What is ZTNA?

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) provides secure remote access to applications based on defined access control policies.

What is ZTNA?

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a technology that creates a secure, encrypted tunnel for connecting to applications. Unlike VPNs, ZTNA operates on the principle of least privilege, granting access only to specific applications rather than the entire network.

ZTNA vs. VPN

VPNs grant broad network access once a user is authenticated. ZTNA provides granular, per-application access based on user identity, device health, and context. ZTNA reduces the attack surface and limits lateral movement if a device is compromised.

How does ZTNA work?

ZTNA verifies user identity and device posture before granting access. It creates a one-to-one connection between the user and the specific application, without exposing the application to the Internet or granting broader network access.
