Secure Access, Simplified. No Agents, No Clients, No Passwords—No Problem.

AUSTIN, TX, July 8, 2025 — Portnox, a leading provider of cloud-native access control solutions, today announced the launch of its innovative Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution. In today’s distributed work environment, employees require access to critical applications from various locations and devices, often over untrusted networks. This expanded threat landscape presents significant security challenges for IT teams. To support rapid adoption, Portnox is also introducing a free version of its ZTNA solution—offering access for unlimited users to an unlimited number of web-based applications.

Legacy ZTNA deployments are notorious for sluggish performance, bloated agents, and deployment headaches that rival traditional VPNs. Purpose-built for agility and simplicity, Portnox’s latest innovation eliminates the friction, lag, and complexity that have come to characterize conventional ZTNA and VPN architectures. Portnox ZTNA offers a unified access control approach, delivering secure remote access to any web-based application without the traditional complexities and exposures.

Leveraging modern zero trust principles, Portnox ZTNA extends robust security capabilities to the application layer, ultimately simplifying IT operations.

Key Advantages of Portnox ZTNA:

• Instant Access with Minimal Latency: Delivers blazing-fast, high-performance connectivity to internal applications—no lag, no waiting—ensuring users remain productive without the sluggish delays common in legacy ZTNA and VPN solutions.
• No Client or Agent Required: Users access internal web applications via standard browsers and familiar URLs, eliminating the need for legacy clients.
• Passwordless Authentication: Provides seamless and secure access, removing the burden and risk associated with passwords.
• Role- and Location-Based Access Controls: Ensures users can only access the resources they need, based on their role and location.
• Endpoint Risk Posture Checks: Continuously verifies the security compliance of devices before granting access.
• Automated Remediation: Instantly addresses non-compliant or risky endpoints.
• Zero Network Impact: Requires no configuration changes to remote worker networks or corporate firewalls. All connections are outbound-only, simplifying secure access and minimizing the attack surface.
• Access to Web-Based Applications: Provides secure remote access to web-based applications.

“Portnox ZTNA fundamentally changes how organizations approach remote access security,” stated Denny LeCompte, CEO of Portnox. “We’ve engineered a solution that not only significantly strengthens security but also enhances the user experience—because the best security is virtually invisible: fast, seamless, and frictionless. By eliminating the reliance on traditional VPNs and streamlining access controls, we empower businesses to embrace a true zero trust model with remarkable simplicity.”

Portnox ZTNA offers a modern, secure alternative to traditional VPNs for accessing web-based applications. It establishes a secure, outbound-only tunnel, eliminating the need for VPN clients or complex firewall modifications. This approach simplifies secure remote access without compromising security or user experience.

While today’s launch focuses on delivering high-speed, passwordless access to web-based applications, Portnox ZTNA is only just getting started. Future releases will broaden the scope of the solution to encompass secure zero trust access to a wider array of enterprise resources—including legacy applications with no web client. This continued expansion reflects Portnox’s commitment to providing holistic, cloud-native access control for every user, device, and application—no matter where they reside.

Portnox ZTNA is a core component of the Portnox Unified Access Control Platform, which also includes RADIUS authentication, Network Access Control (NAC), and TACACS+, delivered in a single, cost effective, cloud-native solution. Together, these capabilities provide organizations with a centralized, highly scalable ecosystem for managing and enforcing zero trust access across modern hybrid environments.

The free version of Portnox ZTNA—available now—enables organizations to securely connect unlimited users to unlimited web-based applications. While this free offering includes only community support , organizations can upgrade to Enterprise Support and access all to-be-released features. To use the free version, installation of Portnox’s lightweight endpoint posture assessment tool, AgentP, is required.
