What is zero trust security?

Zero trust security is a framework that relies on the principle of "never trust, always verify" to continuously monitor user activities, and to have security controls automatically applied when suspicious activity is detected. Unlike traditional VPNs, which authorize users only once at login, the zero trust model grants access to IT sanctioned apps and data based on identity and device posture.

What is zero trust network access (ZTNA)?

ZTNA is a technology solution used to provide secure access to sanctioned business apps without the need for VPN. Some ZTNA solutions also offer adaptive authorization, which provides continuous assessment and verification of each user's location and device posture before granting access.

What are the benefits of zero trust?

Zero trust helps organizations reduce the attack surface to keep security breaches at bay. Specifically, zero trust security:

  • Supports secure hybrid work by providing fast, secure access to all IT sanctioned apps
  • Consolidates access points, ensuring there's less for hackers to exploit
  • Reduces the risk of data exfiltration while improving the end-user experience
