Zero Trust Network Access

Application access based on Zero Trust

Providing secure access to applications and resources is a key step for any organization moving to a Zero Trust Architecture. Enterprise Application Access is a complete Zero Trust Network Access solution based on Zero Trust principles of “never trust, always verify” and provides dynamic application access based on identity, context, and device posture. It eliminates implicit trust and enforces strict identity verification and least-privilege access policies for every user identity, device, or application regardless of where they are located, and supports all cloud environments. Enterprise Application Access reduces an enterprise’s attack surface, prevents lateral movement, and simplifies administrator experiences through centralized policy management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

VPNs have simple allow/deny non-intelligent capabilities that give users corporate network–level access. If your VPN is compromised by an attacker, they can use that initial foothold to move laterally and deploy malware, ransomware, or exfiltrate data. Enterprise Application Access delivers Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to provide least-privilege application access to deny or restrict access based on identity, context, and security posture. This eliminates network-level access and ensures that users only have access to the applications and application features that they need for their role.
