Overview
Banyan Security provides Zero Trust Network Access with a strong emphasis on continuous device trust, acquired by SonicWall in 2023 to anchor its cloud secure access. It grants least-privilege access to applications, servers, and infrastructure based on identity and device posture.
What it is good at
Banyan's device-trust scoring continuously evaluates the security posture of the connecting device and factors it into access decisions, which suits organizations that want access tied to both identity and endpoint health. It covers web apps, SSH, RDP, and Kubernetes.
Where it falls short
It is now part of SonicWall, so its roadmap sits within that portfolio, and it is a focused ZTNA rather than a full SASE stack.
Pricing
Quote-based, through SonicWall.
Best for, and who should look elsewhere
Choose Banyan for device-trust-centric ZTNA. Look elsewhere for converged SASE or a fully independent vendor.
Bottom line
A device-trust-focused ZTNA now part of SonicWall, strong when endpoint posture must gate access.
