Zero Trust Network Access by XplicitTrust

XplicitTrust extends the R&S Networks and Cybersecurity IT Security Ecosystem with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). Instead of blanket network access via VPN, users and devices are granted access only to exactly the applications and systems they need: identity-based, encrypted and continuously verified. The solution is developed and operated exclusively in Germany.

XplicitTrust presents its solution:

XplicitTrust Network Access: secure access without a traditional VPN

XplicitTrust connects users, devices and sites to approved resources via encrypted direct connections, whether in the office, working from home or on the road. Users sign in through the organisation’s existing identity management, such as Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta or Keycloak, including the multi-factor authentication already configured there. Everything is managed from a multi-tenant Admin Console hosted in German data centres.

On supported R&S®Unified Firewalls, XplicitTrust runs directly as a container, so existing infrastructure can be integrated without additional hardware.

We create synergy effects

“With XplicitTrust, we are adding Zero Trust Network Access ‘Made in Germany’ to our portfolio. Integration on R&S®Unified Firewalls enables our partners to implement secure remote access and site connectivity based on the principle of least privilege, using existing infrastructure and fully under European control. The result is an end-to-end security approach, from the network down to each individual access.”

Features at a glance

Zero Trust, consistently

Access only to explicitly approved applications and systems, based on the principle of least privilege. No blanket network access.

Identity-based

Integrates with existing identity management, including group import. Multi-factor authentication is enforced centrally there.

Fast to deploy

No manual network configuration: learning mode and automatic network discovery capture actual access patterns and help create policies.

Fast connections

Modern, lightweight encryption with direct connections between device and resource for low latency.

Full traceability

Access logging, access analytics and a graphical view of connections and topology make access and connectivity transparent.

MSP-ready

Multi-tenant platform, customer environments can be created instantly without waiting, sold exclusively through the channel.

How XplicitTrust decides on every access

Every access request is evaluated continuously based on identity, device posture, security status and location. Only when all policies are met does XplicitTrust establish an end-to-end encrypted connection: context-aware, with enforced multi-factor authentication and full transparency at connection level.

Compliance and data sovereignty

Digital sovereignty

Developed and hosted exclusively in Germany, with no dependency on US hyperscalers.

Supporting NIS2 requirements

Least-privilege access control, multi-factor authentication and traceable access as building blocks for NIS2 risk management.

Data-minimising architecture

The platform processes only the data required for operation.

Added value for system integrators and end customers

XplicitTrust replaces traditional VPN access with a solution that is more secure, easier to operate and faster to roll out. System integrators manage any number of customer environments centrally, continue to use existing R&S® infrastructure and reduce their support effort through proactive telemetry.

End customers and service providers get secure access to applications, servers and devices without opening up their entire network.
