How G2 defines Zero Trust Networking
Zero Trust Networking software is a type of network security and identity management solution used to implement the Zero Trust security model. As opposed to traditional network security systems, which provide a castle-and-moat system for granting access into a network, the Zero Trust model assumes every individual, both internal and external, is a potential threat until they are verified.
To qualify for inclusion in the Zero Trust Networking category, a product must:
- Utilize adaptive authentication to continuously verify user permissions
- Allow for network segmentation to simplify and broaden policy enforcement
- Monitor traffic and user behavior for future inspection and analysis

"The feedback since implementing Absolute Secure Access has been overwhelmingly positive. We’ve found that it simply works and does exactly what we need to do. By pairing the solution with built-in 4G, my doctors can fire up their secured, managed laptop wherever they are, and with no additional interaction work as if they are in their consulting room. They can focus on their patients anytime, anywhere."

Absolute Secure Access FAQ
Absolute Secure Access encompasses three products:
- Absolute Core provides security and confidentiality for data in motion by means of encryption and access controls. It also offers benefits to the end user, such as making tunnel and network sessions resilient and optimizing streaming video and audio.
- Absolute Edge provides a software-defined perimeter via Zero Trust Network Access, creating a context-based, logical access boundary around an application or set of applications – wherever they're hosted. It shields applications from the Internet, making them invisible to unauthorized users. Access policies are enforced at the endpoint, avoiding latency and any data transgression.
- Absolute Enterprise is a converged, resilient cloud-native SSE platform that includes Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Private Access (ZTNA), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) into a single platform. It also includes proactive anomaly detection (AI Threat Insights) and over 70+ dashboards of user, device, network, and application behavior (Insights for Network) as well as Endpoint Compliance that gives administrators additional visibility, control, and resilience over user devices.
- Absolute Insights for Network™ offers diagnostic and experience monitoring capabilities across endpoints and network, allowing organizations to proactively monitor, investigate, and remediate end user performance issues quickly and at scale, even on networks that are not company-owned or managed.
