TrustMeter is described as a tool that “discovers and visualizes excessive network access” and measures exposure within an organization’s network environment. It operates by scanning a network and collecting information about assets, access paths, and identity data to produce a report on network exposure and potential attack paths. The output is a structured report that provides visibility into network topology and identifies areas of excessive access that may increase risk.

Key Features & Functions include:

Network Access Discovery and Visualization
Scans networks to identify and map excessive access relationships between assets.
Provides a visual representation of how systems are connected and what can be reached from different entry points.

Exposure Measurement and Reporting
Generates a TrustMeter report detailing overall network exposure levels and potential attack vectors.
Includes insights into accessible assets, network topology, and areas of elevated risk.

Multi-Source Data Collection
Pulls identity and infrastructure data from sources such as Active Directory and cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
Combines this data with scan results to provide a consolidated view of network access.

Asset Identification and Classification
Discovers managed and unmanaged assets across the network and categorizes them (e.g., clients, servers, cloud hosts).
Helps organizations understand what systems exist and how they are exposed.

Scenario-Based Network Scanning
Supports scanning from different vantage points, such as VPN-connected machines, internal hosts, or data center environments.
Enables analysis of risks associated with remote access, internal compromise, or server exposure scenarios.

Local Data Processing and Privacy Design
All collected data remains on the local machine running the tool and is not uploaded externally.
This design supports environments with strict data handling requirements.
