Appgate, the secure access company, announced that DXC Technology, a leading Fortune 500 global IT services provider, 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 world’s largest 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, DXC decided to take the solution to its customers.
“It has been great working with DXC on its network transformation initiative. It’s now an honor to be a trusted ZTNA provider for DXC’s Zero Trust Framework solution,” said Appgate CEO and President Leo Taddeo. “This trust underscores why enterprises, federal agencies, and our channel and service integration partners use our direct-routed ZTNA solution to solve network security complexities, enable business agility, and reduce costs.”
“We’ve leveraged Appgate SDP to execute our own ambitious network transformation goals, better safeguard our resources, reduce connectivity costs, and modernize secure network access for our employees connecting from anywhere at any time to our internal applications and resources,” said Mark Hughes, President, DXC Security. “Now we’re extending those benefits to our customers by offering ZTNA powered by Appgate SDP in our new Zero Trust Framework solution.”
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 authenticates 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
Appgate is the secure access company. We empower how people work and connect by providing solutions purpose-built on Zero Trust security principles. This people-defined security approach enables fast, simple, and secure connections from any device and location to workloads across any IT infrastructure: in cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments. Appgate helps organizations and government agencies worldwide start where they are, accelerate their Zero Trust journey, and plan for their future.
