Blue Cedar Connect by Blue Cedar provides zero-trust access from mobile apps and is ideal for BYOD environments and unmanaged devices. It embeds in-app zero-trust connectivity and granular control over network traffic routing. Traffic from different mobile apps is kept separate, and apps can be prevented from exchanging data. Blue Cedar Connect ensures that end-users do not need to remember to turn the device-level VPN on and off or use a separate VPN client app. It uses advanced encryption protocols and secure network connectivity techniques for secure access to firewalled data. It supports popular authentication mechanisms and complies with government connectivity requirements. Blue Cedar Connect works with existing VPN equipment, including Cisco ASA. For new installations, consider the Blue Cedar Connect Gateway. It gathers app and device posture data from unmanaged and managed devices, providing posture information such as OS version, jailbreak/root detection, or device screen lock. It rapidly identifies users of apps or endpoints by federating identity with Azure Active Directory, Ping, or the Blue Cedar Platform. Various authentication mechanisms, including OAuth, certificates, or username and password, are supported. Blue Cedar Connect performs the same trust level assessment as Blue Cedar Enforce. It allows seamless, secure, mobile-optimized access to firewalled data without a separate remote-access client, utilizing app-level trust information to create a complete ZTNA solution for the mobile edge.
