ZERO TRUST NETWORK ACCESS FOR DUMMIES
lIntroduction
How and where we work has changed dramatically in a relatively short period of time . Digital transformation initiatives that were already underway before the COVID-19 pandemic , such as remote working and cloud computing , were suddenly and necessarily accelerated to address new realities in the modern world . We now live in a world where work is no longer a place we go . Instead , it ’ s an activity we perform anywhere .
As a result of this new work paradigm , our attack surface has increased exponentially , with many architectures now supporting direct-to-app connections across the Internet instead of backhauling traffic to data centers over private networks . Legacy remote access VPN connectivity no longer works in a world where users and apps are now outside corporate networks and data centers . Legacy remote-access
VPNs provide too much access with little to no threat or vulnerability detection , leaving privileged resources vulnerable to user account compromise . With the dramatic increase in volume , scale , and sophistication of cyberattacks , today ’ s cloud-enabled businesses are scrambling to plug their security ‘ gaps ’ and have started turning to zero trust network access ( ZTNA ) solutions to reduce their attack surface and protect their enterprises from ransomware and other exploits .
However , existing ZTNA ( or 1.0 ) solutions are unable to meet the security needs of today ’ s enterprises . They provide too much access with too little protection , deliver inconsistent and incomplete security across web- and non-web-based applications and offer poor performance and user experiences . As a result , they are not able to handle the onslaught of new and increasingly sophisticated attacks across our exploding attack surfaces . p
