What is Hardware-Level Isolation?
Definition
Hardware-level isolation uses physical processor features — rather than software alone — to separate workloads from each other and from the host system. This provides a stronger security boundary than traditional virtualization or containerization because the isolation is enforced by the silicon itself.
Why It Matters
Engram's security model relies on hardware-level isolation to guarantee that your data cannot be accessed by other tenants, the hosting provider, or even Engram's own infrastructure team.
