XFA

XFA is user-driven device security for fast-growing companies that want strong IT security without building an IT team. It checks every computer and phone at sign-in, whether company-owned, personal (BYOD) or a contractor's laptop, and guides people to fix issues themselves. XFA plugs into Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, Ping Identity or Keycloak in about 15 minutes, with no devices to enroll and no MDM to roll out. People install the XFA app at their first sign-in, without admin rights. XFA verifies OS updates, disk encryption, screen lock, firewall, antimalware, browser version and more, and admins choose per policy whether to warn or block insecure devices. It discovers devices from sign-in logs, sends alerts by email, Slack or Teams, and exports audit evidence to Vanta, Drata, TrustCloud and Thoropass. XFA takes no control of the device and never collects files, messages or browsing history. Free plan available.

ZTXGate

CoreZT

ZTXGate is an identity-centric Zero Trust Network Access platform for securing access to private applications and infrastructure. Instead of providing broad network access, ZTXGate lets organizations authorize users to defined resources according to identity, device, posture, time, and policy. Access can be standing, temporary, or request-and-approve, with continuous policy enforcement helping respond when relevant conditions change. ZTXGate can be operated by the customer or an MSP and deployed on-premises, in public cloud infrastructure, across hybrid environments, or in fully air-gapped networks. Core access operation does not require a mandatory CoreZT-hosted cloud control plane. The platform supports OIDC and SCIM identity integration, device-posture signals from Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne and Jamf, SIEM integration, clientless HTTP/HTTPS access, and phishing-resistant biometric authentication through integrated ZTXBAS.

Twingate

The way we work has changed. People now work from anywhere, not just from an office. Applications are based in the cloud, not just on-premise. And the company network perimeter is now spread across the internet. Using a traditional, network-centric VPN for remote access is not only outdated and difficult to maintain, but exposes businesses to security breaches. VPN infrastructure is costly and time-consuming to procure, deploy, and maintain. Inability to secure access at the app level means hacks can expose whole networks. Twingate enables organizations to rapidly implement a modern Zero Trust network that is more secure and maintainable than VPNs. Delivered as a cloud-based service, Twingate empowers IT teams to easily configure a software-defined perimeter without changing infrastructure, and centrally manage user access to internal apps, whether they are on-prem or in the cloud.

DxOdyssey

DH2i

DxOdyssey is lightweight software built on patented technology that enables you to create highly available application-level micro-tunnels across any mix of locations and platforms. And it does so more easily, more securely, and more discreetly than any other solution on the market. Using DxOdyssey puts you on a path to zero trust security and helps networking and security admins secure multi-site & multi-cloud operations. The network perimeter has evolved. And DxOdyssey’s unVPN technology is designed with this in mind. Old VPN and direct link approaches are cumbersome to maintain and open up the entire network to lateral movement. DxOdyssey takes a more secure approach, giving users app-level access rather than network-level access, reducing attack surface. And it does all of this with the most secure and performant approach to create a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) to grant connectivity to distributed apps and clients running across multiple sites, clouds, and domains.

Avast Secure Private Access

Avast

Users dislike VPNs due to the constant login requirements every time application access is needed. They grow frustrated with its latency when working remotely and often attempt to bypass security controls altogether to get work done. A VPN extends the corporate network to the remote user, broadening the attack surface and increasing breach risk. If a remote employee’s device becomes infected with malware, it can infect the whole network when the user VPNs in. A full VPN gateway appliance stack is expensive and requires significant resources to manage. It becomes even costlier as latency and capacity limitations require an organization to replicate gateway stacks at each data center.
