Portnox cloud-native ZTNA supports secure remote work access

Portnox, a leading provider of cloud-native access control solutions, is releasing its Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, securing remote workers from a variety of network threats.

According to the company, this expanded threat landscape presents significant security challenges for IT teams. To support rapid adoption, Portnox is also introducing a free version of its ZTNA solution—offering access for unlimited users to an unlimited number of web-based applications. 

Purpose-built for agility and simplicity, Portnox’s latest innovation eliminates the friction, lag, and complexity that have come to characterize conventional ZTNA and VPN architectures.

Portnox ZTNA offers a unified access control approach, delivering secure remote access to any web-based application without the traditional complexities and exposures, the company said. 

Leveraging modern zero trust principles, Portnox ZTNA extends robust security capabilities to the application layer, ultimately simplifying IT operations. 

Key advantages of Portnox ZTNA include: 

• Instant access with minimal latency: Delivers blazing-fast, high-performance connectivity to internal applications—no lag, no waiting—ensuring users remain productive without the sluggish delays common in legacy ZTNA and VPN solutions. 

• No client or agent required: Users access internal web applications via standard browsers and familiar URLs, eliminating the need for legacy clients. 

• Passwordless authentication: Provides seamless and secure access, removing the burden and risk associated with passwords.  

• Role- and location-based access controls: Ensures users can only access the resources they need, based on their role and location.  

• Endpoint risk posture checks: Continuously verifies the security compliance of devices before granting access.  

• Automated remediation: Instantly addresses non-compliant or risky endpoints. 

• Zero network impact: Requires no configuration changes to remote worker networks or corporate firewalls. All connections are outbound-only, simplifying secure access and minimizing the attack surface. 

• Access to web-based applications: Provides secure remote access to web-based applications. 

“Portnox ZTNA fundamentally changes how organizations approach remote access security," explained Denny LeCompte, CEO of Portnox. "We've engineered a solution that not only significantly strengthens security but also enhances the user experience—because the best security is virtually invisible: fast, seamless, and frictionless. By eliminating the reliance on traditional VPNs and streamlining access controls, we empower businesses to embrace a true zero trust model with remarkable simplicity." 

Future releases will broaden the scope of the solution to encompass secure zero trust access to a wider array of enterprise resources—including legacy applications with no web client. This continued expansion reflects Portnox’s commitment to providing holistic, cloud-native access control for every user, device, and application—no matter where they reside, according to the company.

Portnox ZTNA is a core component of the Portnox Unified Access Control Platform, which also includes RADIUS authentication, Network Access Control (NAC), and TACACS+, delivered in a single, cost effective, cloud-native solution.

Together, these capabilities provide organizations with a centralized, highly scalable ecosystem for managing and enforcing zero trust access across modern hybrid environments, the company said.

The free version of Portnox ZTNA—available now—enables organizations to securely connect unlimited users to unlimited web-based applications.
