Stage 01
Identify user and device
Each user and device is verified before access is granted. Role-based policy, BYOD, and provisioning through LDAP, RADIUS, and enterprise identity systems are supported.
Output: Verified user and device context
Xcitium offering
Access policies for users, devices and applications. Access is granted to specific resources and can be reassessed using session, device state, location and user role.

Zero Trust access for users and devices
Universal ZTNA combines role- and application-based access, continuous verification, and adaptive policy for local and remote users. Access is scoped to specific resources and applications rather than the entire network.
Stage 01
Each user and device is verified before access is granted. Role-based policy, BYOD, and provisioning through LDAP, RADIUS, and enterprise identity systems are supported.
Output: Verified user and device context
Stage 02
Location, device state, application state, and session context inform adaptive policy. Policies can use MFA, geofencing, and device controls.
Output: Policy decision for the user and application
Stage 03
Least-privilege policy limits access to the applications and resources the user needs, using application-level access instead of broad network access.
Output: Scoped access to an application
Stage 04
User behavior, device state, and location are monitored. A change in context or state can trigger re-authentication and policy-based access adjustment.
Output: Ongoing verification, alerts, and adaptive access
Capabilities
Users and devices are checked before access, with sessions assessed through continuous authentication. A change in context can trigger re-authentication.
User- and application-specific policies limit access to assigned resources instead of granting broad network access. Temporary access can be limited to an application and duration.
A change in location, device, or app state can adjust access and trigger re-authentication. Validate which device signals are collected and how risk rules work in a pilot.
Universal ZTNA provides application-focused access for local and remote users. Map the resource catalogue, identity provider, and traffic path to the selected deployment model.
Microsoft Intune and Jamf integrations, BYOD, LDAP/RADIUS provisioning, MFA, geofencing, firewall, and IPS support access and device controls. User tracking, internet usage, and alerts provide operational visibility.
Compare approaches
| Consideration | ZTNA | SD-WAN |
|---|---|---|
| Decision object | Which user or device can access which application. | Which WAN link carries traffic and with what priority. |
| Primary signal | Identity, role, device posture, location, and session context. | Link performance, application, bandwidth, and route. |
| Control | Least-privilege policy and continuous access checks. | Path selection, QoS, load balancing, and network security. |
| Working together | Controls which resources a user can reach. | Controls how permitted traffic is transported across the WAN. |
Before you start
Start with one remote and one office user group, plus one on-prem and one SaaS resource. Record how role, device, location, and session changes affect policy decisions.
Which applications are published as resources, and how is the access path configured?
How do IdP, MFA, LDAP/RADIUS, Intune, and Jamf integrations work?
Which re-authentication and block rules apply when device or location changes?
What are the BYOD privacy boundary and log retention terms?
In practice
A remote employee needs one business application from a personal device. ZTNA evaluates user and device context and grants resource-level access instead of opening a broad network tunnel.
What your team gains
Consistent access rules for remote and local users.
Access scoped to specific applications instead of the full network.
Options for BYOD and device-management scenarios with Intune or Jamf.
Before you decide
Users and devices are checked before application access and during sessions; role- and application-specific policies provide least-privilege access. Validate resource and identity integrations for the deployment.
Xcitium provides BYOD, access decisions using device and location context, and Intune and Jamf deployment integrations. Test management and personal-profile boundaries separately.
Xcitium ZTNA supports LDAP and RADIUS provisioning and enterprise identity systems. Microsoft Intune and Jamf are device-management integrations; check compatibility with the organization’s IdP and MFA setup.
