Akamai Zero Trust Client
App Access & Threat Protection
Free
Akamai Zero Trust Client for iOS and iPadOS lets you securely access your organization’s applications and resources directly from your mobile device, while also protecting your network traffic from security threats.
The client works in conjunction with Akamai’s Zero Trust service deployed by your organization. It leverages your organization credentials and single sign-on (SSO) authentication to provide you with a secure way to access your organization’s network.
Zero Trust Client unique technology combines VPN Service, to steer mobile applications network traffic on your device, with Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to route the traffic to Akamai Cloud and then, securely onward to the organization's application servers.
To safeguard enterprise mobile devices from threats such as malware, phishing attempts, and command-and-control callbacks, the client securely routes DNS and HTTP/HTTPS traffic to Akamai Cloud for inspection.
To get started with Akamai Zero Trust Client, follow the instructions provided by your organization’s IT department.

OS notifications. Notifications alert you when you attempt to access a blocked website or resource, or when your Access session expires and reauthentication is required. Ensure notifications for Zero Trust Client are enabled in your device settings. If they are turned off, an in-app banner provides a quick option to turn them on in your OS settings.
2.0.1 12/18/2024
DNS over TLS (DoT) support.
You can enable DoT to secure traffic between Zero Trust Client and SIA DNS resolvers. Without DoT, DNS queries from the Internet are unencrypted and available in plaintext as they travel from a DNS client to a DNS resolver. DoT secures this information with TLS encryption by adding privacy and preventing threat actors from spoofing traffic or hijacking DNS from the local network. For instructions, see Configure DoT settings in the SIA documentation.
Local bypass support.
Local bypass settings in Enterprise Center let you configure the Zero Trust Client traffic that you don’t want directed to the SIA cloud. The traffic you specify bypasses SIA and is directed to another resolver, such as a local or public resolver. Threat Protection in Zero Trust Client doesn’t forward this traffic to SIA. To learn how to configure domains and DNS suffixes that you don’t want directed to SIA, see SIA documentation.
Remote Access toggle.
Go to Settings to enable or disable the Access service on your mobile device.
Debug logging toggle.
When enabled in Settings, debug logging lets you capture detailed information about the client, including Access and Threat Protection status, VPN activity, and visited hostnames or IP addresses. Note that debug logging may negatively impact the client’s performance. You can review client logs in Enterprise Center.
