Where this actually gets used
The common thread is an organisation that cannot hand its access control, or the traffic flowing through it, to someone else's cloud, whether for regulatory reasons, contractual ones, or because the network it operates in is not reliably connected at all.
The problems people bring us
These come up in almost every conversation, regardless of industry.
Contractors and personal devices
RBI, with SSO for lifecyclePeople who need access for six weeks, on hardware you will never manage and cannot legally inspect. Issuing laptops is slow and expensive; letting an unknown machine onto the network is worse.
A workforce that is no longer in one place
ZTNA and SSOStaff signing in from different countries, networks and time zones, where "unusual location" stops being a useful signal on its own and the VPN concentrator becomes the thing everyone complains about.
Privileged access to cloud consoles
SSO with ZTNA egress pinningThe accounts that can delete production. They live in public SaaS, reachable from anywhere, and a single phished credential is the whole attack.
Someone left this morning
Session termination, SLO, SCIMThe request that tests every access architecture: revoke a person's reach into everything, immediately and provably, including the SaaS platforms you do not run.
Mergers and newly acquired estates
Broker mode, per-realm policyTwo directories, two sets of conventions and an urgent need to give people access across the boundary before anyone agrees on a unified identity strategy.
Research on sites nobody will vouch for
RBI with disposable sessionsThreat intelligence, fraud investigation and supplier due diligence all mean opening links that corporate policy would rather nobody opened.
Sectors where self-hosting is the requirement
In each of these, the question "where exactly does our traffic go" has a wrong answer that ends a procurement.
Financial services
Banks, payment processors and fintech operators working under PCI DSS v4.0 and, where they touch the interbank network, SWIFT CSP v2024. Controls in EasyAccess ZTNA are mapped to both, with evidence traceable to the implementation.
Healthcare
Clinical systems reached by staff who rotate between sites and devices, where patient data must not transit a third-party cloud and access records have to survive scrutiny years later.
Government and defence
Environments that are segmented, sometimes genuinely air-gapped, and where any runtime dependency on an external service is a disqualifier rather than a detail.
Retail and e-commerce
Distributed stores and point-of-sale estates, seasonal staff, and back-office systems that must stay reachable for head office while staying invisible to everyone else.
Humanitarian organisations
Field operations on constrained links and shared hardware, where cloud-delivered security is impractical and the data being handled is often about people at risk.
Technology and SaaS
Engineering organisations whose crown jewels sit in GitHub and a cloud console, where the realistic threat is a developer credential rather than a network intrusion.
