Overview

Our Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) service implements a modern security model based on the principle of "never trust, always verify." Unlike traditional VPNs that grant broad network access, ZTNA provides secure, granular, and context-aware access only to specific applications and resources. This approach significantly enhances your organization's security posture by reducing the attack surface and limiting lateral movement in the event of a compromise, irrespective of user location or the device being used.

Key Features & Components

• Identity-Aware Access Policies: Access decisions are based on verified user identity, device posture, and contextual factors (location, time, application sensitivity).
• Application Micro-segmentation: Isolates applications from each other, ensuring users only see and access the applications they are explicitly authorized for.
• Secure Application Tunnels (Outbound-Only Connections): Applications are made invisible to the public internet. Users connect via secure, encrypted tunnels initiated outbound from the user's device to the ZTNA service, then to the application.
• Device Posture Checks & Health Validation: Verifies the security state of the connecting device (e.g., OS version, antivirus status, disk encryption) before granting access.
• Continuous Authentication and Authorization: Access is not a one-time grant; it's continuously evaluated and can be revoked if risk factors change.
• Reduced Lateral Movement: By granting access only to specific applications, ZTNA prevents attackers who compromise an endpoint from easily moving laterally across the network.
• Improved User Experience: Often provides a more seamless and faster access experience compared to traditional VPNs, especially for remote users.
• Centralized Policy Management & Visibility: Consistent policy enforcement and detailed audit logs for all access attempts and sessions.

Our Approach / Methodology

We begin by discovering and inventorying applications that need to be secured. Then, in collaboration with your team, we define granular access policies based on the principle of least privilege. Our phased deployment approach ensures minimal disruption, complemented by comprehensive user training and ongoing policy refinement to adapt to your evolving needs. This includes:

1. Application Discovery & Prioritization: Identifying all internal applications and prioritizing them for ZTNA migration.
2. User & Group Mapping: Defining user roles and groups to map them to specific application access rights.
3. Policy Definition: Creating granular access policies based on identity, device trust, and application context.
4. ZTNA Connector Deployment: Installing lightweight connectors within your data centers or cloud environments where applications reside.
5. Client Deployment & User Onboarding: Deploying ZTNA client software (if needed) to user devices and guiding users through the new access process.
6. Testing & Validation: Thoroughly testing access policies and user experience before full rollout.
7. Monitoring & Optimization: Continuously monitoring ZTNA traffic, access logs, and policy effectiveness, making adjustments as needed.
