The LANCOM Trusted Access client is the trusted network access security solution for enterprise networks. It enables secure and scalable network access for employees in the office, at home, or on the road, thus protecting modern hybrid working from anywhere, at any time. The LANCOM Trusted Access solution adapts to the increasing security requirements of enterprises. It supports not only classic full network access as a cloud-managed VPN client, but also the migration to a zero-trust security architecture with the maximum possible network security. In the latter case, users receive granular access rights only to those applications that have been assigned to them (zero-trust principle). Existing systems for administering users and user groups (Active Directory) can be fully integrated into the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC). For smaller networks, the LMC alternatively offers internal user administration.

LANCOM Trusted Access is GDPR-compliant and flexibly scalable—for small businesses up to large enterprise customers. Up to three devices are supported per network user.

Granular access control based on the zero-trust principle

By assigning access permissions according to the zero-trust principle “as much as necessary, as little as possible”, the Trusted Access client protects networks from threats and their propagation. What this means is: Successful network authentication is not the same as blind trust. The LANCOM Trusted Access client verifies each user and grants access only to dedicated applications that are specifically enabled for a user group. This minimizes the potential for attack and prevents security threats from spreading laterally in the network.

Cloud-managed VPN client

For full access to a network, the LANCOM Trusted Access client can also be used as a cloud-managed VPN client for the secure and central management of VPN connections of mobile employees.

Cloud management cuts operating costs

In all operating modes, the roll-out of security profiles, client configuration, and monitoring are performed via the LANCOM Management Cloud, a central instance for the management of all LANCOM network components. Changes to the configuration are easy and efficient, and new users can be easily added or removed without requiring the IT administrator and the end device to be physically on site. This convenient management, coupled with transparent user monitoring via the LANCOM Management Cloud, reduces operating costs by making all clients on the network centrally accessible in an instant.

Endpoint security and multi-factor authentication

Before a user is granted access, the endpoint security can be checked in terms of operating system version. Each user must also verify their identity before gaining access to an application or resource. Applications and resources are not displayed across the whole network, making them invisible to potential attackers. Also, multi-factor authentication by means of fingerprint, face recognition, or a smartphone-based authentication app can be required when logging in.

Integration of existing user databases

Network user authentication runs via a central user database (an identity provider, e.g. an Active Directory such as Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure AD). As an alternative for smaller companies that do not have a central user database, the LANCOM Management Cloud offers its own integrated user management.

Full integration into the LANCOM Management Cloud

The LANCOM Management Cloud offers fully integrated management of all LANCOM network components (routers / gateways, firewalls, switches and Wi-Fi access points) including the LANCOM Trusted Access client. The underlying security policies for all network users are also managed centrally via the LANCOM Management Cloud. Administrators can use the LANCOM Trusted Access Real-Time Dashboard for comprehensive diagnostics and troubleshooting.

100% digital sovereignty, 100% GDPR compliant

The LANCOM Trusted Access client and the LANCOM Management Cloud are developed in Germany. All cloud data is hosted in local data centers. The only data exchanged with the LMC is that required for user authentication, all other traffic data runs directly between the LANCOM Trusted Access client and the LANCOM Trusted Access gateway—without break-outs through an external cloud. The LANCOM Trusted Access client stands for maximum data security and data protection. It is subject to and complies with European legal standards, making it a GDPR-compliant IT-security solution engineered in Germany.

The LANCOM Trusted Access (LTA) client is available for macOS versions from macOS 11 (Big Sur) to the current macOS 15 (Sequoia). Use of the LTA client requires a valid LTA license in the associated LMC project. Licenses with various terms are available (1, 3 and 5 years) and in different volumes (1 / 10 / 25 / 100 / 250 / 1000 users).

Notice:

The LANCOM Trusted Access client requires the LANCOM router that is the central access gateway to operate the firmware version LCOS 10.80, and the LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewalls to operate at least LCOS FX 10.13.
