Secure every session. Protect every tenant. Prove it to every auditor.
Privileged access to your infrastructure is the most valuable target in your environment — and the hardest to defend with conventional tools.
A single compromised vendor credential provides attackers with legitimate session access to infrastructure supporting hundreds of tenants. MFA confirms the login — it cannot verify what happens inside the session.
Attackers move laterally across tenant boundaries using the same tools that legitimate administrators use. Network segmentation offers no defence against authenticated sessions that already have permission to cross boundaries.
Enterprise tenants demand verifiable proof that privileged access to their environment is beyond reproach. Keystrike produces tamper-evident session records for every privileged action.
Attackers move laterally across tenant boundaries using the same remote protocols and management tools that administrators use every day. These attack paths bypass MFA, PAM, and EDR because those tools stop evaluating after the login event — leaving the session itself unprotected.
On August 18, 2023, attackers breached the internal administration systems of Danish cloud hosting providers CloudNordic and AzeroCloud. Using privileged access to the shared management infrastructure, they propagated ransomware across every tenant environment on both platforms. The attack encrypted all production servers, all backup systems, and all customer data — websites, email, documents, and databases for hundreds of businesses were destroyed simultaneously. Neither provider could recover. Both effectively ceased operations. Hundreds of businesses lost everything overnight — not because they were individually targeted, but because their hosting provider's privileged sessions were unprotected.
The catastrophic damage was not the initial foothold — it was what happened next. Attackers used legitimate management tools and admin credentials to issue commands across every tenant from privileged sessions on the shared infrastructure. With Keystrike deployed on the management layer, every command entering a tenant system would require cryptographic attestation proving it originated from verified physical human input on an approved device. The ransomware deployment commands — automated, scripted, and originating from the attacker's tooling rather than a human administrator's keyboard — would have failed attestation and been blocked at the session boundary. The blast radius would have been contained to the initially compromised admin session instead of destroying the entire platform.

Firewalls, VPNs, and MFA protect the perimeter and verify identity at login — but go silent once a session begins. PAM solutions vault credentials but cannot govern what happens after the vault is opened. SIEM platforms generate alerts after damage is done. EDR detects malware but is blind to valid credential theft and session misuse. Keystrike fills this gap by cryptographically attesting every command inside the session — verifying that each action originates from a verified human on an approved device, in real time.
The technologies listed above — MFA, PAM, EDR, and SIEM — each protect a specific layer of the access lifecycle, but none of them govern what happens inside the active session after login. MFA confirms identity once. PAM vaults and rotates credentials. EDR watches for known malware patterns. SIEM aggregates logs after the fact. Keystrike is the only technology in this stack that provides continuous, real-time governance inside the session itself — cryptographically verifying that every command originates from a verified human, and blocking anything that doesn't.
Every privileged session produces continuous, tamper-evident audit records that satisfy data center operator regulatory and contractual requirements as a direct output of governance — not as a separate compliance process.
Keystrike supports compliance with NIS2, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type 2, PCI-DSS, DORA, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Cyber Essentials, and applicable data protection regulations — through continuous authentication, policy-driven access controls, and auditable session records for every remote action across every system in your estate.
Deterministic enforcement of session policy across every tenant boundary, every vendor session, and every management platform. Commands that fail attestation are blocked — not flagged. Zero false positives. Zero alert fatigue.

Every privileged session produces tamper-evident records proving that every command originated from verified human input on an approved device. NIS2, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS requirements are satisfied as a direct output of governance — not a quarterly retrofit.
Keystrike maps every remote protocol across your entire infrastructure estate — RDP, SSH, PowerShell Remoting, WinRM, WMI, SMB, and more — showing which sessions are governed and where policy gaps remain. Full visibility across every tenant environment.
Deterministic Session Enforcement — Not Probabilistic DetectionKeystrike is a privileged session governance platform that uses patent-pending cryptographic attestation to verify that every command inside a remote session originates from a verified human on an approved device. A lightweight workstation agent recognizes legitimate physical keystrokes and mouse activity, then submits cryptographic proof to the central Keystrike service. On the destination server, a second agent — the Server-Side Terminator — withholds all input until it receives valid attestation. Attested commands are processed
Keystrike is a privileged session governance platform that uses patent-pending cryptographic attestation to verify that every command inside a remote session originates from a verified human on an approved device. A lightweight workstation agent recognizes legitimate physical keystrokes and mouse activity, then submits cryptographic proof to the central Keystrike service. On the destination server, a second agent — the Server-Side Terminator — withholds all input until it receives valid attestation. Attested commands are processed normally; unattested input from scripts, injected commands, or compromised sessions is blocked in real time. Unlike PAM, which stops at credential vaulting, and MFA, which stops at login, Keystrike operates continuously inside the active session — providing deterministic enforcement rather than probabilistic detection.
A lightweight agent on the operator's or vendor's device recognises legitimate physical keystrokes and mouse clicks, and submits cryptographic attestations confirming their legitimacy to the central Keystrike service.
A second lightweight agent on the destination server withholds all input until it receives proof of legitimacy. Attested input is processed. Unattested input — from scripts, injected commands, or compromised sessions — is blocked and an alert is generated in real time.
The Keystrike SEE module maps all remote protocols across your entire infrastructure estate — RDP, SSH, PowerShell Remoting, WinRM, WMI, SMB, and more — surfacing which sessions are governed and where policy gaps remain across every tenant environment.
Credential abuse, vendor session compromise, and cross-tenant lateral movement all exploit the same blind spot: the gap between access granted and access governed. Keystrike makes every privileged session across your infrastructure visible, verifiable, and policy-controlled — protecting your operations and giving you a differentiated offering to bring to enterprise tenants.
Keystrike validates every command that traverses tenant environment boundaries using cryptographic attestation of physical human input. It blocks session inheritance, credential replay, and RDP hijacks before lateral movement can propagate to downstream tenants — at the command level, not the network level.
Keystrike cryptographically attests every command from vendor and third-party sessions to physical human input on an approved device. If a vendor session is hijacked or a command originates from an unattested source, Keystrike blocks the command, isolates the session, and triggers automated response before the attacker can reach tenant systems.
Keystrike supports compliance with NIS2, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type 2, PCI-DSS, DORA, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Cyber Essentials, and applicable data protection regulations — through continuous authentication, policy-driven access controls, and tamper-evident audit records for every privileged session.
MFA verifies identity at login but cannot verify what happens inside a session after access is granted. PAM vaults credentials and controls checkout but goes blind once the session is open. SIEM detects anomalies after the fact. None of these tools provide continuous governance of actions inside an active privileged session. Keystrike closes this post-authentication gap with cryptographic attestation of every command.
Keystrike deploys in approximately 20 minutes per managed environment. It requires no lengthy professional services engagement, no complex integration project, and integrates with existing MFA, PAM, and SIEM infrastructure with no rip-and-replace.
Post-authentication session security governs what happens inside a privileged session after the user has been authenticated. While MFA verifies identity at login and PAM controls credential checkout, neither evaluates commands that occur once the session is active. Post-authentication session security closes this gap by continuously validating that every action originates from a verified human on an approved device.
PAM (Privileged Access Management) controls who can access privileged credentials and manages credential checkout. Keystrike operates inside the active session after PAM has done its job — cryptographically verifying that every command originates from a verified human and blocking any unattested input in real time. PAM secures the vault; Keystrike governs every action inside the session. They are complementary — Keystrike deploys alongside existing PAM with no changes to the PAM configuration.
The Governance Gap is the unprotected space between when a user is authenticated (by MFA, PAM, or SSO) and what they actually do inside the session. In data center environments — where a single privileged session can reach hundreds of tenant systems — this gap is the attack surface that credential theft, session hijacking, and cross-tenant lateral movement exploit. Keystrike closes the Governance Gap by governing every command inside the live session in real time.
No. Keystrike completes your existing security stack — it does not replace any component. PAM continues to vault credentials and control checkout. SIEM continues to aggregate logs and generate alerts. Keystrike adds the missing layer: continuous governance inside the live privileged session. It deploys alongside your existing infrastructure in approximately 20 minutes per environment with no configuration changes to PAM or SIEM.
