Portnox, a leader in passwordless, universal zero trust, is expanding its Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, extending credential-free access beyond web and on-premises applications to include enterprise console-based applications.
According to the company, organizations can now eliminate passwords and credentials from administrative access via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Secure Shell (SSH), Virtual Network Computing (VNC), and Teletype Network (Telnet).
“When we launched Portnox ZTNA in July 2025, we proved that you don’t have to sacrifice speed or simplicity to achieve zero trust,” said Denny LeCompte, CEO of Portnox. “Our expansion into console-based applications shows what happens when you substantially reduce the attack surface. Portnox customers are removing passwords and replacing VPNs while improving the user experience across their application suite. That’s the promise of true zero trust: better security, increased productivity, and ease of use.”
Building on Portnox’s NAC and universal access control foundation, Portnox ZTNA now extends comprehensive zero trust protection across the entire enterprise technology stack:
Stop Risky Devices at the Console - Passwordless, certificate-based authentication for RDP, SSH, VNC, and Telnet connections. Continuous device posture monitoring and risk-adaptive policies. Automated remediation of non-compliant endpoints before access is granted. Zero network impact deployment—no firewall changes, VPN clients, or agent installations required.
Secure, Frictionless Access for Users - Unified view of all authorized resources across applications and infrastructure. Single sign-on experience for enterprise applications (web, SaaS, on-premises, console-based). Role-based and location-based access controls with real-time policy enforcement. Simplified endpoint management and automated security workflows.
Continuous Zero Trust Verification - Identity verification through integration with enterprise IdPs (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace). Device posture checks against organizational security policies. Network and location context evaluation for every access request - Risk scoring for adaptive security. Automatic access revocation when device posture or risk conditions change.
The newly released secure enterprise access capabilities alongside Portnox’s Secure Access Portal enhancements are available immediately as part of the latest Portnox ZTNA release.
