Your Mission Can’t Wait on PPSM
Replace spreadsheets, email, and disconnected approvals with one clear system that keeps every PPSM request moving.

Manual PPSM work slows the mission
Federal teams still manage ports, protocols, services, and approvals across spreadsheets, email threads, static diagrams, and disconnected tickets. That leaves three groups working from different records:
When the request, approval, diagram, and change history do not stay together, teams spend time reconciling records instead of moving approved connectivity forward.
One system for PPSM requests and approvals
Define and approve how data moves.
Connectivity designers define the application connections they need, including endpoints, IP addresses, ports, protocols, and services. Pylon formalizes that intent as a change request and routes it through the required PPSM approvals.
Document connections and maintain device inventory.
Pylon generates interactive diagrams from declared application connections, showing what is intended to communicate and the direction of each data flow. It can also ingest ACAS scan data to enrich device and software inventory with operating system, model, serial number, and installed software details.
Every request, approval, and change recorded.
Pylon maintains a chain of custody from the original connectivity request through review, approval, and handoff. Every decision is logged automatically, so teams can see who approved what, when, and why without reconstructing the history later.
Reuse approved connectivity designs.
Turn recurring connectivity requirements into reusable, approved templates. Centrally managed connections remain locked while each site supplies its local endpoints, reducing repeated work and preserving traceability across deployments.
Production web tier
From 30 Days to 30 Minutes
A large federal agency relied on spreadsheets and email threads to manage PPSM requests, approvals, and supporting documentation. Requests took 30 days to process and required significant labor to maintain.
Pylon brought the request data, approval workflow, approved design, and change history into one system. Processing time dropped from 30 days to 30 minutes, saving $25 million in labor costs.
Bring your PPSM process
into one system.
Give program, cybersecurity, and network teams one record for connectivity requests, approved data flows, diagrams, approvals, and change history.
FAQs
How is Pylon different from continuous monitoring?
Continuous monitoring tools observe activity in the deployed environment. Pylon records the connectivity that has been requested and approved, manages the PPSM approval workflow, and preserves the decision history. It does not replace continuous monitoring, vulnerability scanning, or firewall management tools. Pylon can ingest ACAS scan data to enrich device and software inventory.
Is Pylon only for government organizations?
Pylon is built for public-sector organizations, with a primary focus on Department of Defense teams managing PPSM requirements and mission network connectivity.
What deployment options does Pylon support?
Pylon supports cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments. It is designed to operate in the environments mission-critical organizations require.
