In a zero-trust security model, all user connections are authenticated, and users only receive the access and privileges they need to fulfill their role. This is very different from traditional security solutions like VPN, which offered users full access to the target network, implicitly trusting a user after they successfully authenticated.
Zero trust network access (ZTNA) solutions are designed to implement and enforce an organization’s zero trust strategy. Users who want to connect to your organization’s applications can connect only if they really need access, and if there is nothing unusual or anomalous about their access request. This significantly reduces the cyber risks and threats facing organizations.
