Best Zero Trust Security Software for AuthPoint

ManageEngine Endpoint Central implements a Zero Trust security framework by applying stringent access restrictions, least-privilege principles, and ongoing verification of endpoints for all devices and users within the organization. The endpoint privilege management feature eliminates unnecessary local admin rights and substitutes permanent privileges with temporary, role-specific access, ensuring that users possess no more permissions than their job necessitates. The application control system adopts a default-deny strategy, permitting only those applications that are trusted and authorized to run, while blocking all others by default. Device control capabilities limit the connection of unauthorized peripherals and removable media. Additionally, private access facilitates secure, identity-based connections to internal applications for remote users, removing implicit trust and guaranteeing that every access request is scrutinized, approved, and documented throughout the entire endpoint ecosystem.

OpenVPN Access Server is a self-hosted Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution you deploy into your own environment — on-prem or your AWS, Azure, or GCP account — so tunnel traffic and configuration never touch a third-party network. Access is enforced by application, not IP or subnet: each user reaches only the app they're entitled to, identified by domain name, with no visibility into anything else. That structurally blocks lateral movement — there's no connectivity path for a breach to exploit. With Access Server Link, deployment is a guided setup (hostname, cloud, region, password) with SSL certificates auto-provisioned and renewed, removing manual cert management as an attack surface. Entitlements tie to hostname, so they survive IP changes and autoscaling without rework. Your instance stays fully under your control, preserving the data ownership and audit posture required for HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR — full sovereignty over the control plane, with SaaS-level simplicity. The admin portal replaces SSH-based management: users, certificates, and access policies are configured through a browser, so shell access isn't required, shrinking your attack surface. The Zero Trust App Broker mediates every connection through a placeholder IP scoped to one authorized application — users never learn the real destination, so a compromised credential can't be used to probe or discover other systems. This enforces least privilege by design, not just by policy that can drift or be misconfigured. Client apps span Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux, so identity- and application-based controls apply consistently across devices. Deployment runs through preconfigured templates on AWS, Azure, and GCP, giving security teams repeatable, auditable rollouts.
