12Port Zero Trust Platform Use Cases
12Port offers rapid, agentless installation with automated updates across Linux and Windows, supports high availability and peer nodes for scalability, simplifies asset management through import and tagging, and integrates with enterprise authentication and multi-tenant architectures, delivering deployment flexibility that meets the needs of modern, complex environments.
Simplifying Installation and Maintenance for Complex Environments
Deploying and maintaining security software can be a significant challenge, especially in complex network environments. The 12Port Zero Trust Platform is designed to make deployment effortless and scalable, whether on-premises or in the cloud, minimizing operational overhead while maximizing reliability and performance.
Rapid, Agentless Deployment Across Platforms
12Port supports agentless deployment on both Linux and Windows systems, allowing organizations to avoid the complexity and risks of installing endpoint agents. Deployment is self-hosted and flexible, supporting on-premises data centers or cloud infrastructures to ensure data sovereignty. Installation and updates are automated, typically completed within five minutes, ensuring rapid time-to-value and easy ongoing maintenance.
High Availability and Scalability with Peer Nodes
To ensure continuous operation and fault tolerance, the platform supports high availability configurations. Peer Nodes extend deployment reach by enabling secure remote access and script execution (including credential rotation) across isolated networks, facilitating scalability and robust architecture that adapts to organizational growth.
Seamless Asset Integration and Tagging
Assets can be imported from multiple sources such as CSV files, Active Directory, AWS, Azure, and VMWare. Automated tagging and customizable tagging rules simplify asset identity and categorization policy assignment, reducing the need for manual management.
Robust Authentication and Multi-Tenant Support
The 12Port Zero Trust Platform integrates seamlessly with enterprise authentication systems including SSO, LDAP, Active Directory, Entra ID, and embedded user directories. Multi-factor authentication options such as TOTP, HOTP (YubiKey), email verification, Duo Security, and RADIUS further enhance security. Multi-tenant capabilities and a hierarchical space (site) model support complex organizational structures with delegated management.
Why Deployment Flexibility Matters
Fast and flexible deployment reduces barriers to adoption, accelerates protection across diverse environments, and lowers total cost of ownership. By supporting various infrastructures and authentication systems, 12Port fits naturally within existing IT ecosystems, making secure access and segmentation easier to achieve and maintain.
