Faction gives Small to Mid-Sized Manufacturers (SMMs) all of the benefits of Zero Trust Networking with none of the headaches to protect your critical production lines – and data too
THE CHALLENGE #
SMMs face unique cybersecurity challenges. Hackers are constantly evolving their tactics, and your valuable data, intellectual property, and production processes are at risk. #
Manufacturing is Rich with High Value TargetsAll manufacturers face unique cybersecurity challenges. Hackers are constantly evolving their tactics, and your valuable data, intellectual property, and production processes are at risk. With the explosive growth of smart manufacturing and IOT, a whole new level of productivity – and of risk – has been introduced. Critical devices that can shut down your business run across a complex range:
Smart devices – printers, NAS drives, robotics, drones, etc.
Dumb devices – sensors, cameras, control devices, etc.
Legacy computers – whether PC, servers or embedded in a machine that costs millions of dollars, these are often to expensive and critical to replace, and cannot be upgraded.
SMMs are in the Bullseye #
Faced with this complex environment, SMMs make a particularly inviting target. In fact, SMMs are 5 times more likely to be targeted by cyberattacks compared to larger enterprises and 43% of SMMs reported experiencing a cyberattack in 2023.
The primary reasons for this is that SMMs lack the understanding of the threat, and cannot afford the staff and tools to protect themselves.
- VPNs are vulnerable and prone to catastrophic breaches – and everyone knows it.
- SDNs and ZTNA are simply too difficult and expensive to deploy and support, and too hard to use without lots of IT support.
- Neither can protect the smart, dumb and legacy devices that populate SMMs workplaces and factory floors.
Faction set out to change this perilous state of affairs.
Faction Virtual Private Circuits Are the Ultimate Invisibility Cloak for Your Workplace and Production LineFaction’s groundbreaking decentralized technology takes a simple but innovative approach to render your network – and all the devices in your offices, production floor and remote workplaces – invisible to hackers. When deploy a Faction Virtual Private Circuit, like the old days of the T1, your network is completely inaccessible from the Internet. This makes it virtually impossible for attackers to even detect, let alone infiltrate your system.
Faction is Low Cost and Easy to Deploy and Use #
The even better news is that Faction Networks are far less expensive, far more flexible and far easier to manage than a T1 – or all the expensive hardware and software that is thrown at the unsolvable problem of keeping devices which are connected to the Internet safe!

Key Capabilities for SMMs #
Faction Networks address the three critical challenges of securing networking, data and devices for small to mid-size manufacturers (SMMs) with a single, low-cost solution that is easy to deploy and easy to use.
Virtual Private Circuit (VPC)
Take your production line, office, distributed remote users and devices needed to run it OFF of the Internet and into a VPC only visible and accessible to you.
Ransomware-proof Your Factory
Use Faction Pods to easily take smart machinery, sensors and any other critical devices OFF the Internent and into your VPC.
Ransomware-proof Your Data
Use Faction Drive to back-up your data at all times on cloud drives for which only YOU have the keys to access and decrypt.
Protect Your Communications
Utilize email applications and cloud storage platforms familiar to you, your staff, key vendors, and partners; however, ensure that all data is encrypted using your own encryption keys.
Made for a BYOD World
When the Faction app is installed on PC, laptops, tablets and smartphones, data and network access can be restricted with biometrics for the authorized user.
Zero Trust and Zero Exposure
Faction Networks eliminate all cloud-based attack vectors. NOBODY but the users and devices personally invited and authorized by YOU can see or access them.
