XplicitTrust is a next-generation zero-trust network access solution that automatically connects devices anywhere. Simple and secure, based on software agents that install in a snap, require no configuration, and no key or certificate management. Connections work reliably, are highly resilient, and are established independently of existing firewalls and network configurations. Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and precise access controls determine who can see and connect to which machine. Connected machines become invisible to unauthorized actors with drastically reduced attack surfaces, making even unpatchable systems securely available over the Internet. The location of systems becomes irrelevant as machines can reside within existing networks, in cloud data centers, at users' homes, in the field, etc., and can even be moved without issue.
