Losing credibility is equivalent to losing your standing in the increasingly competitive market, and it will directly impact your business. Therefore, it is essential to adopt a robust security strategy to maintain its sterling reputation as a reliable and trustworthy enterprise
Enterprises that adopt a Zero Trust philosophy can confidently offer new business models and enhanced and secure user experience to their customers. Evolved business models and satisfying customer experience
impact the bottom line empowering businesses to be future-ready without fear of security threats. From an enterprises standpoint a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) perspective has to be embedded within the access and security layers that they adopt.
What is Zero Trust?
At its core, Zero Trust is about verifying every user, validating every device, and limiting access intelligently
A ZTNA strategy for enterprises
Enterprises committed to adopting Zero Trust must keep in mind the following key factors
Benefits of ZTNA implementation
Enterprises en route to digital transformation aim to be future-ready. But, as businesses grow, so do cyber threats. The ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) ensures controlled access to the network. And the Zero Trust advantage for network security is that it reduces surface area from cyber-attacks. This control prevents direct exposure of your applications to the internet. With the advent of ZTNA, enterprises can phase out their previous dependence on VPNs for remote access. While access to applications was through intermediaries such as VPNs before, it is a cloud service now, either self-hosted or from a third party. ZTNA technologies enable application access without going through the network. It starts with Zero Trust, even before allowing connectivity, and is purely based on identities and devices, with authorization coming first and foremost.
Typically, enterprises are challenged by certain limitations, i.e., they have not been able to limit the incident to one identity without compromising others or contain the incident before it turns into a data breach. The Zero Trust model offers intelligent responses with more authentication methods and controls to ward off cyber threats. Moreover, zero trust enables risk-adaptive security control and customizes enforcement based on user actions
