Implement Zero Trust Faster
Zero trust is a must, but implementation is a challenge. Extreme Platform ONE Security reduces complexity by combining cloud NAC and ZTNA, managed by a single, identity-based policy engine. Implement zero trust in hours instead of weeks with guided setup, pre-integrations with Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace, and Okta, along with automated enforcement through Extreme wireless, wired and fabric.
Network Security
Scale Zero Trust with Extreme Fabric
Inconsistent policy enforcement can leave gaps as the network changes. Extreme Platform ONE brings Extreme’s secure network fabric and Extreme Platform ONE Security together to automatically apply a security policy as the network changes. Extreme Fabric secures new services instantly with automated microsegmentation while reducing the attack surface with stealth topology.
Strengthen Wireless Security at the Edge
Wireless networks are often the weakest link in enterprise security. But Extreme’s built-in wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) helps ensure a secure, always-on wireless experience. It goes beyond rogue detection to deliver real-time threat mitigation, cloud-based policy management, and forensics insights.
Automate Policy Enforcement with One Click
Manual security configuration is time-consuming and error-prone. With one click, Extreme automates access policy enforcement across its Universal Wired and Wireless hardware, reducing operational overhead while maintaining consistent zero-trust protection.
Securely Connect Everyone, Everywhere
Organizations are struggling with securing hybrid work. Extreme makes it easy with integrated Al-native cloud networking and security solutions.

FAQs
-
Network security is the practice of protecting your organization’s data, applications, and infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, or disruption. It ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability across all network layers.
-
Extreme Platform ONE Security provides integrated security capabilities that combine zero-trust principles, microsegmentation, and cloud-driven policy enforcement. It delivers unified visibility and control across wired, wireless, and SD-WAN environments, simplifying compliance and reducing risk.
-
It works by applying layered defenses such as authentication, encryption, segmentation, and threat detection across end points, applications, and network traffic. Policies and controls ensure only trusted users and devices access resources.

- Identity-based Access Control
- Firewalls and Intrusion Prevention
- Encryption
- Segmentation and Microsegmentation
- Monitoring and Analytics
- Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
-
It enables business continuity, safeguards sensitive data, and ensures regulatory compliance. A breach can lead to financial loss, reputational damage, and operational downtime.
-
Basic security starts with strong authentication and network segmentation ensuring only authorized users and devices access critical resources.
-
Extreme delivers end-to-end security: universal zero-trust network access (UZTNA), automated microsegmentation and encryption—all managed via Extreme Platform ONE for simplicity and scalability.
-
Zero trust is a security model that assumes no entity inside or outside the network is trusted by default. Access is granted only after strict identity verification and policy checks.
-
Zero trust eliminates implicit trust, reducing attack surfaces. It enforces the “never trust, always verify” principle, ensuring that every user, device, and application is continuously authenticated and authorized.
-
Universal ZTNA extends zero trust principles across all network edges—campus, branch, data center, and cloud—providing consistent security policies and user experience regardless of location or device. Here is how it works:
- Authentication and authorization: Universal ZTNA begins by verifying the identity of users and devices attempting to access resources. This is achieved through multi-factor authentication (MFA) and other identity verification techniques. User roles, device health, and contextual factors such as location and time of access are evaluated to determine authorization.
- Policy enforcement: Once authenticated, the user or device is granted access only to the specific applications or resources for which they are authorized. Policies are defined centrally and applied uniformly across all environments, ensuring consistent access control. Policies may include additional conditions, such as requiring end point security solutions to be active or restricting access from high-risk locations.
- Granular access control: Unlike traditional network access solutions, universal ZTNA ensures users never gain broad network access. Instead, access is granted on a per-resource basis, minimizing the attack surface. Internal services remain hidden from public exposure, reducing the risk of exploitation by malicious actors.
- Continuous monitoring and verification: Universal ZTNA solutions continuously monitor user activity and device behavior. Suspicious activities trigger alerts or result in immediate termination of access. This dynamic approach allows organizations to adapt to evolving threats in real time.
- Integration with existing systems: Universal ZTNA integrates seamlessly with identity and access management (IAM) systems, security information and event management (SIEM) platforms, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to enhance security posture.
