How Ethen keeps work contained

How Ethen separates work, applies rules, handles secrets and takes security reports.

How Ethen Platform is designed to control access, apply policy, keep humans in charge of consequential actions, isolate computer use and handle secrets, and what we do not claim.

Security is owned by Ethen Platform, with Sentinel as its policy layer.

Security layersIllustration
  • Tested in development

Illustration of the intended design, not a capture. Rings run from Access (outermost) to Records (centre); line style shows the evidence level of each layer.

The Platform console is gated, and Gateway access uses keys.

Implemented in development, level 2 of 4
