Zero Trust Network Access: Securing Your Future

Part of our guides

The Ultimate Guide to Enterprise Cybersecurity

Read Guide

VPNs grant access to everything. ZTNA restricts access to only what is necessary. Learn how Zero Trust Network Access is redefining network security.

The old model of network security was like a castle with a moat. You used a VPN to cross the moat, and once inside, you had the keys to the castle. This approach is no longer safe.

The Weakness of VPNs

If a hacker steals an employee's credentials and connects to the VPN, they are inside your network. They can move laterally from the marketing server to the accounting database because the VPN trusts them implicitly. This is how major breaches happen.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Zero Trust operates on a simple principle: trust no one, verify everyone continually. ZTNA replaces the traditional VPN with a more granular system.

1. App-Level Access: Users don't connect to the whole network. They connect securely to specific applications. If you only need access to the CRM, you only get access to the CRM. 2. Continuous Verification: Authentication happens constantly. ZTNA evaluates context like the health of the device, the location, and the time of day before granting or maintaining access. 3. Invisible Infrastructure: Applications are hidden from the open internet, reducing the attack surface to zero.

Why Make the Switch

ZTNA provides significantly better security, but it's also often faster and more reliable than a clunky legacy VPN. It gives employees a smoother experience while giving IT teams the control to enforce strict security policies everywhere.

The future of remote work demands better security than legacy VPNs can provide. Zero Trust is that future.
