Appgate Overview
Appgate brings together a comprehensive suite of security and analytics products and services designed for cloud and hybrid environments. These include Appgate SDP, the industry’s leading universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, capable of securing any application, on any platform, in any location; Appgate Fraud Protection, with its suite of Online Brand Protection and Adaptive Authentication capabilities, and Appgate Threat Advisory Services, which provides a range of offense-oriented software and adversary simulation services.
Zero Trust starts with secure access. Appgate SDP is a leading Zero Trust Network Access solution that simplifies and strengthens access controls for all users, devices and workloads. By thwarting complex threats, reducing costs, and boosting operational efficiency, Appgate deliver secure access for complex and hybrid enterprises. Appgate SDP complies with and extends beyond the three core principles of the Cloud Security Alliance’s SDP specification to deliver the industry’s only identity-centric, network-enforced perimeter. Below is a list of the key benefits of Appgate SDP.
Strengthen Security
With Appgate SDP ports, workloads and applications are invisible unless authenticated and authorised to access, and you can verify identities with access permissions that are conditional and based on user context such as role, date, time, location and device posture. Dynamically adjust user entitlements as the context surrounding the identity changes in real time, and prevent lateral movement with surgical micro-segmentation that eliminates visibility and access to unauthorised resources.
Reduce Complexity
Reduce complexity with a single framework for all users, devices, networks and infrastructure, as well as flexible options for user access (client or browser-based) and hosting (self-managed or as a service). Consistent experience and configuration across hybrid IT reduces administrative burden, and automated access with metadata and context driven policies allow access entitlements to dynamically adapt to environment. Lastly, simplify compliance with micro-segmentation and comprehensive access logs.
Improve Experience
Improved experience with flexible user options as you can choose from client or browser-based access. Multi-tunnelling connects users directly to all approved cloud, SaaS and on-prem resources simultaneously and boosts productivity with a seamless and consistent user experience with simple onboarding. Ultra-high performance with 93% throughput efficiency and less than 1ms latency; reduce tools with a unified solution for trusted access, remote and on-premises.
Streamline Automation
With Appgate SDP you can leverage data from Identity & Directory Systems and environmental meta-data to dynamically create or extend policies and entitlements and control, build and manage infrastructure-as-code with the GitHub SDP Operator. Integrate with existing enterprise operation or business support systems such as IT service management (ITSM) or ticketing platforms and with endpoint solutions to ensure a “Trusted Device” as criteria for access.

ZTNA: Everything You Need To Know
Implementing a Zero Trust model is not a “one and done” project. It is an ongoing journey toward strong, adaptive and risk-based access controls embedded into the fabric of distributed, agile, and hybrid IT. Find out how to implement Zero Trust security in this 18-page eBook and have everything you need to know.
How Appgate Software-Defined Perimeter Works
Appgate’s SDP architecture exceeds the NIST Zero Trust Architecture specifications by delivering a truly superior Zero Trust access solution. Before any connection is made, the device and user must authenticate to the Controller, which evaluates a multi-dimensional identity profile. Watch this video to learn more.
Securing the hybrid enterprise
Remote workers and multi-cloud adoption create a scattered web of people, devices and workloads. Learn why ZTNA is quickly becoming the hybrid enterprise network security solution of choice in the eBook. Key topics covered include the risks in the hybrid enterprise to securing hybrid workforces and choosing a long-term ZTNA solution.
