Why use 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.

ZTNA leverages your existing Threat Defense deployment as an enforcement point for application access, enabling segmented and per-application authorization. It establishes individual tunnels for both remote and on-premises users.

This feature hides the network from users and ensures that they can only access applications for which they have been explicitly authorized. Authorization for one application in the network does not give an implicit authorization for other applications on the network, thereby reducing the attack surface significantly. In other words, every access to an application or a resource must be explicitly authorized.

By adding zero trust access functionality to threat defense, you can adopt a more secure access model without the need to install or manage additional devices in the network.
