Controls access to automation features based on user roles and permissions.

Monitors network performance and triggers alerts for anomalies.

Simplifies user authentication across multiple services while maintaining security.

Ensures that users are verified through multiple credentials before access is granted, reducing the risk of compromised accounts.

Grants access based on the user’s role within the organization, adhering to the principle of least privilege.

Integrates with external identity providers to manage user identities across different platforms and services.

Mandatory encryption of data both at rest and in transit protects against unauthorized access.

Continuous monitoring and real-time response capabilities with EDR help detect and mitigate threats on endpoint devices.

Verifies the security status of a device before granting access to network resources, ensuring that only compliant devices can connect.

Divides the network into isolated segments to prevent lateral movement by attackers, ensuring that if one segment is compromised, others remain secure.

Replaces traditional VPNs by enforcing granular, context-aware access to applications based on user identity, device, and other factors.

Detect and prevent unauthorized access or transfer of sensitive data.

Data classification automatically categorizes data based on its sensitivity, allowing for appropriate security measures to be applied

API support ensures that the zero trust platform can integrate seamlessly with other security tools and existing infrastructure

Provides the ability to enforce security policies at the application layer, ensuring that access to specific applications is tightly controlled.

ensures that only authorized users can access critical applications, protecting against unauthorized entry points

UEBA identifies unusual behavior that may indicate a security threat, enabling proactive threat managemen

Provides real-time visibility into all network traffic, user activities, and data flows to detect anomalies

allows for automatic application of security policies based on predefined criteria, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring consistent enforcement

Regulatory compliance assists organizations in adhering to industry-specific regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

This works across different environments, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid setups, ensuring comprehensive security coverage

This ensures that security policies are consistently applied across all users, devices, and application

Detailed reports that provide insights into security events help organizations maintain compliance and optimize their security posture
