Device-Centric SSE Benefits

Device-centric SSE is revolutionary, providing organizations with considerable benefits including:

User Experience

  • Superior performance vs. cloud-centric solutions
  • Low latency, always-on, not always inline security delights users

Security

  • Continuous authorization driven by advanced user/device/resource risk modeling
  • Existing security telemetry (e.g., EDR) factored into real-time evaluation

Data Privacy

  • Traffic not inspected in vendor cloud
  • Flexible Edge provides full control of data plane

Simplicity and Cost

  • Easier to buy, deploy, manage, and use
  • Lower bandwidth consumption
  • Fewer helpdesk tickets
  • Faster onboarding / offboarding

Device-Centric Intelligence

Decisions on how to best route traffic are made instantly on the user’s device without having to send traffic to the cloud.

Unique Flexible Edge Makes Deployments a Snap

Not all deployments are the same. Banyan’s Flexible Edge is a cloud-native approach which leverages the public internet without requiring network tunnels or MitM clouds resulting in a highly performant, yet scalable solution that doesn’t risk privacy or data sovereignty. Only Banyan flexibly supports cloud IaaS (Global Edge) while also offering the option for enterprises to self-host their edge (Private Edge).

Banyan App

The Banyan app allows users to self-register devices and enjoy one-click access to a personalized catalog of corporate resources (websites, infrastructure, networks).

Cloud Command Center

Admins use a SaaS management interface to publish private applications and services for their end users. Access policies are written in human-readable syntax based on user identity and device trust, integrated with corporate identity and endpoint security tools.

Distributed Access Tiers

Users connect to their resources via a Banyan-managed single-tenant private edge network, comprised of Banyan Access Tiers deployed in the internet-facing DMZ of your on-premises and cloud environments. This cloud-native, identity-aware proxy is designed for scalable deployment and cloud-based management.

Global Edge Network

Users connect to their resources via Banyan’s globally-distributed high-performance edge network. A Banyan Connector deployed in your on-premises or cloud environment dials out to create a secure tunnel with Banyan’s Global Edge Network, needing no inbound firewall rules or complex DMZ architectures.

Built Using Modern Methods

Banyan’s solution isn’t some legacy software that was running on an obsolete hardware appliance and then virtualized to extend its life. Our solution was built for the cloud using modern methods and technologies, resulting in unmatched performance and reliability.

Enhanced Portability

Banyan’s Cloud Command Center and Flexible Edge, both connectors and access tiers, are easily deployed in containers anywhere. Both are cloud-service provider (CSP) and hypervisor-aware delivering better performance, better security, and higher reliability regardless of where they are deployed.

Device-Centric Intelligence

Our device-centric approach is also vastly superior to competitor’s legacy models. Modern devices have the processing power to enable local functionality that improves the end user experience, minimizes the need to send traffic for inspection, and truly allows for a secure mobile workforce.

Flexible Open Architecture

Using industry standards such as APIs, JSON, SAML, and OIDC, our solution easily integrates with the software and processes that organizations already have in place. Our solution can be fully deployed and managed using APIs allowing for 100% compatibility with your DevOps and IT systems. We pride ourselves in playing well with everything else you’ve worked hard to deploy.

No-Code Legacy & SaaS App Upgrades

Easily add multi-factor authentication (MFA) and device-awareness to legacy applications and SaaS applications without code changes. This results in a consistent security and access policy regardless of where the application lives and when it was developed. For end users, single sign-on can also be configured, freeing them from having to guess about how to log in to certain apps or being prompted over and over for credentials.

“No Surprises” Pricing Model

Unlike other vendors, Banyan simply charges per user. There are no hidden/additional fees or limits for connectors/gateways, number of devices, applications, or throughput.
