What Is Zero Trust Network Access?

What Is Zero Trust Network Access?

Need a better IT solution for remote employees? Axus Technologies offers zero trust network access technology.

There is no denying that the world is becoming more connected, not through physical means, but through technology. Virtual interactions and digital access to information and projects are more necessary than ever and will continue to be a part of everyday communications. Remote access is one of commercial IT’s most pressing areas of concern. To give businesses the high-quality user experience and security they need, Axus Technologies offers zero trust network access technology.

Zero Trust Network Access Defined

Zero trust network access (ZTNA) is a different approach to confirming strong user access to applications without compromising on security. Also known as a software defined perimeter (SDP), it creates only one connecting line between a user through an intermediary like the Cloud to the Internet, greatly reducing the likelihood of attacks. According to Microsoft, over half of businesses are already switching over from VPN technology to the zero trust model.

Attributes of Zero Trust Network Access

To understand how a ZTNA can secure excellent Internet access for your business, one can look at its attributes. 

The Internet Is the Network

A ZTNA does not work through network-based security. In some commercial IT models, the network houses users and information together in one isolated unit. However, in zero trust technology, the Internet is the network, and authorized users and corporate networks work within it.

One-On-One Access

As for how users interact with the corporate network, the beauty of ZTNA is that they don’t. Users are never placed on the network, but have direct, one-on-one access to applications from it. 

No Lateral Risks

When an authorized user needs to access a business application, they can directly tap into it and still have rapid Internet connectivity. Along with this, users are not connected to each other. This means that if one device is infected or attacked, the other users and the corporate network do not suffer.

Invisibility on the Internet

The Internet is a vast and limitless place, fraught with potential attackers. Zero trust network access counters this openness by only sending outbound signals and not inbound ones, making devices appear invisible online.

ZTNA Summarized

The goal of ZTNA is to simplify commercial IT and promote security. It successfully does both of these things by deemphasizing the business network and pinpointing user access. For more information, Axus Technologies can help.
