Banyan Security vs. 12Port Horizon

Banyan offers a robust, secure solution tailored for enterprise application and infrastructure access. This innovative platform presents a cloud-based zero trust access approach as an alternative to traditional network access tools like VPNs, bastion hosts, and gateways. Users can effortlessly access infrastructure through a single click, all while keeping private networks protected from exposure. The installation is user-friendly, promoting high-performance connectivity. It automatically facilitates access to essential services, ensuring the integrity of private networks remains intact. Users can swiftly connect to SSH/RDP, Kubernetes, and numerous database environments, including well-known hosted applications such as GitLab, Jenkins, and Jira; additionally, a command-line interface is provided for convenience. This solution enhances collaboration in both on-premises and cloud environments without the hassle of complex IP whitelisting. Furthermore, it streamlines deployment, onboarding, and management with tag-based resource discovery and publishing features. The user-to-application segmentation is cloud-based, emphasizing availability, scalability, and ease of management. The platform significantly improves user experience by offering agentless, BYOD, and passwordless access, all supported by an intuitive one-click service catalog that simplifies application access even further. Ultimately, Banyan not only simplifies enterprise access management but also ensures a high level of security and operational efficiency, making it an essential tool for modern businesses.

Our agentless solution facilitates swift segmentation of network workloads while restricting unauthorized traffic, thereby effectively thwarting lateral movement and potential breaches. As the protection of IT assets across various environments—be it physical, virtual, or cloud—becomes increasingly complex, conventional security strategies often fail to keep pace with the growing sophistication of threats. By employing microsegmentation, we can effectively isolate workloads and scrutinize east-west traffic, which prevents attackers from expanding their influence into critical systems and significantly enhances overall network security. Organizations can establish and apply security policies that are guided by asset classification through the implementation of hierarchical taxonomies and tagging methods. Moreover, by enforcing rigorous access controls and maintaining constant monitoring of service traffic, our strategy adheres to zero trust principles, creating a robust security framework that is also flexible. The 12Port Horizon is engineered with an agentless design that simplifies both deployment and maintenance across every type of environment, whether it be physical, virtual, or in the cloud, all without adding extra complexity. This cutting-edge platform not only improves security but also equips organizations with the necessary agility to effectively tackle new and emerging threats in a timely manner. Ultimately, the combination of these features positions the 12Port Horizon as a pivotal tool for forward-thinking security strategies.
