Forcepoint ZTNA · Austin, Texas, USA
What it is
Forcepoint ZTNA provides controlled access to private applications from managed and unmanaged devices. Its agentless and agent-based approaches reach internal applications without requiring a VPN service on the user’s device. Administrators can base access on user or group, device type or operating system, management status, and location. Agent-based access covers private web applications and non-web TCP applications through SmartEdge Agent. Agentless access extends controls to BYOD and contractor devices. Forcepoint describes proxying private-app traffic and applying inline data-loss-prevention controls to help prevent leakage and harmful uploads or downloads. The product information cites more than 190 predefined DLP policies and malware scanning for private web apps. Deployment includes a connector in the network hosting internal apps. Agent-based use requires SmartEdge Agent 1.6.1 or newer and Windows 10 or newer. Pricing is by request.
