Twingate, a leader in Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), has emerged with a mission to simplify security and empower organizations to thrive in this dynamic environment.
Challenges
Twingate recognized several challenges that organizations were grappling with:
Complexity of Legacy VPNs: Traditional VPNs were no longer adequate to secure remote access for modern workforces. They often required complex configurations and provided all-or-nothing access, lacking granularity and flexibility.
Diverse Work Environments: Employees worked from various locations, used different devices, and accessed company resources scattered across private clouds, SaaS platforms, and on-premises servers.
Security and Privacy Concerns: Companies needed a way to protect their private resources without exposing them on the public internet. They also required robust authentication mechanisms to ensure secure access.
