Many organizations use virtual private networks (VPNs), putting business data, intellectual property, applications, and systems at high-security risks every time a user or device is trusted in this manner. 

Organizations need zero-trust network access (ZTNA), wherein no trust is granted on any device or user without undergoing verification, especially for remote and hybrid work and business settings.

ZTNA provides new points of authentication solutions, wherein remote employees have only the least privileged access to efficiently perform their job roles instead of broad network access, eliminating issues related to stolen passwords, weak credentials, and inadequate Internet-of-Things (IoT) device security.

This whitepaper describes how ZTNA can ensure data privacy and security, regardless of users and devices used.
