S3 Zero Trust Access

S3 Zero Trust Access is a multi-tenant platform that redefines how access to object storage is controlled. Traditional S3 access models rely on public exposure, static IAM policies or network-based controls, and once access is granted it is rarely re-evaluated, creating blind spots and increasing risk.

S3 Zero Trust Access removes this implicit trust model by enforcing access through identity, context and policy instead of network location. Every request is evaluated before access is granted and continuously validated over time, eliminating static permissions and reducing attack surface.

Control Planes

The platform is built on two logical planes:

AdminNet manages tenant lifecycle, platform IAM with OWNER, ADMIN, VIEWER and SUPPORT roles, fine-grained permissions, SSO federation using OIDC and SAML 2.0, and centralized audit logging.

TenantNet provides an ABAC-based policy engine that enables precise control over:

• Buckets and prefixes
• Allowed operations
• Time windows
• IP and CIDR restrictions
• File extension policies
• Session TTL
• Device posture and anomaly thresholds

Security & Compliance

Compliance modes can be enforced per tenant, aligning access policies with frameworks such as ENS and NIS2. All sensitive credentials are stored using AES-256-GCM encryption.

The platform runs on Kubernetes with secure ingress and enables direct access to S3 without proxies or public exposure.

Road Ahead

Future capabilities include a desktop agent for identity-bound access and a gateway mode with real-time push-based revocation.

The result is a shift from static permissions to continuous, identity-driven control, enabling a true Zero Trust model for S3.
