Zero Trust Application Access with APM

Zero Trust access – without ripping out what already works.

Users work from anywhere, applications run everywhere, and the perimeter VPN that once connected them has become the weakest link. F5 BIG-IP APM has grown into a Zero Trust access platform: an identity-aware proxy that checks user, device and context on every request, federates with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta and Ping, and still integrates with the Kerberos, RADIUS and legacy applications you cannot replace.

JustADC designs and builds access policies that are secure by default and simple to operate.

Instead of putting users on the network and hoping the applications can defend themselves, an identity-aware proxy puts the policy in front of every application: who you are, what device you are on, where you are and what you are asking for – evaluated on every request, not just at login.

What we build

  • Identity Aware Proxy – per-request access policies that combine identity, group membership, device posture and risk into allow, step-up or deny decisions for web applications and APIs.
  • Application publishing – internal web applications, SharePoint, Exchange and custom applications published to the Internet without a VPN, with single sign-on to the application behind the proxy.
  • Webtops and portals – one landing page listing every application a user is entitled to, branded and integrated with your identity provider.
  • Virtual desktops – Citrix and Omnissa Horizon delivered through APM, replacing separate gateways with one policy engine.
  • Network Access where it is still needed – SSL VPN for the administrators and thick-client applications that Zero Trust proxies cannot yet serve, with the same posture checks and MFA.

Why APM for Zero Trust

You already own it, it sits in the traffic path, and it speaks every protocol your estate uses – SAML, OAuth and OpenID Connect on the front; Kerberos, NTLM, header and form-based single sign-on on the back. That lets you move applications to Zero Trust one at a time, without waiting for them to be rewritten.
