Paradox was originally designed for use as a standard secure desktop within government classified systems. Architectural patterns and procedures exist to facilitate assurance processes. Government references may be provided as appropriate.

NCSC Guidance on PAWs include:

• Use PAWs for critical systems. If the impact of compromise is significant to your business, use PAWs. These should be devices that you trust.
• Device trust needs to be earned. Your initial stance should be to not trust devices until you have gained the assurance you need to do so. This is especially relevant where operations are outsourced to a 3rd party.

Paradox is designed to withstand the elevated threat relevant to PAWs, and and ensures device trust is explicit through the use of robust health measurements and remote attestation.

Paradox supports a range of enterprise VDI and VPN clients, as well as proven integration with High Assurance and High Grade crypto for secure remote access. Centralised patching, security and policy management simplifies through-life device management for remote users.

With built-in security controls, Paradox removes the need for additional 3rd party security software, creating a standard platform to facilitate supply chain security management where supplier access to IT systems is required. Device health measurements validate trust status for 3rd party access. 

Paradox can be installed to bootable USB devices, providing a highly portable platform for creating a secure working environment on an un-managed PC.
