Cradlepoint announces availability of 5G network access solution

Cradlepoint has announced the availability of its third NetCloud Exchange (NCX) solution, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).

NCX ZTNA ensures a native ZTNA experience that offers simplicity, efficiency, and granularity.

While cellular connectivity delivers agility and the freedom to connect anyone from anywhere, this extended WAN edge creates a broader network attack surface. This requires an innovative approach to network security, and a zero trust approach can address these challenges.

Cradlepoint’s NCX ZTNA solution will offer differentiated capabilities to support the expanded edge and extended workforce. Key capabilities include: simplified administration through an integrated policy engine, deployment flexibility with multiple forms of network access, and isolated user-to-resource access through fine-grained policies.

Donna Johnson, senior vice president of marketing, Cradlepoint, said, “ZTNA represents a more intelligent approach to network security, which is imperative as the modern, digital attack surface grows.

“Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Exchange ZTNA mitigates the risk of lateral movement by directly connecting users to applications, instead of the network. It allows cellular-centric customers to take advantage of a ZTNA solution that is built-in to their Wireless WAN deployment as opposed to bolted-on.”
