Government organizations operate under heightened threat conditions. Nation-state attackers specifically target government networks for intelligence gathering, and the sophistication of these attacks—including zero-day exploits and custom malware—exceeds what commercial organizations typically face. Defense contractors and critical infrastructure operators face similar threat profiles.

Many government environments include air-gapped networks where internet connectivity is prohibited for security reasons. These networks still need to receive files from external sources—intelligence reports, vendor documentation, inter-agency communications—creating a security challenge that detection-based tools cannot address (they require connectivity for signature updates and cloud analysis).

klearis addresses these requirements with air-gapped deployment that operate entirely offline. Files are sanitized at the network boundary before entering the protected environment. Cross-domain solutions integrate klearis for file sanitization between networks at different classification levels.
