Privileged Access and Zero Trust for Small and Midsized Businesses

Protect your business from ransomware, prevent data breaches, and reduce risks with a simple, effective, and affordable Privileged Access Management and Microsegmentation Platform.

Advanced cybersecurity shield with digital network icons for online protection.
Small and Medium Businesses
Small and medium businesses face the same cyber threats as large enterprises but without the same level of resources to defend against them. With 75% of cyber incidents now targeting SMBs, a single compromised credential or unchecked ransomware attack can put your entire business at risk.
The 12Port Zero Trust Platform combines Privileged Access Management (PAM) and microsegmentation in a single solution, delivering enterprise-grade security without the cost or complexity. PAM safeguards credentials and enables just-in-time, monitored access, while microsegmentation isolates workloads to stop lateral movement. Start with what you need and scale as you grow to keep your business secure, resilient, and compliant.

12Port simplifies Zero Trust
helping you to…

Contain Ransomware

Stop ransomware from spreading through your network by isolating infected systems and preventing lateral movement—something firewalls alone can't easily achieve.

Reduce Your Attack Surface

Limit potential entry points for attackers by securing privileged access, isolating critical systems, and applying granular security controls across your network.

Optimize IT Resources

Implement enterprise-grade zero trust security without overburdening your IT team or budget.

Improve Incident Response

Gain visibility into your network, detect anomalies and respond faster to potential threats, minimizing downtime and financial losses.

Embrace Zero Trust Principles

Implement zero trust principles by enforcing strict access controls, verifying every connection, and minimizing trust within your network.

Secure Cloud and Hybrid Environments

Apply consistent PAM and segmentation policies across on-premises and cloud workloads to contain breaches at their entry point.

Zero Trust Use Cases

Privileged access management and microsegmentation doesn’t need to be complex or overwhelming. Start by targeting the most critical or vulnerable systems. Even small, strategic Zero Trust initiatives can deliver significant security benefits.

Isolate back-office systems from customer-facing applications, preventing unnecessary access and reducing risk of lateral movement by malicious actors. This approach ensures accounting teams cannot access customer databases, while customer service representatives remain isolated from sensitive financial information, reinforcing zero trust principles.

Microsegmentation creates secure, isolated zones within virtual environments, managing and monitoring communication between resources. For small and medium-sized businesses, this means keeping critical assets—such as customer databases, financial records, and proprietary applications—separate from less sensitive systems.

By segmenting development, test, and production environments, organizations can ensure that data and processes in development do not inadvertently impact live operations. This isolation also reduces security risks by limiting access to critical production systems and preventing potential threats from moving between environments.

12Port PAM enables agentless access to privileged accounts using remote session management and secure credential injection. Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning to sensitive accounts such as a critical asset, network device, or a virtual machine ensures access is granted only when needed and revoked immediately afterward, eliminating standing privileges and minimizing attack windows.
Third-party vendors often require temporary or partial access to internal systems, making them a high-risk attack vector. PAM provides controlled, audited access for contractors and suppliers through approval-based workflows, secure session gateways, and access expiration rules. Organizations maintain visibility and control over external access without compromising security.
