Description of Twingate
Twingate is a secure remote access solution for an organization’s private applications, data, and environments, whether they are on-premise or in the cloud. Built to make the lives of DevOps teams, IT/infrastructure teams, and end users easier, it replaces outdated business VPNs which were not built to handle a world in which "work from anywhere" and cloud-based assets are increasingly the norm.
Twingate’s modern zero trust-based approach to securing remote access focuses on improving security, while not compromising on usability and maintainability. Twingate distinguishes itself from other solutions in the following ways:
- Software-only solution can be deployed alongside existing solutions in minutes, without requiring changes to existing infrastructure.
- Enables least privilege access at the application level without requiring networks to be re-architected.
- Centralized admin console, coupled with extensive logging capabilities, provides control and visibility over an enterprise’s entire network.
- Scales up to support more users and resources without burdening IT teams with network segmentation projects or buying new hardware.
- Client agents can be set up by users without IT support, are always on, and do not require user interaction once enabled.
- User internet connectivity is improved due to split tunneling, no backhauling, and an intelligent client agent that handles authorization and routing activities on device.
