iboss Zero Trust Edge for Azure

iboss Zero Trust SASE Gateways for Azure
This offering deploys iboss containerized gateways directly inside your Microsoft Azure or Azure Government environment, where they become a native extension of the iboss Zero Trust SASE cloud service. The gateways run within your own Azure tenant and VNet, so your traffic and data stay inside your environment, yet they are fully provisioned, configured, updated, scaled, and managed by the iboss cloud service. You get in-Azure data locality and control without the operational burden of deploying, patching, or maintaining security appliances.
Because the security stack runs inside Azure itself rather than backhauling traffic to an external service, iboss inspects and protects your Azure-resident applications and data where they live, improving security, performance, and user experience while eliminating hairpinning.

Common use cases

Secure outbound traffic from Azure resources. Gateways inspect and protect all outbound traffic originating from your Azure workloads, applications, and services, applying the full iboss security stack (Secure Web Gateway, AI/ML DLP, AI-powered CASB, and advanced malware defense) to every request. As the in-Azure control point, the gateways enforce egress control so that only authorized outbound connections leave your environment, preventing data exfiltration and command-and-control activity from compromised workloads.

ZTNA inbound concentrator for remote access to Azure resources. Gateways act as a Zero Trust inbound access point, allowing remote and hybrid users to securely reach private applications and resources inside your Azure VNet without exposing those resources to the public internet. Access is identity-based and application-level, with continuous verification and device posture assessment. Applications remain hidden, lateral movement is prevented, and there is no broad network-level access. This replaces inbound VPN concentrators with true Zero Trust Network Access.

These are dedicated, per-customer gateways, not shared infrastructure. iboss' patented containerized architecture gives each customer isolated gateways with no shared proxies, no co-mingled data, and no shared SSL/TLS decryption keys, plus dedicated IP addresses included by default. This applies a higher bar of Zero Trust by anchoring your tenant's unique IP address to your Microsoft Azure Tenant ID.

Whether securing outbound traffic, brokering inbound access, or both, the gateways enforce the full iboss Zero Trust SASE security stack against every request: Secure Web Gateway, AI-powered signatureless CASB, AI/ML Data Loss Prevention with OCR and Microsoft Information Protection enforcement, GenAI protection, browser isolation, advanced malware defense, ZTNA, and SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM). The same policies and visibility apply consistently whether traffic originates in Azure, on the public internet, or in your data center, eliminating the need for legacy firewalls, web gateway proxies, and VPNs.

iboss and Microsoft have developed deep integrations across the Microsoft E5 security suite, including Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Purview and Information Protection (MIP), Microsoft Copilot monitoring, Azure, and Microsoft 365.
