Zero Trust Network Access
without exposing your applications.
Replace VPN with patented Reverse Access™ - make your internal applications invisible from the internet until users prove identity, context, and device posture. Every session continuously verified. No inbound ports. No exposed gateways. No attack surface for scanners.
Trusted
From VPN and implicit trust to continuous verification.
In a modern IT landscape where cyber threats continuously evolve, traditional access solutions expose organizations to risks. VPNs, static credentials, and implicit trust models leave systems vulnerable to unauthorized access and lateral movement. Once a user is inside the VPN tunnel, the network treats them as trusted - even when their credentials are stolen, their device is compromised, or their context has changed.
truePass Gate takes a different approach. It enforces a Zero Trust security model where every user, every device, and every session is continuously verified before being granted access. By leveraging identity, context, device posture, and real-time risk, Gate authorizes each request individually - not the network connection.
Four ways traditional remote access fails modern security.
If you're seeing one or more of these in your environment - your remote access architecture has already outgrown what VPN was designed for.
Inbound exposure
Every VPN concentrator, every published application, every RDP gateway is a public-facing endpoint. Attackers scan for them, exploit unpatched vulnerabilities, and use them as entry points. The very infrastructure that enables remote work becomes the attack surface.
Network-level trust
Once a VPN session is established, the user is on the network. They can scan, probe, and reach systems they were never supposed to access. A single stolen credential becomes a path to the entire intranet.
Static, all-or-nothing access
Traditional access is binary: connected or not. There's no continuous context evaluation - once granted, access stays granted until the session ends. A user's device compromise mid-session goes unnoticed. A behavior change triggers no response.
Operational and user friction
VPN clients require installation, configuration, and updates across every device. Users hit slow connections, dropped tunnels, and complex onboarding. IT teams maintain concentrator capacity, certificates, and per-user routing. Everyone loses.
A VPN was built to extend the network, not to protect it. It was designed when "inside" meant an office and trust was a location. Every session it opens still hands the user a network address, and every concentrator it needs still has to be reachable from the internet. Gate closes that gap — making applications invisible from the outside and granting access to one app at a time, never to the network behind it.
Three components. One Zero Trust access fabric.
Gate is built on patented Reverse Access™ technology - delivering Zero Trust access without ever exposing internal applications to the internet.
Reverse Access™ Infrastructure
The patented foundation. Outbound-only. Apps invisible from the internet.
Gate flips the traditional access model. Instead of opening inbound ports to allow connectivity, the Access Controller inside your network establishes outbound-only connections to the Access Gateway in the DMZ. Internal applications stay invisible until a user proves identity. Port scanners see nothing.
- Patented in 22 countries since 2018
- Outbound-only HTTPS / TLS 1.3
- No inbound firewall rules to open
- Internal apps invisible to internet
Continuous Verification Engine
Every user. Every device. Every session. Continuously verified.
Every user, every device, every session is continuously verified - not just at login. Gate evaluates identity, device posture, location, behavior, and real-time risk on every access request. Access that was authorized five minutes ago can be revoked instantly if context changes.
- Identity verification (AD, LDAP, SAML, MFA)
- Device posture checks (OS, EDR, encryption)
- Context (location, network, time of day)
- Real-time risk scoring per request
Granular Access Control across all protocols
Per-application access. Per-action policy. Every protocol your business needs.
Gate enforces per-application, per-action access policy. Users get access to the specific application they need - not the network it lives on. Vendor access is time-limited and scoped to a single resource. Privileged actions require step-up authentication. Standing privileges disappear.
Gate supports every protocol your modern enterprise depends on - RDP for remote desktops, SSH for production servers, HTTP/HTTPS for web applications, APIs for backend integration, TCP and UDP for legacy or specialized services. All under one unified Zero Trust policy, with or without a client.
- Per-application access (not network-level)
- Time-limited sessions and credentials
- RDP · SSH · Web · API · TCP · UDP support
- Clientless & client-based deployment modes
- Per-action policy enforcement
- Unified audit trail for compliance
truePass Gate vs. Traditional VPN
VPN was designed for a world of fixed offices and trusted networks. That world is gone. Here's how Gate replaces the old model with continuous Zero Trust. VPN gave users the network. Gate gives users the application. That's the difference between a tunnel and Zero Trust.
| Criterion | Traditional VPN | truePass Gate |
|---|---|---|
| Application exposure | Inbound ports open to internet | Invisible - outbound-only architecture |
| Trust model | Implicit trust after login | Continuous verification per request |
| Access granularity | Network-level (full intranet) | Per-application, per-action |
| Device posture | Login check only | Continuous evaluation |
| Behavior context | Not evaluated | Real-time risk scoring |
| User experience | Client install, slow tunnels | Clientless or client-based, browser-native |
| Protocol support | Network tunnel (all-or-nothing) | RDP · SSH · Web · API · TCP · UDP |
| Third-party access | Standing access, hard to scope | Time-limited, per-resource |
| Audit & compliance | Tunnel-level logs only | Per-user, per-action, per-resource |
| Attack surface | Public VPN concentrators | None - no inbound exposure |
VPN gave users the network. Gate gives users the application.That's the difference between a tunnel and Zero Trust.
Everything Gate does for your remote workforce.
Our clientless Zero Trust access solution provides continuous identity verification, device posture evaluation, and per-application authorization - eliminating inbound exposure and network-level trust for employees, vendors, and privileged users alike.
Users reach internal applications through a standard browser - no agent to install, configure, or update across every device. Where a client is required, Gate deploys one; where it isn't, onboarding is a URL and an identity check.
Access is granted to a specific application, never to the network behind it. A user who is authorized for one internal system has no address, no route, and no path to anything else - so a compromised session stays confined to what that session was for.
Applications are published through outbound-initiated TLS on port 443, with no concentrator, no published RDP gateway, and no public-facing endpoint to scan. What cannot be reached from the internet cannot be exploited from it.
Brokers HTTP/S, RDP, SSH, SMB, and API sessions through a single access layer - covering both modern web applications and the legacy systems that traditionally forced a VPN tunnel to stay in place.
Every request is evaluated against device state, browser, location, and time window alongside identity. The same user gets different policy from a managed laptop than from an unmanaged device - and posture is re-checked continuously, not once at login.
Vendors, contractors, and privileged users receive access for a defined task and a defined window, revoked automatically when it closes. No standing accounts, no permanent entitlements, no firewall rule that outlives the maintenance it was opened for.
One policy model and one management console replace the stack of concentrators, gateways, and point products. Every session, command, and file transfer is logged per identity and exported to SIEM - audit-ready evidence for NIST SP 800-207, ISO 27001, and SOC 2.
Three outcomes that start on day one.
