Zero Trust Network Access, without the enterprise project.

What Zero Trust Network Access means

A traditional network trusts whoever is inside it. Once someone connects to the office network or the VPN, every server on it is within reach, and a single stolen password exposes all of them.

Zero Trust Network Access turns that around. Every connection is checked against an identity and a policy, every time, and access is given per service instead of per network. A contractor who needs one database sees one database, not your file server, your printers and your build machines.

How Project Zero does it

• Every device gets its own cryptographic identity when it joins your account.
• Each shared service gets a dark address, such as sql.acme.ziti, that only devices you allow can resolve and reach.
• Access goes to a whole company, a group inside it, one person, or whoever opens a share link you control.
• Hosting computers dial out to the network, so you don’t open inbound ports on your router or firewall.
• Traffic is encrypted end to end over OpenZiti, the open-source Zero Trust network that Project Zero is built on.

Built for teams that don’t have a security department

Enterprise ZTNA products assume an IT team to write policies, roll out agents and integrate identity providers. Project Zero starts from the other end: sign up, install the app, share a service. Companies, groups and share links are the policy, set up in the browser.

When you outgrow a self-serve plan, Actieve, the company behind Project Zero, designs and runs larger Zero Trust deployments on OpenZiti and NetFoundry. See Zero Trust services from Actieve.
