Enable connectivity to these apps without risking public exposure.
Control access per runner and repo with Grants and Tailscale’s adaptive policy engine.
Get fine-grained control that enforces least-privilege access.
Session recording, log streaming, and more let you know exactly what’s happening.
From end-to-end encryption to device postures, ensure every part of your network is secure.
Tailscale really just works. Granular access controls enable everyone on your team to get access to exactly what they need, when they need it, wherever it is.
Whether it’s within one cloud, multiple clouds, a Kubernetes cluster, or a Docker container, Tailscale gets every team member the access they need. This access can be granularly controlled to ensure least-privilege principles. With an easy setup that takes minutes, Tailscale is the perfect remote access tool for team members on a global scale.
Stop putting yourself at risk by publicly exposing apps. Keep internal dashboards, self-hosted tools, and third-party apps private and accessible only to trusted users.
“One of my favorite things about Tailscale was how fast I could start building out our networks. Provisioning resources manually can be very time-consuming, and the ability to fit into existing IaC workflows made deploying our network infrastructure easy.”
Guillaume Legendre
DevOps Engineer
“It basically transforms your network into a LAN, making everything accessible to users, and that was a huge selling point for us. With Tailscale, I just have them log in via Okta, and we enable/disable as needed.”
Steve Litras
Senior Director of IT and Security
“I save a lot of time working over Tailscale. It’s so much simpler that I can now actually do other work. It’s more reliable than the other VPNs that we tried. It never crashes, and it’s always available.”

Head of Network Operations
Secure infrastructure access means controlling who can reach critical systems like databases, VMs, containers, and Kubernetes clusters based on verified identity rather than network location. Unlike traditional VPNs that grant broad network access, modern infrastructure access solutions enforce least-privilege principles where users only get access to specific resources they need, when they need them. This reduces your attack surface by eliminating standing privileges and prevents lateral movement if credentials are compromised. It's essential for protecting production environments while maintaining developer productivity.
Just-in-time access eliminates standing privileges by granting temporary, time-bound permissions to infrastructure resources only when needed. Instead of developers having permanent access to production databases or Kubernetes clusters, they request access for a specific task and permissions automatically expire afterward. This dramatically reduces the attack surface because there are no always-on credentials for attackers to compromise. Just-in-time access works across containers, VMs, databases, and clusters, with full audit logs showing who accessed what and when, making it easier to meet compliance requirements.
Database access control without public exposure requires identity-aware access where authentication happens before connections are established. Instead of opening database ports to the internet or managing complex firewall rules, modern solutions authenticate users based on identity provider credentials (like Okta or Google Workspace), then create encrypted tunnels directly to databases. This works for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and other databases across AWS RDS, Azure SQL, GCP Cloud SQL, or self-hosted instances. Access can be granted just-in-time with automatic credential rotation, and all queries are logged for auditing without requiring VPN configuration.
Zero Trust networking verifies every connection based on identity and device posture instead of assuming trust based on network location. For hybrid and multi-cloud environments spanning AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises infrastructure, Zero Trust ensures consistent security policies everywhere. Every connection is encrypted end-to-end, access is granted at the resource level rather than network level, and continuous verification prevents lateral movement even if one system is compromised. This approach eliminates the need for complex VPN peering arrangements while providing better visibility through detailed access logs and session recordings across your entire infrastructure.
