Fremont, CA: Cyber security is a fast-paced industry in which hackers and security providers compete to outwit one another. New threats – and innovative ways to combat them – emerge on a regular basis.

Zentera Systems, the leader in Zero Trust Security for the digitally-transformed enterprise, has brought a major upgrade to its Zentera Air Zero Trust Services platform, offering small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) a range of options that utilize next-generation Zero Trust Security technology to address common cybersecurity challenges.

Many of the same cybersecurity concerns exist for SMEs and large enterprises: ransomware threatens business continuity, external compromise causes compliance as well as data protection issues, and theft by malicious insiders threatens the company's long-term competitiveness. Both have an increasingly distributed workforce, a reliance on third-party contractors, and are shifting to cloud computing. SMEs, in contrast to large enterprises, typically have limited IT and Infosec resources and frequently do not have the option of considering major infrastructure upgrades to keep up with this changing threat landscape.

Zentera Air's new features are derived from the proven, cutting-edge security in the CoIP Access platform, which has been deployed at scale by major enterprises and has been optimized to make Zero Trust Security controls easy to deploy in minutes. Administrators can simply onboard critical application servers to Zentera Air services without disruption after signing up for Zentera Air service from one of Zentera's global points of presence and start locking down user and application access to enforce Zero Trust principles.

"Zero Trust is one of the hottest topics in cybersecurity, but real adoption has been limited to the largest enterprises due to infrastructure and operational concerns," stated Jaushin Lee, Zentera's CEO. "Zentera Air brings the game-changing benefits of Zero Trust Security to SMEs with a non-disruptive, overlay-based solution that is easy to adopt. Our simple flows and ML-assisted configuration makes it possible for SMEs to embrace Zero Trust Security, even if they are short of cybersecurity expertise."
