Products[]
NetMotion products allow users to transition from traditional secure remote access technologies to a zero-trust approach, without affecting productivity or admin controls.[18] Fundamentally, it consists of client software on each mobile device, which communicates with a control server in the cloud or data center that pushes policies and actions to the client for execution.[19] Through this architecture that gives administrators control of the endpoints, they can manage application delivery based on changing network conditions through software, regardless of the combination of networks used,[20] including cellular and Wi-Fi networks that are outside of their direct administrative control.[19]
An enhanced filtering feature named Aware was added in 2019.[21] In 2020, NetMotion’s products were merged into a single platform, and the company started providing a SASE cloud-based platform in late 2020.[22][23]
