Pre-access protection for internet-facing services
AND MORE
The objection, answered first
Internet-facing VPNs, portals and admin interfaces can be scanned and probed before anyone logs in. For services intended for employees, contractors or partners, that exposure creates unnecessary risk. Secfense Ghost restricts reachability to verified sources, reducing opportunities for reconnaissance and exploitation.

Where Ghost fits
Protect the services your employees, contractors and partners rely on, while reducing their exposure to the public internet.
Employee and contractor access
Partner portals
Admin interfaces and applications
Ghost works through a firewall, gateway or load balancer that you control. Your existing applications and traffic path stay in place.
How it works
Users verify their membership before your service becomes reachable. They then connect through the tools they already use.
Verify membership
Connect as usual
Access expires
Supported technologies
Secfense Ghost works with your existing VPNs and gateways. It updates the gateway allowlist after a user verifies their membership in your organization. Your existing VPN client and traffic path stay in place.

No revolution, just smart evolution
Ghost integrates with the firewall, gateway or load balancer that controls access to your service. We review your setup and configure the integration for your environment.
Your stack stays
Your existing applications and VPN clients stay in place. Ghost updates access rules at your network edge after verification.
Your infrastructure
Deployed in your environment, on-prem or in your cloud. User traffic never routes through anyone else's cloud, ours included.
No network redesign
No new tunnels, no re-architected routing, no agents to mass-deploy across the fleet. Topology stays as it is.
Nothing new for users to learn
One lightweight step before connecting: corporate e-mail confirmation or a certificate already on the device. The VPN client they know stays the same.
Ghost vs SASE / ZTNA suites
SASE is a network transformation program. Ghost is a control you switch on. Both can coexist; only one closes your exposure gap this afternoon.

Regulatory tailwind
SASE is a network transformation program. Ghost is a control you switch on. Both can coexist; only one closes your exposure gap this afternoon.
The objection, answered first
Ghost enforces default-deny rules at your network edge. A user verifies membership in your organization through corporate email or an organization-issued PKI certificate. Ghost then temporarily adds the verified source IP to the gateway allowlist. Knowing the service address alone does not grant access.
Deployment considerations
Not a patching substitute
An unreachable gateway buys you time and removes opportunistic exploitation, but vulnerable software should still be patched. Ghost shrinks the window; it doesn't close the bug.
Not a full ZTNA platform
Ghost governs who can reach the gateway, not per-application micro-segmentation behind it. If you're heading toward ZTNA, Ghost is a step on that path, not the whole path.
Not magic for every network
Environments behind CGNAT or heavily shared egress IPs need one of Ghost's alternative deployment modes. We'll tell you which one applies to you before you commit to anything.
