How Threat Defense Works with Zero Trust Access

Threat Defense Deployment

  1. Using a browser, a remote or on-prem user sends a HTTPS request to connect to an application from an endpoint.

  2. The HTTPS request is intercepted by the firewall that protects the application.

  3. The firewall redirects the user to application’s configured IdP for authentication.

    Note

    In the figure, each firewall protects a set of web applications. The user can directly access the applications behind the firewall after authentication and authorization.

  4. After the authentication and authorization process is complete, the firewall allows the user to access the application.
