Ericom’s innovative ZTEdge platform integrates key Zero Trust security controls and delivers them as a simplified, cost-effective cloud service, making it a smart choice for organizations planning their move to Zero Trust. I’m pleased to be joining the Ericom Industry Advisory Board and look forward to supporting Ericom’s ZTEdge team as it delivers the platform’s advanced capabilities to the market.”

Ericom’s ZTEdge Zero Trust SASE solution is an integrated cloud security solution that cuts complexity, reduces cyber-risk, and improves performance for organizations, all at a dramatically lower price point than alternative solutions.

• Identifying users and authenticating devices: Securely connecting the right people and devices to the right applications and resources.
• Secure web and internet access: Protecting users and their devices as they interact with the web and email.
• Secure remote private application and desktop access: Providing a simple way to connect remote workers with private cloud and on-premise applications and remote desktops.
• SaaS application access: Limiting access to public cloud apps like Office 365 or Salesforce to only authenticated and authorized users, eliminating credential theft risk and restricting data sharing privileges.
• Network protection and monitoring: Segmenting and monitoring networks to stop threats like ransomware spread and detecting, blocking, and remediating intrusions.
• Cloud area network™: Reducing cost and complexity while improving security by connecting users, apps, servers, and containers through a high-performance Zero Trust cloud overlay network.
