About Accops HySecure ZTNA Solution

Accops HySecure is a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) based Private application access gateway that empowers your workforce to safely access corporate applications and desktops to access the data they need to be efficient and productive. By removing traditional barriers related to devices, networks, and locations, the HySecure gateway lets workforce work with utmost agility—switching seamlessly between devices, moving from trusted LANs to untrusted WANs, and connecting via browsers, desktop clients, or mobile apps as required.

This flexibility is reinforced by integrated Web Application Protection (WAP), which includes Bot Management, API & WebSocket Protection, and Tamper Proofing to shield web-hosted resources from automated attacks and sophisticated application vulnerabilities. With out-of-the-box security features, organizations can provide compliant access to any corporate application—including web apps, SaaS, client-server apps, and legacy virtual desktops (VDI/DaaS). HySecure’s zero-trust application tunnel-based SPAN technology ensures access is simple, safe, and swift without requiring network changes or complex endpoint configurations. By utilizing Layer 4 to Layer 7 technology, HySecure establishes a software-defined perimeter (SDP) that combines the high performance and centralized management required for enterprise remote access.

Unlike generic VPNs, Accops HySecure identifies malicious login attempts through comprehensive contextual assessment before giving access to apps. Contextual assessment includes evaluating device posture, device identity, user identity and role, time of access, accurate location as well as trend and intent of access.
