Do you customers have a security plan for when end users go beyond the firewall? Zero trust network access (ZTNA) policies may be the solution they need.
With the future of work being in the cloud, remote-enabled and device-agnostic—a new security paradigm is required to protect it all.
Enter zero trust network access (ZTNA).
Seen as an evolution to the traditional virtual private network (VPN) structure, ZTNA allows organizations to apply a “never trust, always verify” approach to securing their networks by using granular, context-aware access for business-critical applications. This in turn minimizes a network’s attack surface and prevents the exposure of other services to potential attackers.
Because of its ability to enforce security – even when threats come through the home network – ZTNA has become a very popular security policy over the last few years. In fact, Gartner predicts 70% of new remote access deployments will be served mainly by ZTNA by 2025.1
But it’s granular control over networks isn’t the only benefit to implementing ZTNA policies. Here’s five more ways this security policy can help you revolutionize your customer’s networks:
1. Minimize risk and spread due to compromised user accounts.
2. Limit damages due to insider threats using least privilege.
3. Reduce the threat of internet-based attacks by keeping applications from being exposed to the internet.
4. Restrict access to cloud environments and applications to enforce better data security.
5. Improve compliance with greater control over application and data access.
