Secure Remote Access with a Fast, Simple VPN Alternative
Increase user productivity with a modern zero trust architecture.
Empower your hybrid workforce and reduce business risk with zero trust
Don't let your legacy virtual private network (VPN) slow your business down. Transform your modern, distributed environment with zero trust network access (ZTNA) that's secure, fast, and easy to deploy.
The Problem
VPNs leave you exposed to ransomware, DDoS, and other cyberattacks
Legacy hardware and cloud-based VPN solutions were built for traditional perimeter-based networks. In the age of the cloud and remote work—when your users need easy, safe access to resources from anywhere—VPNs are:
Insecure
VPNs put users directly on your network, free to move laterally, elevating your risk of a data breach.
Slow
Resource-heavy clients, unstable connections, and data center backhauling create poor user experiences.
Complex
Hardware and routing table management, troubleshooting, and patching increase IT and administrative burden.
VPNs are not zero trust by design
Attackers regularly discover and exploit critical vulnerabilities in VPN services. Their network-centric, “hub and spoke” design puts all user and device traffic on your network, granting them inherent trust.

FAQ
Zero trust network access (ZTNA) enables secure access to internal apps for remote users. Also called software-defined perimeter (SDP), ZTNA grants access on a need-to-know, least-privileged basis, never by default. Users can access private apps without accessing the network or exposing the apps to the internet. Learn more.
While VPNs connect users to a network, ZTNA creates secure segments of one between individual devices and apps. This way, only authorized users have access to specific private applications, and no network access—meaning no lateral movement. Instead of physical or virtual appliances, ZTNA uses software to connect apps and users to the cloud. Learn more.
After they gain access to a network, attackers use lateral movement to access other resources on the network. Using stolen credentials or other methods of privilege escalation, they move through the network to locate sensitive data. With their activities disguised as permitted network traffic, attackers can avoid detection and prolong their attacks. Learn more.
