Zero Trust Access

-Software-defined perimeter

Implement a modern, software-defined perimeter to ensure security of cloud and SaaS applications.

Allow employees and partners to access corporate apps and cloud workloads without creating additional attack surfaces.

+RBAC and ABAC policy engine

Enable your organization to create robust access policies and gain visibility into who has access, to what and from where. Set role and attribute-based controls to grant contextual access to trusted users and devices, gain total visibility into access activities, and mitigate risks.

+Phishing protection and threat blocking at the device level
