ZoneZero® empowers organizations to adopt identity-centric security measures and incorporate additional multi-factor authentication (MFA) for various user groups, including those accessing networks, VPNs, and remote services like ZTNA, SDP, and PAM. This secondary MFA can be integrated with any application type—ranging from legacy systems and custom services to RDP, file shares, SSH, SFTP, web applications, and databases—without necessitating any redesign of the existing network, applications, or remote access strategies. It successfully establishes a clear distinction between data and control planes, applying application-level policies across all users while facilitating identity-based segmentation within the network. Furthermore, it allows the introduction of MFA for any VPN, service, or application, ensuring centralized management for enhanced transparency and effectiveness. The implementation process is designed to be seamless, allowing for quick deployment across organizational infrastructures. Ultimately, ZoneZero® offers a holistic approach to security that adapts to the modern needs of various user environments.
