Assess, Score and Adapt Access
AppGate’s Risk Sentinel helps you enhance access policies with real-time risk insights from your existing IT, security and business tools—without the cost or complexity of custom integrations.
Benefits of AppGate’s Risk Sentinel
AppGate’s Risk Sentinel (formerly Risk Engine) delivers continuous, context-aware analysis that informs adaptive, least-privilege access.
- Integrated Security Posture Insights: Leverages data from third-party IT, security and business solutions to enhance access policies.
- Frictionless Integrations: Eliminates the need for custom API scripting with built-in connectors and a click-to-configure interface
- Adaptive Access Controls: Dynamically adjusts entitlements based on contextual risk signals, minimizing static, over-permissive access.
- Reduced Risk Exposure: Identifies anomalies and blocks high-risk activity before it reaches sensitive applications.
- Optimized User Experience: Ensures trusted users maintain seamless access, while risky behavior triggers step-up security.
Dynamic Risk Intelligence
AppGate’s Risk Sentinel continuously collects and analyzes contextual signals—spanning users, devices, networks, and integrated security tools—to calculate dynamic risk scores and refine Zero Trust access in real time.
- Context-Aware Decisions: Incorporates posture data such as device compliance, patch level, user behavior, geolocation, and IP reputation.
- Third-Party Enrichment: Natively integrates with leading endpoint, identity and security tools to extend intelligence without complex scripting.
- Real-Time Scoring: Continuously updates risk scores to reflect changing conditions.
- Adaptive Enforcement: Automatically enforces appropriate controls—from access approval to step-up verification to denial—based on calculated risk.
- Zero Trust Alignment: Reinforces least-privilege principles by ensuring access decisions reflect real-time posture, not static entitlements.
How It Works
AppGate’s Risk Sentinel acts as an adaptive policy brain for ZTNA. It ingests posture data from your existing security stack, calculates dynamic risk scores and applies context-aware access controls in real time.
Our service emphasizes the following key elements:
- Continuous Context Monitoring: Evaluates signals including device posture, OS version, user behavior, and threat intelligence.
- Seamless Integrations: Leverages built-in connectors to leading security tools with no custom coding required.
- Granular Risk Scoring: Assigns dynamic scores to every session, adapting continuously as conditions shift.
- Adaptive Policy Enforcement: Automates access decisions, such as grant, restrict, or block, based on risk thresholds.
- Operational Efficiency: Reduces manual interventions and accelerates deployment with a click-to-configure interface.
