ZTNA: Default to Deny, Never Trust, and Always Verify

Zero Trust has become a global strategic initiative for preventing successful cyberattacks by eliminating the concepts of “trust” from digital systems. Zero Trust Network Access is one part of a holistic Zero Trust strategy that focuses on securing user access to applications and services from any location. ZTNA is a critical capability of a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform. The Prisma Access cloud-delivered security platform, together with Prisma SD-WAN, provides an industry leading SASE solution for customers. Prisma Access delivers ZTNA by combining granular access control, unified policy management, and continuous user monitoring for scalable zero trust access. Traditional ZTNA approaches do not deliver full Zero Trust. The best ZTNA solution should deliver full detection and prevention capabilities, such as: - Direct authenticated user traffic to applications through a secure access service edge. This serves as the public facing portal for all user access from anywhere in the world and applications are never exposed to the public internet. - Agent and agentless authentication of users and devices. - Continuous security assessment of a user’s device before and after it connects to a privileged application Monitoring user activity for signs of malware, exploitation, data-loss, and credential theft after they connect to privileged resources - Granular, identity based access control to only the resources a user needs In this session, you will learn why Prisma Access provides a better and simplified approach to Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for secure remote access to applications and services.
