Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access controls access to corporate applications using user and device context. It continuously checks identity and device health, then grants least-privilege access to authorized resources. Device policies can evaluate antivirus, firewall, location, disk encryption, operating-system version, missing patches, and other conditions. The service can score risk from running processes and applications, quarantine unpatched devices running high-risk applications, and respond with step-up authentication or access restrictions. Organizations can publish on-premises applications, web pages, network locations, and SaaS resources such as Microsoft O365 and Salesforce. Its software-defined perimeter separates control and data planes; application traffic passes through a gateway deployed in an organization’s datacenter or virtual private cloud. The Controller authorizes gateways before endpoints can connect. Authentication options include local authentication, SAML, and TOTP. Centralized management provides visibility into application access, users, devices, and activity. Pricing is on request. It is positioned for organizations securing access for employees, contractors, and partners.
