Zero Trust
for every request.
Celeris issues verifiable workload identities, enforces mTLS by default, and evaluates authorization policies continuously—guided end-to-end by Celeris AI.
Zero Trust Model
Three primitives. One security posture.
Identity, policy, and enforcement—working together to secure every request.
Every workload is known.
SPIFFE-style X.509 identities—short-lived and rotated.
Every request is evaluated.
Authorization policies decide access in real time.
Every boundary is enforced.
mTLS + segmentation + JIT approvals.
You get least privilege by default—without slowing developers down.
Identity Layer
Workload identity you can prove.

Authorization Layer
Authorization that scales with your system.
Define exactly who can access what—down to the HTTP method, path, and request conditions.
