Banyan vs Zentera Systems Cloud-Over-IP Access comparison

Traditional secure remote access solutions like VPNs don’t work anymore for today’s world where users, devices, and applications are highly distributed and dynamic. We need three foundational building blocks to provide a complete solution:

1. Quantified Trust: User and device trust are no longer black or white, but rather like shades of grey where depending on the security posture the same user and device may be allowed different levels of access.

2. Continuous Authorization: The channel cannot be validated with just one-time authorization, but rather needs to be continuous authorized based on zero day attacks, unauthorized user activity.

3. Decentralized Enforcement: The access enforcement cannot be centralized to handle the large scale and security concerns of modern enterprises. We need a highly distributed architecture that scales with applications and clouds.

Cloud over IP (CoIP) is the next-generation virtual overlay network that is secure, portable, easy to implement, and does not disrupt the existing enterprise network or perimeter security infrastructure. CoIP implements an overlay network for hybrid cloud applications that enables migration from the enterprise to the cloud while shielding applications running in a hybrid cloud environment. In sum, CoIP provides the cloud ecosystem with the security, ease of deployment and accelerated time-to-production that will drive widespread cloud adoption.
