About Tempered Networks
Tempered Networks is the pioneer of Identity-Defined Networking (IDN), unifying networking and security with a simplified approach that removes the constraints of IP networking. Our dynamic and encrypted IDN fabric protects every connected resource with a unique crypto identity, instead of a spoofable IP address, enabling you to cloak any IP-enabled endpoint, machine or network -- with no modifications. For the first time, any network and connected resource can be orchestrated, cloaked, and encrypted from the start, in real-time. Device-based trust is flexible and portable and extends from any external and public cloud network to internal network hosts and clients. Any IP resource can now be instantly provisioned or moved, making your network as adaptable as software, more secure, and simpler to manage. For more information, visit www.temperednetworks.com.
