M4IP - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Mamori M4IP is a zero trust network access (ZTNA) module built to replace or complement your VPN. It authenticates and authorizes every user, device, and connection individually, scoping access to the exact resource requested rather than the entire network. It protects anything with an IP address, including web and legacy applications, file shares, servers, databases, and IoT devices, from unverified access, whether the connection comes from a remote laptop, a contractor's device, or a workstation on the internal LAN.

How it works

M4IP sits between users and your infrastructure as a policy enforcement point. Every device registers before it can connect. Every session is authenticated with multi-factor authentication, even for legacy web applications never built to support SAML or OAuth. Access is then scoped by microsegmentation down to IP, port, role, or individual identity, so a user or compromised account can reach only what its policy explicitly allows. There is no default lateral movement between resources.

Core functions

Split VPN architecture: routes only traffic that needs to reach protected resources, instead of backhauling everything through one tunnel

Device Registry: every connecting device is registered and verified before access is granted

MFA on all resource types, including legacy applications without SAML or OAuth

Microsegmentation to IP, port, role, or identity-based workload

Real-time intrusion detection: unsolicited access attempts and network scans trigger an automatic device lockout and admin alert

Full session monitoring and audit logging by user and device

On-demand, least-privilege access: users request a specific resource, an approver grants it, and access expires automatically

Technical specifications

Protocols: SSH, RDP, HTTP/S, TCP, and IP-based traffic to applications, file shares, servers, databases, and IoT devices

Deployment: no agents on protected resources, no application changes needed

Mobile access: SSH from iOS and Android devices

Session recording: full TCP session capture for audit and incident investigation

Coexistence: runs alongside an existing VPN or replaces it outright

Integrations

Active Directory and LDAP for identity and directory sync

SSO and MFA layered onto applications regardless of native SAML or OAuth support

Native compatibility with standard SSH and RDP clients, no endpoint agents

Deploys as part of the full Mamori Server alongside M4PAM (privileged access), M4APP (application security), and Mamori's built-in SIEM, threat, and risk reporting modules for teams that want one console for identity, access, and monitoring

Security features

Zero trust architecture: nothing is trusted by default, including traffic already inside the perimeter

Device-level verification before any connection is established

Real-time network scan detection with automatic device lockout

Microsegmentation prevents lateral movement even if one account or device is compromised

Full audit trail (who, what, when, where, which device) for every session

Built-in threat and risk alerting, with the option to feed events into Mamori's included SIEM dashboard

Who it's for

IT and security teams at mid-market and enterprise organizations managing internal staff, remote employees, external vendors, and IoT devices who need consistent access control across all of them. Also used to bring MFA to legacy applications and to cut the overhead of jump hosts. Organizations with 20 or fewer staff, or under $10M in revenue, can run M4IP free.

CrowdStrike's 2026 Global Threat Report found 82% of detections were credential-based, not malware-based. A VPN can't tell a legitimate credential from a stolen one once someone is inside. M4IP verifies every connection on its own merits, every time.
