MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Day-one access without day-one network merger.

Give both sides the applications they need across company lines, while the actual network integration takes the year it takes.

Book a demo

Two colleagues share a laptop between the acquiring company and the target, one access layer publishing users, applications, infrastructure and policy across both.

Two companies need each other's systems before the networks are ready

the morning after close

The morning after a deal closes, people on both sides need each other's systems: finance consolidating the numbers, integration teams getting to work, shared services starting up. The traditional answer is joining the two networks: months of VPN cross-links, IP-conflict remediation and firewall archaeology, all of it creating one merged attack surface before either side has assessed the other's hygiene.

Publish, don't joinZero Trust Application Access (ZTAA) sidesteps the network question: each population gets the specific applications it needs as portal tiles, and nothing else becomes reachable.
Federate the identitiesFederate the acquired company's identity provider or provision its people as a second source, so both sides sign in as themselves from day one.
Scoped, logged, controlledAccess across company lines is granted per application, recorded, and governed by the same session controls as everything else.

The acquirer's finance team sees

The consolidation reporting tile, from day one
Named modules in the acquired ERP
A shared-services queue scoped to the deal
Sessions logged under their own names

The acquired network stays

Unreachable from the acquirer's subnets
No VPN cross-link, no IP-conflict remediation
No shared broadcast domain to inherit
No standing route to anything unpublished

One platform, three moments in the deal.

The same publish-and-scope mechanism carries the whole arc, forwards and backwards.

Day onePublish the tiles each population needs and federate or provision the identities behind them. Access starts the morning after close, not the quarter after it.
IntegrationThe network merger runs on its own timetable, or never runs at all, because application access no longer waits on subnets, addressing or firewall rules.
DivestitureRun it in reverse: unpublish the tiles, disable the groups, and hand over a clean audit trail of what the other side could reach and when.

Use cases

Publish the applications, not the network.

Day-one access

Day-one access without day-one network merger

The morning after a deal closes, people on both sides need each other's systems. Joining the networks means VPN cross-links, IP-conflict remediation and firewall archaeology — and one merged attack surface before either side has assessed the other's hygiene. Publishing the specific applications each population needs sidesteps the network question entirely, and the integration proceeds on its own timetable.
