A zero-trust identity fabric that continuously attests millions of IoT devices across the power grid and water network.

NquiringMinds deployed a distributed device-trust fabric across a national operator’s grid and water infrastructure, replacing perimeter assumptions with continuous, hardware-rooted attestation for every connected device.
