Portnox, a leading provider of native cloud access control solutions, has announced the launch of its new service, ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access), designed to radically change how organizations secure remote access to their web applications. In a context where hybrid work is the norm and unmanaged devices proliferate, adopting zero-trust models becomes essential.
What sets this new Portnox offering apart is its agentless, clientless, and passwordless approach. This cloud-native solution provides immediate, secure access to any internal web application, eliminating the traditional issues of performance, complexity, and maintenance associated with VPNs or legacy ZTNA solutions.
An innovative approach to secure remote access
Portnox ZTNA was built from the ground up to offer a smooth experience for both users and IT teams. With a unidirectional secure tunnel and the removal of complex network or firewall configurations, companies can deploy this solution in minutes with minimal impact on their infrastructure.
Highlighted features include:
| Functionality | Description |
|---|---|
| Agentless and clientless | Browser-based access, no device installs required |
| Passwordless authentication | Uses tokens and secure protocols instead of passwords |
| Role and location-based control | Granular access based on user profile and location |
| Continuous device assessment | Checks security status before granting access |
| Automatic remediation | Blocks or isolates non-compliant devices |
| Web application access | Compatible with any browser-based app |
| No network impact | No need to change user network or modify the corporate firewall |
“Portnox’s new ZTNA redefines secure remote access,” said Denny LeCompte, CEO. “We’ve removed barriers that made remote access problematic: no passwords, no slow VPNs, and no headaches for IT. Because the best security is the one you don’t notice.”
Accessible and scalable: free version for everyone
As part of the launch, Portnox offers a free version of its ZTNA solution that allows unlimited users to connect to unlimited web applications. The only requirement is installing AgentP, a lightweight tool to assess device health.
Organizations seeking enterprise support and access to advanced future features can choose paid plans with dedicated technical assistance and expanded capabilities.
A modern alternative to VPNs
Portnox’s model presents a modern and more secure alternative to traditional virtual private networks (VPNs), which often introduce latency, security gaps, and operational complexities.
Who benefits?
- End-users: Quickly and seamlessly access their work tools without configurations or passwords.
- IT departments: Gain greater control, traceability, and compliance with identity and device policies.
- Regulated organizations: Such as those in healthcare, banking, education, or technology, where security and efficiency are critical.
An ambitious roadmap
While the current launch focuses on web applications, Portnox has confirmed that future versions will support legacy applications without web interfaces, extending the ZTNA model to any corporate resource.
This new service is fully integrated within the Portnox Unified Access Control Platform, which also includes RADIUS authentication, Network Access Control (NAC), and TACACS+ management, all delivered as a native cloud solution.
With this, Portnox addresses pressing cybersecurity challenges: exponential growth of connected devices, evolving attack sophistication, and the drive to implement frictionless Zero Trust policies from anywhere at any time.
