Case Study: Blend achieves secure Zero Trust access with Twingate

Blend implements Zero Trust in under 15 minutes with Twingate

Blend, a financial technology company, faced significant challenges in managing employee access as it scaled. The security team was overwhelmed by manual, time-consuming access requests for a growing number of applications and cloud resources, which also involved managing multiple inconsistent VPN solutions. To build a holistic zero trust strategy, they adopted solutions from Twingate and Opal to decentralize management and reduce friction.

By implementing Twingate's Zero Trust Network Access solution, Blend replaced its complex VPN infrastructure, simplifying network access controls and integrating seamlessly with their identity provider. This allowed them to grant specific, short-lived network access. Combined with Opal's centralized authorization platform for self-service application access, Twingate helped Blend implement a secure-by-default zero trust architecture. The result was a major reduction in the IT support workload and a more secure, maintainable environment where employees could access resources easily without knowing the security systems were in place.
