What is Skyhigh Security Private Access
Skyhigh Security Private Access is a zero trust network access (ZTNA) product used to provide application-level remote access to private apps without exposing them directly to the internet or extending the corporate network to the user. It targets security and network teams that need to replace or reduce VPN usage for employees and third parties accessing internal web and client/server applications. The product typically enforces identity- and context-based access policies and brokers connections through a security service rather than direct inbound access. It is positioned as part of Skyhigh Security’s broader security portfolio, which can be relevant for organizations standardizing on a single vendor for access and security controls.
Application-level access control
The product focuses on granting access to specific applications rather than providing broad network-level connectivity. This approach supports least-privilege access patterns commonly required in zero trust programs. It can reduce exposure compared with traditional remote access methods that place users on internal networks. It also aligns well with use cases involving contractors or third parties who should only reach a limited set of apps.
Policy driven by identity
Private Access is designed to make access decisions based on user identity and contextual signals rather than IP-based trust. This supports consistent access enforcement across users and locations, including remote and hybrid work. Centralized policy can simplify audits by tying access to identities and defined rules. It also helps organizations move toward a more standardized zero trust access model.
Fits broader security stack
As a Skyhigh Security product, it can be deployed as part of a broader set of security capabilities under the same vendor umbrella. For organizations consolidating vendors, this can reduce integration work compared with assembling multiple point products. Operationally, shared administration and aligned policy concepts can streamline day-to-day management. This can be useful when access controls must coordinate with other security controls in the same environment.
Not a full network fabric
ZTNA products typically focus on user-to-application access rather than end-to-end network connectivity between sites, clouds, and branches. Organizations looking for full WAN transformation, routing, and network segmentation across multiple environments may need additional networking components. This can increase architectural complexity when compared with platforms that combine access with broader network services. It is important to validate whether required site-to-site and advanced routing needs are in scope.
Connector and app onboarding effort
Private application access commonly requires deploying connectors/gateways near the protected applications and mapping applications into policies. This can add deployment steps compared with simpler remote access approaches, especially in complex environments with many apps and legacy protocols. Ongoing changes (new apps, DNS changes, certificate updates) can create operational overhead. Implementation effort varies based on application diversity and network topology.
Feature depth varies by use case
ZTNA offerings differ in protocol coverage, client requirements, and how they handle non-web applications, privileged access, and device posture checks. Some organizations may find gaps for specialized use cases (for example, certain thick-client protocols, complex authentication flows, or granular session controls) and need compensating controls. Buyers should validate logging, reporting, and integration depth with their identity provider and endpoint tooling. Proof-of-concept testing is often necessary to confirm fit for critical applications.
