ZTG’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) capability adjusts its strength based on environmental and behavioral factors, striking a balance between security and user experience.
A ZTNA Solution for the Modern Enterprise
In today’s distributed workplaces, users require secure access to resources from anywhere and any device. Traditional VPNs and firewalls struggle with limited visibility, complex management, large attack surfaces, and poor scalability—resulting in security risks, high costs, and poor user experience.
Sangfor Zero Trust Guard (ZTG) is a cloud-based Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution delivering secure, high-performance remote access to any application, on-premises or in the cloud. Its cloud-native design, simplified policy management, and AI-driven malware detection enable seamless scalability, unified policy enforcement, and proactive threat prevention—enhancing both security and user experience.
Sangfor ZTG Key Features and Capabilities
Adaptive Authentication
Adaptive Access Control
Adaptive access control evaluates requests for new sessions based on conditions like user identity, device posture, and location to allow or deny access. These conditions are continuously assessed, and appropriate actions are enforced when suspicious activity is detected.
Identity-Based Application Access
ZTG provides granular controls to define access at the application level based on user roles and device posture, rather than network-level controls like MAC addresses, VLANs, or IPs. All controls, permissions, and audit trails link directly to user identity, ensuring permissions move with the user for more flexible and precise policies.
User and Experience Behavior Analytics
ZTG offers complete visibility into potential threats, application performance, and user behavior. The centralized ZTG portal provides intuitive dashboards where administrators can see details about users, the apps they access, and the health of apps and resources.
Full Security Stack
As part of the Sangfor Athena SASE platform, ZTG integrates seamlessly with Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Firewall as a Service (FWaaS), Endpoint Protection (EDR), and more. This integration offers unparalleled threat prevention and secure remote access capabilities, empowering businesses to operate securely across all locations.
