April 2025 Summaries

Twingate is introducing a new capability called Kubernetes Access, which takes security beyond the network perimeter and into clusters themselves. This evolution of the Twingate platform provides richer access controls into Kubernetes, following zero trust principles from initial connection to specific cluster operations. The new capability allows for one authentication step instead of two, eliminates credential sprawl and associated security risks, and provides comprehensive session recording and logs available in ASCII NEMA format. It also means that users can go beyond simple identity verification and extend Twingate's robust Security Policies all the way through to clusters themselves. The new capability builds upon the existing Twingate Kubernetes Operator and is designed to provide a modern Zero Trust network that is more secure and maintainable than VPNs.

Twingate has announced the general availability of Resource Tagging, a feature that allows network administrators to add rich, contextual metadata to their network resources. This feature aims to simplify resource management and provide administrative flexibility by enabling users to easily identify and organize resources with relevant tags. The new feature includes key features such as displaying tags on multiple surfaces, searching and filtering resources with tag filters, and leveraging intelligent suggestions for tag keys and values. Additionally, Twingate has updated its Resource endpoints to support automated tag management through various tools and workflows, including API, Terraform, Pulumi, and Kubernetes Operator. The feature is designed to help users implement a modern Zero Trust network that is more secure and maintainable than traditional VPNs.
