How can you safely give employees and contractors access to applications while staying secure? Security can’t be a roadblock—employees need access to corporate apps and data without friction. At the same time, you need to make sure only authorized individuals are accessing those critical apps. VPNs are an old and painful technology. VPNs were never designed to operate at large scale—they were designed for some workers who needed access from the road, not for nearly 100% remote working. Additionally, VPNs are overly permissive—you can’t tailor access to specific individuals.
The MPA platform is different from a cloud access security broker (CASB). Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) provides employees remote access to applications, data and services based on clearly defined access control policies, either for a specific role or an employee.
