Zero trust network access
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) provides secure, segmented application access by requiring explicit authorization for every connection. This approach reduces the attack surface and simplifies secure migrations without adding devices.
Key characteristics
ZTNA uses your existing Threat Defense deployment as an enforcement point for application access, enabling segmented and per-application authorization. ZTNA establishes individual tunnels for both remote and on-premises users.
ZTNA hides the network from users and ensures that they can only access applications for which they have been explicitly authorized. Authorization for one application does not provide implicit access to other applications, which significantly reduces the attack surface. In other words, every access to an application or a resource must be explicitly authorized.
You can adopt a more secure access model by adding zero trust access functionality to Threat Defense. This eliminates the need to install or manage additional devices in the network.
