Secure Gateway

Secure gateway refers to a barrier or checkpoint that keeps unauthorized traffic from entering an organization's network.

When it comes to secure gateway, the best perimeter security is one that relies on zero-trust. In comparison to VPN access, zero-trust security access is a holistic approach that allows employees, partners, contractors, and customers to enter the network through user authentication, device authentication, and trust rules.

Secure Gateway is designed to give the user the power to connect many different applications, and across multiple protocols and security configurations, without having to compromise or navigate the security policies of various networks.

Secure gateways provide 3 main benefits: 1) removes a lot of the headache and bureaucracy surrounding different security policies in multiple networks, 2) allows granting access to specific resources within minutes, with the opposite being true as well – it can remove access within minutes, and 3) can enforce new policies or revoke existing ones, with zero network down time.

Creating a safe gateway for your network connects users, applications, and data safely. It ensures the right access to the right user/application through automatic, or manual, rules, and alerts your team when an anomaly arises.

The combined benefits range from less IT management time, to quicker access removal, to reduce changes of potential breaches and noncompliance risks.
