Vendor Access Without A VPN
Give a vendor or contractor reach to the one application they need to support, over an encrypted overlay, with everything else on the network out of reach.
One private network, over the internet
What this actually does
A vendor VPN account is usually a whole subnet handed to somebody outside the company. The fix is to grant the application, not the network.
A vendor account is scoped to the one application it was approved for, such as an ERP module, a file server or a single RDP host, not the network it happens to sit on.
Application Access decides the connection by user, device, group and destination, so a vendor account cannot reach anything outside its approved scope by finding it on the subnet.
The vendor dials out over the overlay.
Nothing is published on your side, and no inbound port or public IP is opened to reach them.
Access can be time-boxed to the engagement and removed the day the contract ends, without touching a firewall rule.
Session and access events are logged against the vendor identity, so an audit question about a contractor has a direct answer.
What changes as a result
- Vendors limited to the one application they need
- No VPN client for a contractor to install and remove later
- Access revoked the day the engagement ends
- A clear answer to which vendor reached what, and when
Three ways to find out if it fits.
