Insights, technical deep-dives, and industry perspectives on ephemeral endpoint architecture, zero trust security, and the future of endpoint management.

Dr. Zero Trust on Why Stateful Endpoints Are Just Launch Points for Adversaries
Dr. Chase Cunningham breaks down why persistence is the enemy, how session-based security changes the game, and why the ephemeral model wins. From his presentation at Edge Computing Expo 2026.
Hardened Isn't Stateless: Why OS Hardening Will Never Match Stateless Endpoint Architecture
The architectural difference between locking the operating system down and removing it entirely. Hardened endpoints manage risk. Stateless endpoints eliminate it.
Rethinking Endpoint Architecture: Moving Beyond Operating Systems
Operating systems have been the default for endpoints for decades. But what if the architecture itself was the vulnerability? Explore how ephemeral execution transforms endpoint security.
What Zero Trust Really Means at the Endpoint Level
Zero trust has become an overused buzzword. We break down what it actually means when applied to endpoint architecture and why most solutions fall short.
Ephemeral vs. Persistent Endpoints: A Security Comparison
We compare the security implications of traditional persistent endpoints with ephemeral, stateless architectures. The results may surprise you.
Lessons from the CrowdStrike Outage: Why Architecture Matters
The global CrowdStrike outage exposed fundamental vulnerabilities in how we think about endpoint security. Here's what we learned and how ephemeral architecture changes the equation.
Substrate-as-a-Service: A New Model for Endpoint Delivery
Traditional endpoint management is broken. We introduce Substrate-as-a-Service as a new operational model that treats endpoints as temporary execution environments.
Kiosk Security Reimagined: Beyond Lockdown Mode
Kiosks and self-service terminals face unique security challenges. We explore how ephemeral endpoint architecture provides a fundamentally different approach to kiosk security.
