Zero trust network access (ZTNA) creates an identity around an application. Access to the application is hidden with a broker and cannot be discovered. Verification is completed based on an identity, context and policy. Once approval is given, access is granted with movement elsewhere in the network prohibited.
An application can be hidden from the public which can result in less opportunities for an attack on that application. This solution is known as an implicitly trust no-one approach. It is more secure than the legacy VPN solutions.
On-premise, hybrid or full cloud workloads can be granted access. Best of all, company supplied computers or personally owned computers can be configured for access.
Is a ZTNA solution in your IT strategy for 2025?
