The new LANCOM Trusted Access Client enables secure and scalable network access for employees in the office, at home or on the go, thereby protecting modern hybrid working from anywhere and at any time.
Through complete integration into the LANCOM Management Cloud, commissioning and configuration are “zero-touch” for easy and quick rollout of new remote access connections. The LANCOM Trusted Access solution dynamically adapts to increasing security requirements.
Zero trust from SMEs to enterprises
LANCOM Trusted Access supports both classic full network access as a VPN client as well as the migration to a zero trust security architecture with comprehensive network security - for small commercial businesses through to large enterprise customers. Up to 3 devices are supported per network participant.
Granular access control based on the zero trust principle
By granting access according to the zero trust principle of “as much as necessary, as little as possible”, the LANCOM Trusted Access Client protects networks from threats and their spread. This means: No blind trust based on successful network access. The LTA client verifies each user and only grants access to dedicated applications activated for a user group. This minimizes attack opportunities and prevents lateral spread of security threats in the network.
Use as a cloud-managed VPN client
For full access to a network, the LANCOM Trusted Access Client can also be used as a cloud-managed VPN client in order to securely and centrally manage the VPN connections of mobile employees.
Cloud management
In all operating modes, security profiles, client configuration and monitoring are rolled out via the LANCOM Management Cloud, which acts as a central point and centrally manages all LANCOM network components. Configuration changes can be made easily and efficiently and new users can be easily added or removed without the IT administrator and end device having to be physically on site. This practical administration paired with transparent user monitoring via the LANCOM Management Cloud reduces operating costs because all clients in the network are centrally accessible and accessible at a glance.
Integration of existing user databases
Network user authentication occurs via a central user database (“Identity Provider”, for example an Active Directory such as Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure AD). Alternatively, user management integrated into the LANCOM Management Cloud is available for smaller companies without a central user database.
Endpoint security and multi-factor authentication
Before a user is granted access, endpoint security can also be checked in terms of operating system version, virus protection and local firewall. Each user must also have their identity verified and have strong authentication before gaining access to an application or resource. Applications and resources are not exposed across the network, keeping the network invisible to attackers. In addition, two-factor or multi-factor authentication with fingerprint, facial recognition or an authentication app on the smartphone may be required when logging in.
Complete integration into the LANCOM Management Cloud
The LANCOM Management Cloud offers fully integrated management of all LANCOM network components (routers / gateways, firewalls, switches and access points) including the LANCOM Trusted Access Client. The management of the underlying security policies for all users in the network is also carried out centrally via the LMC. A LANCOM Trusted Access Real-Time Dashboard is available to administrators for comprehensive diagnostics and troubleshooting.
100% digital sovereignty, 100% GDPR compliant
The LANCOM Trusted Access Client and the LANCOM Management Cloud are developed in Germany, and all cloud data is hosted in local data centers. Only the data exchange for user authentication takes place via the LANCOM Management Cloud; all other user data runs directly between the LANCOM Trusted Access Client and LANCOM Trusted Access Gateway - without being decoupled via an external cloud. The LANCOM Trusted Access Client therefore stands for the highest level of data security and data protection. It is subject to and complies with European legal standards, is therefore GDPR-compliant and an IT security solution “Made in Germany”.
