# Necsyn

*/Startups/Necsyn*

## Startup Overview

This network execution engine synthesizes and enforces deterministic routing paths across cloud environments. Instead of relying on reactive rule sets, it ingests infrastructure topologies to generate statically verifiable communication channels. Every packet traversing the network is constrained to a pre-calculated route, eliminating unauthorized lateral movement at the foundational layer.

Security and platform teams struggle with the sprawling complexity of IP-based access controls, where manual iptables configurations and legacy firewall rules inevitably drift to create hidden vulnerabilities. As infrastructure scales, managing these disparate boundaries becomes a fragile exercise. This system replaces fractured IP-bound policies with a unified, graph-driven architecture, mapping exactly how services interact before a single connection is initiated.

While traditional microsegmentation tools and platforms like Illumio enforce policies based on dynamic IP lists, this system operates entirely on graph-driven logic that is strictly statically verifiable. By compiling the intended network state into a rigid graph of authorized execution paths, it provides mathematical proof of network isolation. Infrastructure teams deploy configurations knowing exactly which endpoints can communicate, completely bypassing the limitations of IP-centric security.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting zero unauthorized lateral communication paths in post-deployment audits for cloud-native DevOps teams.
- Aiming to reduce network policy configuration time from days of manual iptables scripting to minutes of graph synthesis.
- Designed to help mid-market financial services pass isolated environment compliance checks on the first audit.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Cluster Operator · Price: ~$200–$500/mo · Inclusions: Synthesis and static verification for up to 500 workloads in a single orchestration environment.
- Name: Production Fabric · Price: ~$1,200–$2,500/mo · Inclusions: Up to 5,000 workloads across multi-cloud environments, automated graph-driven policy synthesis, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
- Name: Enterprise Backbone · Price: enterprise: ~$20k–$45k/yr · Inclusions: Unlimited nodes, hybrid infrastructure support, legacy network translation layers, and custom enforcement orchestration.
**Guarantee**: We guarantee strict deterministic network behavior: if a statically verified network path synthesized by Necsyn allows an unauthorized lateral connection during an audit, we will refund your current month's subscription.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Our existing firewalls and microsegmentation tools already block unauthorized traffic. Rebuttal: Traditional tools rely on reactive IP-bound rules that drift as workloads scale; Necsyn mathematically verifies execution paths before traffic flows.
- Objection: Will running this add latency to our production network? Rebuttal: Necsyn's verification is static and occurs entirely at the control plane, meaning it adds zero overhead to your data plane execution.
- Objection: Does this require installing custom software agents on every virtual machine? Rebuttal: Necsyn is designed to integrate directly at the orchestration layer, managing your existing enforcement points without requiring heavy custom agents on the workloads.
- Objection: Our legacy applications require hardcoded IP addresses. Rebuttal: Necsyn is built to map deterministic graph policies onto existing IP translation layers so you do not have to rewrite legacy applications.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 30-day single-cluster pilot to prove that static verification detects policy conflicts at the control plane before deployment, resulting in zero lateral movement violations.
- A 60-day multi-cloud integration test aiming to map existing orchestration enforcement points to automated graph policies without adding data plane latency.
**Target Metrics**:
- target: 0 unauthorized lateral communication paths found during post-deployment audits
- aim: 90 percent reduction in network policy configuration time
- target: 100 percent first-pass success rate on isolated environment compliance audits
- target: 0 milliseconds of added latency to production data plane execution
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-market financial services DevOps team transitions from manual IP-bound rule updates to deterministic graph-driven policy synthesis, passing isolated environment compliance checks on the first audit.
- An enterprise cloud architecture group managing multi-cloud infrastructure eliminates network policy drift by integrating static verification directly into their CI/CD pipeline before traffic flows.
- A scaling SaaS provider deploying 5,000 workloads reduces their network configuration lifecycle from multi-day manual iptables scripting to minute-level automated synthesis without adding custom agents.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Chief Information Security Officer: Expresses confidence that mathematically verified execution paths eliminate the reactive guesswork of traditional microsegmentation tools.
- Lead DevOps Engineer: Highlights the operational relief of managing zero heavy custom agents because the platform integrates directly at the orchestration layer.
- Cloud Infrastructure Architect: Praises the platform's ability to map deterministic graph policies onto legacy network translation layers without requiring application rewrites.
