Download the solution brief to discover how AppGate ZTNA enables SLED organizations to modernize secure access, replacing legacy VPNs with identity-driven controls that protect critical infrastructure and sensitive public data across complex hybrid environments.
Government employees, educators, contractors, and third-party vendors require secure connectivity to IT and OT environments from multiple locations and devices.
Many organizations continue to rely on aging VPN platforms that lack the policy granularity and visibility needed for modern security strategies.
State and municipal IT organizations frequently support multiple agencies or departments, each with unique access policies and operational requirements.
Government and education systems store sensitive citizen, financial, and student data that must be protected from unauthorized access and exfiltration.
State agencies and educational institutions face growing targeting by foreign nation-state actors and organized cybercriminal groups seeking to exploit exposed infrastructure.
