Discover, Classify and Refine Access
Move beyond legacy access models with a smarter, faster way to discover application usage and enforce precise, least-privilege access controls.
Benefits of AppGate’s Application Discovery Service
As a foundational, value-added service to your AppGate ZTNA instance, the Application Discovery Service provides insights into application access, enabling efficient enforcement of least-privilege access.
- Faster Deployment: Expedites Zero Trust adoption by automating entitlement refinement.
- Reduced Risk: Minimizes unauthorized access by enforcing application-specific access controls.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Eliminates manual discovery processes, saving significant IT and security team resources.
- Increased Compliance Readiness: Provides detailed visibility into access patterns, supporting regulatory frameworks like NIST 800-207 and GDPR.
- Seamless User Experience: Maintains uninterrupted access for users while security teams refine entitlements in the background.
Deep Discovery Capabilities
Our service evaluates user access patterns across your environment, identifying which applications are being accessed, by whom, and how, enabling precise entitlement configurations that get you closer to true Zero Trust.
- Safety and Confidentiality: We handle your access data securely, providing timely insights and maintaining consistent standards to ensure your trust.
- Tailored Entitlement Development: We generate refined access policies aligned with least-privilege principles, customized to your specific application environment.
- Zero Trust Alignment: We operate on the principle of least privilege, ensuring that users only have access to the applications they need. This approach aligns with a modern Zero Trust architecture and minimizes unnecessary exposure.
- Actionable Intelligence: We deliver clear, detailed recommendations for refining access entitlements, enabling you to proactively strengthen your Zero Trust posture.
- Proven Expertise: AppGate is a leader in Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions, safeguarding enterprises and government agencies worldwide.
How It Works
AppGate's Application Discovery Service analyzes network connection requests, categorizes access patterns, and generates precise, least-privilege entitlements that administrators can review and apply.
Our service emphasizes the following key elements:
Automated Application Discovery
Leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to identify user access patterns by analyzing host, port, and protocol data.
Intelligent Entitlement Generation
Suggests refined access policies to enforce least-privilege principles.
Seamless Transition to Zero Trust
Simplifies the migration from broad entitlements to application-specific access controls.
Operational Efficiency
Eliminates manual audit log reviews, freeing IT and security teams for strategic initiatives.
Enhanced Security and Compliance
Reduces unnecessary access to improve security posture and meet regulatory requirements.
Illustrates how broad access, while rapidly configured, can increase exposure to potential security threats by leaving applications and resources vulnerable.
Demonstrates how narrowly defined entitlements restrict user access solely to necessary applications, while all other resources remain
concealed and protected from unauthorized access.
