Byos Secure Embedded Edge: Hardware SOM providing OS-independent microsegmentation for edge devices. built by Byos. headquartered in Canada. Core capabilities include Retransmission Device (RTD): Decouples network connection from the host OS, preventing network-based attacks from reaching the system or applications, Asset Cloaking: Makes the connected device invisible to other devices on the local network, preventing unwanted discovery or probing, Captive Portal Protection: Enhanced security for devices connecting to public captive portal networks (e.g., airport or hotel Wi-Fi)..
HOPZERO Sphere of Trust: Network containment tool using TTL/hop limits to restrict data travel distance. built by HOPZERO. headquartered in United States. Core capabilities include TTL-based packet lifetime containment — restricts how far packets travel by setting and enforcing TTL values, Network geo-fencing — prevents data from leaving defined network regions or cloud zones, Application tethering — confines applications to only their approved network resources..
Both serve the Network Access Control market but differ in approach, feature depth, and target audience.
