Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access vs. Cisco Universal ZTNA: All you need to know

Can my Ivanti VPN and Ivanti ZTNA solutions co-exist?

Ivanti's Neurons for Secure Access solution lets Ivanti customers transition seamlessly from Ivanti Connect Secure VPN to Ivanti Neurons. This allows ZTNA and VPN to coexist through a unified endpoint client that supports secure access, zero trust access, network access control, endpoint compliance and captive portal features on the same endpoint. Ivanti uses a software-defined perimeter (SDP) architecture, separating the control plane (cloud-based SaaS) from the data plane (on-premises gateways). Data flows directly and securely from gateway to endpoint, never traversing the SaaS control plane.

What integration capabilities does Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access have?

Using a cloud-native architecture, Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access delivers a proven, familiar, cloud-based SaaS service. It natively provides SAML integration and local authentication access and can integrate with Active Directory or LDAP when using Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) as a SAML identity provider. The solution easily integrates with existing network and security components, prioritizing security without compromising your user experience.

How does Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access reduce latency?

Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access reduces latency through optimized gateway selection, dynamic traffic routing and load balancing, ensuring seamless connectivity by preventing overloads and re-routing traffic to the best available path. This enhances performance and minimizes delays for users.

If I have Ivanti VPN, how easy is it to transition to zero trust?

Ivanti’s VPN uses a zero-trust framework, making the transition to zero trust easy for customers. Ivanti offers several different security modernization paths to guide migration for a smooth and flexible process. With features like Application Visibility, Ivanti Neurons for Secure Access provides L7 insight into application usage and user access, establishing a baseline policy foundation even before you fully switch to ZTA — a unique approach unmatched by competitors. This gives you a seamless, direct migration and serves as a transitional solution, using a cloud-based virtual appliance approach and on-premises gateways for a full zero-trust implementation.
