WinMagic Introduces Endpoint Identity Architecture Aligned with CISA OT Guidance

May 19, 2026
WinMagic has announced a transport layer identity architecture designed to meet new CISA guidance for Zero Trust in operational technology environments. The system uses endpoint-based verification to maintain continuous identity assurance even in disconnected or air-gapped systems.

WinMagic announced in a press release a new transport layer identity architecture intended to align with recent Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) guidance on applying Zero Trust principles to operational technology. The company’s approach focuses on continuous, hardware-bound identity verification at the endpoint level.

The system uses MagicEndpoint, Live Key, and Live Identity in Transaction (LIT) to maintain identity assurance beyond login. These components enable identity to be verified locally through TPM-bound cryptographic keys, allowing operations to continue securely even when disconnected from networks or operating in air-gapped conditions.

WinMagic’s design supports continuous verification, operational resilience, and unified protection for legacy systems. It extends Zero Trust to environments such as energy grids and manufacturing facilities where uninterrupted access is essential. The company stated that organizations can integrate this model with existing identity systems like Okta, Azure AD, and SAML platforms while maintaining continuous endpoint-level identity assurance.
