Applying Zero Trust Principles to Protect Data in SaaS & Private Apps

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is relatively well-understood as technology that provides secure remote access to private applications and services based on a set of defined access control policies. ZTNA is often considered a modern version of the traditional, legacy remote access VPNs given that it is more secure and easier to deploy, manage, and scale. While ZTNA can provide tremendous benefits, why limit zero trust principles to private apps? What about SaaS? After all, as organizations modernize remote access, many migrate on-prem hosted applications to Saas. Cloud apps represent a majority of an organization’s network traffic, sensitive data is going to the cloud, and bad actors are taking advantage of cloud apps to deploy malware and ransomware. Join this webinar to learn about how zero trust principles can be applied to users accessing private apps, cloud apps, and websites. The result is stronger access controls, better data protection, and better protection against the modern crop of cloud-enabled threats. You will learn: How a ZTNA approach compares to the traditional remote access VPN How to apply zero trust principles when accessing private apps, cloud apps, and websites The importance of data context when developing more effective policy decisions on initial access and ongoing verification Walk through real-world, Zero Trust scenarios
