About
Circle is a data security platform built on a next-gen decentralized architecture. It offers two main components: Circle Access (for securing access) and Circle Data (for securing data). Circle Access provides decentralized and credential-free MFA, zero trust principles with continuous authentication, and customizable governance policies. Circle Data offers data encryption at rest and in motion, restricted data visibility, and compliance adherence. It offers REST APIs and Libraries/SDKs for easy integration, and works with SSO & IAM platforms. Circle has a free plan and various enterprise pricing options.

FAQs
How to Use Circle-of-Trust
To use circle-of-trust, you first need to configure your access policies to trigger zero-trust identity verification. This can be done by adding a policy that requires users to perform multi-factor authentication, or by using another mechanism that supports this feature. Once this is done, users will be prompted to verify their identity, when they attempt to access sensitive data or perform sensitive actions.Circle-of-trust can be used with any type of authentication system, including biometric systems that keeps humans in the loop. It is also compatible with a variety of different applications and services, making it easy to integrate into your existing infrastructure.
How does a Secure Capsule compare to an X.509 certificate
A cert, like X.509, binds an identity to a device; whereas a circle tie is linked to a mobile device via the application. The same cert (and, unless exceptional steps are taken, it must be used on every device generating or reading email for that email address) may be used on many devices.As a result, possession of the cert is sufficient to impersonate that email address since virtually all X.509 certs are password protected in order for this exploit to work.
What are the benefits of using Circle Access Desktop?
The benefits of using Circle Access Desktop include:Increased security;Improved convenience;Easy deployment;Reduced Help Desk Tickets and IT Overhead.
How does Circle Access Desktop work?
With Circle Access Desktop, your device - PC, laptop, etc. - is you. As long as you are on that device, you can be authenticated and log-in completely friction free.Circle Access Desktop works by leveraging cryptography to create something very powerful and useful: a Circle Secure Digital Capsule on each device - that has been authenticated and authorized. Anything can be stored in secure capsules, but in the case of credential-free authentication, we store. As a result, CAD secures two very strong factors:Something You Have & Something You Know.
What is the difference between Circle DLT versus Blockchain?
"Blockchain" and "Distributed Ledger Technology" (or "DLT") are too very big buzzwords today that are often misunderstood, or misused. Here is where Circle fits.Circle's internal, immutable DLT meets - and exceeds - all of these advantages, and was architected for similar objectives.The way it works in Circle is that each device generates a ledger - and append only file - of its actions. That's all it can do. Every device gets a copy of all the other devices files, and the complete ledger of all the actions between that group of devices is assembled in "run time". When the user is viewing/working. If there is an "edit" or "deletion" of something, an entry is made in the ledger on the device that does it. Then when displaying the edit or deletion is applied, but the original entry is unchanged. No device can change the entries of another, and if any change was made nefariously it can be detected.
What's the relationship between Circle Access Desktop and Circle Access Mobile?
Circle Access 360 integrates:Circle Access Mobile - your smartphone is your log-inCircle Access Desktop - your device is your log-inWith Circle Access 360, an authentication process is conducted that enables your smartphone (with Circle Access Mobile) to securely communicate and control the secure capsules on your devices created by Circle Access Desktop. This delivers many important benefits:Added convenience and flexibility for end users. They can select which model of log-in preferred.Even more security.
How Is Circle Access CCFA Different than Using an X.509 Certificate for Email?
The architecture and approach of Circle Access differs from a certificates in several significant ways. There are two common use cases for X.509 certificates:securing emails and;securing authentication for access to Web server.With Circle Access, on the other hand, three very strong factors are used to authenticate:Something you have: possession of the device.Something you are: a biometric scan .Something you do: perform a cryptographic validation with a unique encryption key bound to the device at the time of original authorization.
Does Circle Access protect my company from MFA Bombing?
Yes. "MFA Bombing" is a new type of exploit that defeats traditional MFA that many organizations believe to be quite strong. Circle Access, on the other hand, uses 3 very strong factors that are immune to cloud-based attacks of all kinds - phishing, pharming, spoofing, MFA prompt bombing, etc.
