Secure Links with End-to-End Encrypted AppLinks

The CoIP Access Platform AppLink enables enterprises to easily and elastically connect and protect distributed applications in untrusted environments.  It provides end-to-end encrypted links for traffic traversing the SASE overlay – from the OS of the source right into the OS of the destination.

AppLinks wrap application traffic in mutually authenticated TLS 1.3 tunnels, providing an additional layer of protection for legacy applications that either don't use encryption or haven't been updated to the latest secure ciphers.

AppLink: On-Demand, and Application-Specific

CoIP Access Platform features a default deny model, in which communications between hosts are assumed to be unauthorized. When a software application attempts to communicate with a remote server, CoIP Access Platform leverages Zero Trust principles to handle the request: the identity of the users, endpoints, and software applications involved and the global policy determines if the access is authorized. If authorized, an AppLink session tunnel is set up with security filters providing minimal application connectivity, and once the application traffic terminates, the AppLink tunnel is torn down.

Unlike a VPN and firewall-based access solution, which don't support Zero Trust minimal connectivity and are always-on, CoIP Access Platform checks security policies for each new flow, periodically re-verifying trust factors during the active session.

Secure WAN and LAN Connectivity

The CoIP Access Platform SASE overlay supports AppLink session tunnels directly between remote hosts that in siloed network domains (WAN mode), using existing provisioned links (e.g. SD-WAN or MPLS) or the Internet for backhaul.

AppLink session tunnels can also be used in a flat network, where micro-segmentation and LAN encryption are desired (LAN mode).

See what our customers have to say

“CoIP gives you the security that you need, and at the same time, overlay networking gives you a level of agility that you just don’t have today in a traditional infrastructure.”

Luis Espinoza, Senior IT Manager Global Operations, Mentor Graphics - A Siemens Business

“Traditionally, this kind of thing would’ve taken many weeks to complete (if allowed at all), but we were able to put them in place during 30-minute meetings. We definitely would recommend this technology to folks who would like to extend their internal environments to the cloud.”

Director, a Fortune 500 customer

“Zentera stands out from other platforms due to their focused ability to allow enterprises to control workloads and avoid the risk of disrupting existing corporate infrastructure.”

CIO Review

“With the CoIP Access Platform, we are able to protect our IP and segment our resources across worldwide infrastructures almost instantly.”

Cally Ko, CIO, Delta Electronics

“CoIP Access Platform’s best-in-class micro-segmentation keeps our customers secure, and we and our customers have saved a significant amount of time in configuration and deployment.”

Andrew Hamilton, CTO, Cybriant
