDC providers.

AUTHENTICATION FEATURES:
  • Multi-factor authentication (TOTP, WebAuthn, SMS)
  • Social login integration
  • Custom authentication flows
  • Session management and timeout controls
👥

Role-Based Access Control

Hierarchical RBAC model with fine-grained permissions at system, service, data, and topic levels. Real-time permission evaluation and dynamic access control.

RBAC CAPABILITIES:
  • Resource-level permissions
  • Inherited permissions through groups
  • Conditional access policies
  • API-level authorization enforcement
🔐

Data Encryption

Comprehensive encryption at rest and in transit using enterprise-grade encryption algorithms with automated key management and rotation policies.

ENCRYPTION FEATURES:
  • AES-256 encryption for all data
  • TLS 1.3 for network communication
  • Hardware Security Module integration
  • Automated key rotation
📋

Audit Logging

Comprehensive audit trail of all system activities including user actions, data access, configuration changes, and security events for compliance and forensics.

AUDIT CAPABILITIES:
  • Complete user activity tracking
  • Data access and modification logs
  • Security event monitoring
  • Compliance reporting automation
🌐

Network Security

Zero-trust network architecture with micro-segmentation, intrusion detection, DDoS protection, and comprehensive network monitoring and analysis.

NETWORK PROTECTION:
  • Micro-segmentation between services
  • Intrusion detection and prevention
  • DDoS protection and rate limiting
  • Network traffic analysis
⚠️

Threat Detection

Real-time threat detection and automated response capabilities with machine learning-based anomaly detection and security incident management.

THREAT RESPONSE:
  • Real-time anomaly detection
  • Automated threat response
  • Security incident management
  • Behavioral analysis and alerting

Authentication & Authorization Flow

Secure, standards-based authentication with seamless user experience

1

User Login

User authenticates through OIDC provider with optional MFA

2

Token Validation

Platform validates JWT signature and claims

3

User Context

Extract user identity, roles, and permissions

4

Session Creation

Associate validated context with user session

5

Access Control

Enforce permissions at every resource access

Security Integration Example

Security controls are automatically integrated into every service function

Service Function with Built-in Security
// Security is transparent to developers
public class OrderService
{
    private readonly IDataStore dataStore;
    private readonly IAuthorizer authorizer;
    
    // Function automatically receives validated user context
    public async Task<Order> GetOrder(string orderId)
    {
        // Automatic permission checking
        if (!await authorizer.HasPermission(
            UserContext.UserId, "data:orders:read", "orders", orderId))
        {
            throw new UnauthorizedException("Access denied to order");
        }
        
        // Data access with row-level security
        var order = await dataStore.GetById("orders", orderId);
        
        // Automatic audit logging
        await auditLogger.LogAccess(
            UserContext.UserId, "order_accessed", orderId);
            
        return order;
    }
    
    public async Task<Order> UpdateOrder(string orderId, UpdateOrderRequest request)
    {
        // Role-based authorization
        if (!UserContext.HasRole("order-manager") && 
            !await authorizer.HasPermission(UserContext.UserId, 
                "data:orders:write", "orders", orderId))
        {
            throw new UnauthorizedException("Cannot modify order");
        }
        
        // Update with automatic encryption and audit trail
        var updated = await dataStore.Update("orders", 
            Query.Where("id", orderId), request);
            
        return updated;
    }
}

Security Benefits

Simplified Management

Unified security model across all platform components eliminates the complexity of managing authentication and authorization across multiple services. Single point of configuration for access control, audit logging, and compliance requirements.

Security controls scale automatically with platform growth while maintaining consistent protection. Development teams get enterprise-grade security without requiring specialized security expertise or complex integration work.

Developer Productivity

Security integration is transparent to service function developers. Authentication, authorization, and audit logging work automatically without custom security implementation, allowing teams to focus on business logic.

Built-in security controls prevent common vulnerabilities like injection attacks, unauthorized access, and data leakage through platform-level protection rather than requiring per-application security measures.
