Appgate Introduces AI-Powered Application Discovery Service to Accelerate Zero Trust Adoption

Appgate, the secure access company, has launched its new Application Discovery Service, a cloud-delivered solution designed to automate application access discovery and entitlement refinement. This innovation helps organizations simplify and accelerate their Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) adoption by providing detailed visibility into user access patterns and enforcing least-privilege access controls.

Organizations often face challenges when transitioning to Zero Trust due to limited visibility into which applications users are accessing. Many replicate outdated VPN models, unintentionally granting broad access that increases security risks. Traditional manual audits and log reviews are time-consuming, error-prone, and slow down implementation.

“Achieving true Zero Trust requires a deep understanding of user access patterns, but many organizations struggle with this due to limited visibility and manual processes,” said Michael Levy, SVP of Product Management at Appgate. “Our Application Discovery Service removes these barriers by delivering automated, data-driven insights that empower security teams to implement least-privilege access efficiently and with confidence.”

The Application Discovery Service leverages AI to analyze network connection data, uncover access behaviors, and recommend refined entitlements. By automating this process, it reduces administrative overhead, strengthens compliance, and ensures faster enforcement of Zero Trust policies.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Faster Zero Trust Deployment: Automates entitlement refinement to reduce implementation time.
• Enhanced Security: Enforces application-specific controls to minimize lateral movement and unauthorized access.
• Operational Efficiency: Eliminates manual discovery tasks, freeing IT and security teams for strategic priorities.
• Regulatory Compliance: Aligns with compliance standards through granular least-privilege access policies.
• Seamless User Experience: Ensures smooth access while entitlements are refined in the background.

“Appgate’s Application Discovery Service has been a force multiplier in our Zero Trust adoption,” said Sean Calista, Director of Information Security at CloudZero. “We’ve been able to enforce least-privilege access with surgical precision while maintaining a seamless user experience and keeping the business moving.”

Sean Glansbeek, CEO of Private Protocol, added, “Understanding and controlling application access is a critical component of Zero Trust. Appgate’s service provides unmatched visibility, making entitlement refinement and enforcement of least-privilege policies easier and more effective.”

The Application Discovery Service is now generally available for customers running Appgate ZTNA v6.5 and above.
