Secure Branch and Site Connectivity
Deliver fast, controlled connectivity across branch and site networks without compromising security or compliance.
Zero Trust Site-to-Site Connectivity
Traditional WAN and VPN solutions for branch connectivity often rely on static tunnels, broad network access, or backhauling through central hubs—introducing latency, complexity, and security gaps. AppGate ZTNA replaces these outdated models with granular, policy-driven access that enforces least-privilege communication between offices, data centers, and remote sites. Connections are established dynamically and directly, ensuring that only authorized sites can communicate while reducing exposure, improving performance, and simplifying management.
- Direct-Routed Connectivity: Branches and sites connect efficiently without routing traffic through central gateways or cloud chokepoints.
- Cloaked Networks: Networks and resources remain invisible to unauthorized sites and external attackers.
- Identity-Centric Policies: Access to branch locations is controlled based on verified identities, not broad network ranges.
- Adaptive Risk Controls: Connections adapt dynamically to changing security posture, network conditions or threat indicators.
Implementation Steps
AppGate ZTNA makes it simple to connect multiple sites securely by configuring connectors, defining policies and enabling monitoring of traffic.
1 Prepare the Existing Infrastructure
Ensure controllers and gateways are deployed within your AppGate ZTNA collective as a foundational setup before adding site-specific configurations.
2 Configure Site Connectors
Deploy and configure connectors at each site to establish secure tunnels, extending the secure perimeter to new locations through encrypted communication.
3 Define Site Policies and Entitlements
Create and apply policies and entitlements that define access rules for each site, including fallback options to maintain connectivity and security.
4 Monitor and Adjust
Use monitoring tools to track site access and performance, regularly reviewing and adjusting policies to ensure optimal security and efficiency across all connected sites.
Benefits and Outcomes
Implementing AppGate ZTNA for site-to-site and branch office access delivers secure, efficient, and manageable connectivity across distributed networks.
- Reduces operational complexity by centralizing policy management for multiple offices and sites.
- Ensures secure communication between branches without broad network exposure.
- Improves performance by not routing through other cloud services.
- Supports compliance and auditing by enforcing policy-based access and enabling continuous monitoring across all sites.
