Agentless Access for Any Device, Anywhere
Give third parties instant, browser-based access to internal web apps — no client software, no VPN, no network exposure.
Why teams switch to SwiftZAccess
Zero Agents
Access granted through the browser only
Built-in WAF
Protection at the access layer, not bolted on
What is COSGrid SwiftZAccess?
COSGrid SwiftZAccess is an agentless Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) platform providing browser-based, identity-driven access to internal web applications for contractors, partners, and BYOD users — with no agent installation and no network exposure.
Key Principle
Never trust, always verify — at the application layer, not the network layer.
Challenges
Traditional Access Methods Are Broken
VDI
Expensive, slow, poor user experience, complex to manage
Agent-based ZTNA
Can't deploy agents on contractor/partner/BYOD devices

How SwiftZAccess Works
01
User Connects
Application access request initiated
The user reaches the application directly through the browser or client software. No VPN tunnel is established, enabling secure access even on unmanaged or BYOD devices.
02
Identity Verified
SSO and MFA authentication
The user identity is verified using SSO and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Access is granted only after successful authentication.
03
Context Evaluated
Device, location, and risk assessment
The platform evaluates device health, location, network, time of access, user group, and real-time risk signals. Policies are enforced before every application request.
04
Access Decided
Per-request authorization
Access is granted or denied for each application request based on current identity and context. Every request is re-authorized, ensuring policy changes take effect immediately.
Differentiators
What Sets Our SwiftZAccess Apart?
Per-Request, Not Per-Session
Per-Request, Not Per-Session
- Authorizes every request instead of relying on a single login session.
- Policy changes or user deactivation take effect on the very next request.
Real-Time Policy Propagation
Real-Time Policy Propagation
- Distributes user, policy, and team changes instantly from the management plane.
- Applies updated policies across every gateway within seconds.
Instant Kill Switch
Instant Kill Switch
- Immediately terminates user access on logout or revocation.
- Blocks contractor and third-party access without waiting for token expiration.
Rich Context in Every Decision
Rich Context in Every Decision
- Evaluates user identity, team, device OS, browser, and source IP.
- Includes geo-location, time-of-day, and day-of-week context for every application request.
Zero Client Footprint
Zero Client Footprint
- Provides secure browser-based access without installing agents.
- Supports any device while eliminating endpoint fleet management.
Deployment Freedom & Data Residency
Deployment Freedom & Data Residency

Use cases
Built for every access scenario
Grant and revoke app access instantly, no agents needed
Secure give contractors access to specific applications without installing agents on their devices. Access can be revoked the moment the engagement ends, keeping your contractor clean and controlled.
Secure personal devices without IT enrollment
Enable employees to work securely from their own devices using browser-based access with no device enrollment, no IT management overhead — just secure access from any session.
Collaborate with partners without exposing your network
Give partners short-term or demand-based access to shared applications with policies ensuring your internal company data. Visibility into what they access are aware.
Issue time-limited elevated access with full audit control
Grant short-term or demand-based access to critical applications with granular controls and a complete audit trail. Every session is logged and recorded and access can expire.
COSGrid SwiftZAccess - FAQs
Have a question about SwiftZAccess?
What is SwiftZAccess?
SwiftZAccess is COSGrid's agentless Zero Trust Network Access solution that lets users securely reach internal applications through a browser — with nothing to install. Identity and policy checks happen at the network layer, not the device, making it the right access model for contractors, BYOD users, auditors, and any scenario where installing software on the endpoint is impractical or against policy.
How is SwiftZAccess different from MicroZAccess? Both products deliver Zero Trust access, but they serve different device scenarios. MicroZAccess is agent-based Mesh ZTNA for managed corporate devices requiring always-on, multi-application, posture-checked connectivity. SwiftZAccess is agentless and browser-based for unmanaged devices — no agent, no network-layer changes on the endpoint. Most organizations deploy both: MicroZAccess for their managed fleet, SwiftZAccess for contractors, BYOD, and brownfield environments where a second intercepting agent would conflict with an existing SASE tool.
What does "agentless ZTNA" mean, and why does it matter? Agentless ZTNA grants secure, identity-verified access to specific applications through a standard web browser, without any client software installation. It matters for three reasons: it works on devices IT doesn't manage; it avoids the agent conflicts that occur when a second intercepting stack is added to a device already running Zscaler or Netskope; and it enables access to be granted and revoked instantly without MDM involvement.
