Benefits of using Twingate

• Granular, least privilege access. Attain better security by controlling access to resources on a granular, least privilege basis. Apply multi-factor authentication, device posture requirements, and other security policies to individual applications and services of all types - even ones that don’t natively support them.
• Centralize org-wide access controls. Centralize management of organization-wide access controls under a single pane of glass. Make access reviews easy with a single place to analyze who is accessing which resources, reduce overprovisioning, and produce evidence for compliance audits.
• Facilitate personnel offboarding. Offboard employees, contractors, and vendors quickly. Disable access to all resources secured by Twingate with a few clicks - even if a resource has a separate account for logging in.
• Visibility over network activity. Extensive logging and analytics gives visibility into network activity across the enterprise, allowing administrators to monitor for anomalous and suspicious events.
• A modern, improved approach to remote access security. Evolve beyond corporate VPNs and control access to resources at the application level, not the network level. Eliminate public-facing gateways and hide your network from the public internet.
