Appgate announced that DXC Technology has selected Appgate as a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) provider for its new Zero Trust Framework solution for its worldwide customer base. This extends a technology innovation relationship forged in April 2022 when DXC selected Appgate's ZTNA solution to support its internal large-scale strategic network transformation initiative. By deploying Appgate SDP, DXC quickly and efficiently reduced its network attack surface, secured direct connections to application environments, and limited user ability to laterally traverse the network.

In addition, DXC realized significant ROI through downsizing multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks and consolidating VPNs and other legacy remote access solutions under a centralized and unified ZTNA framework. With more than 130,000 employees working in over 70 countries, DXC is responsible for providing some of the companies with seamless and secure access solutions to a wide range of applications and environments that are critical to their business operations. After realizing the benefits of Appgate SDP, DX C decided to take the solution to its customers.

Appgate SDP is one of the few direct-routed ZTNA solutions on the market today. Key differentiators include: Direct-routed and self-hosted: Built on architecture without a cloud proxy, enabling full control of how data traverses the network and secures users and resources across hybrid infrastructure; Business ROI and cost savings: Replaces and reduces outdated, insecure legacy access and network technologies; decreases security administrative overhead, delivery times, and operational challenges; Universal Zero Trust architecture: Adheres to the Zero Trust security model; continuously verifies and authentic any users and devices connecting to any resources, anywhere; Contextual access control: Grants access based on user identity, device security, location, and other contextual factors; offers granular resource control; Microperimeters: Supports all ports and protocols with fine-grained policy model; Programmable and adaptable: Ties access to security events or business processes with rich inbound and outbound APIs for data and event integration; Simplified management: Provides a centralized interface to configure and monitor access policies for easier security control enforcement across the network; Multi-cloud support: Extends secure access capabilities to resources hosted in multiple heterogenous cloud environments. The proven security and business benefits of Appgate SDP were recently quantified through research with commercial and federal customers as reported in the 2023 Nemertes Driving Value Through ZTNA study.
