The Polaris Platform

From Compute Evidence to Enforceable Runtime Trust

Modern organizations increasingly run sensitive workloads across infrastructure they do not fully own or control. Polaris provides an independent mechanism to continuously determine whether that compute remains trusted and enforce policy based on the result.

Polaris works across both confidential and conventional computing environments.

In confidential computing environments, Polaris builds on hardware-rooted evidence from technologies such as AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX, and confidential GPU platforms. Confidential computing protects sensitive data while it is in use and can provide cryptographic evidence that an isolated environment launched correctly. Polaris extends that trust model through the life of the workload rather than relying solely on point-in-time verification at launch.

In conventional computing environments, Polaris can collect and appraise evidence across the platform, workload image, operating system, kernel, runtime, and other system layers. This allows organizations to apply a common trust model across mixed infrastructure rather than limiting continuous verification to confidential workloads.

Across these environments, Polaris can collect evidence relating to workload identity, software integrity, platform state, configuration, runtime behavior, and location. It continuously appraises that evidence against approved baselines and customer-defined policy, producing a current trust verdict indicating whether the workload remains in policy.

Where supported by the deployment architecture, Polaris can cryptographically establish where a workload is running, allowing location, infrastructure ownership, sovereignty, residency, and other placement requirements to become part of the trust policy.

Remote Attested TLS (RA-TLS) can bind runtime evidence to a live client connection, allowing the relying party to verify the compute environment associated with that connection.

Customer-controlled key management systems, hardware security modules (HSMs), vaults, identity systems, gateways, and other enforcement infrastructure can use the current trust verdict to grant, maintain, restrict or revoke access to protected resources.

Polaris does not need to inspect customer data or sit in the bulk data path. It provides a customer-controlled trust layer that continuously verifies live compute and turns verified runtime state into enforceable security decisions.
