HIDDEN COSTS

The Cost of Network-Level Access for Narrow Workflows

Traditional access models force broad network connectivity for specific browser-based tasks, creating unnecessary distance and operational weight between users and their work.

THE INHERITED MODEL

The Weight of Accumulated Access Infrastructure

Broad Access for Narrow Tasks

Forcing a full VPN tunnel for simple web-app interaction introduces a level of network complexity that modern workflows no longer require.

Centralized Inspection Detours

Backhauling browser traffic to distant cloud points adds latency that operators have normalized as the unavoidable cost of security.

Tool Sprawl Management

Maintaining the “Machine” of proxies, VDIs, and tunnels creates an administrative burden that distracts teams from higher-value security initiatives.

SLOW, FRAGILE SECURITY

When Security Decouples from the Point of Use

Enforcement at a Distance

Making security decisions far from the browser session creates a mismatch between where work happens and where it is protected.

The Latency of Transit

Treating the browser as a transit point rather than an enforcement point introduces friction that degrades the user experience.

Fragile Connectivity Chains

Layering legacy tools for web access creates a rigid architecture that is difficult to scale and easy for attackers to pivot around.

THE SOLUTION

Aligning Enforcement with Operational Reality

Direct Browser Enforcement

Secure access where users interact, eliminating tunnels for browser-based work.

Localized Decision Making

Apply Zero Trust policies in real-time within the browser, so security moves at user speed.
