Safous Zero Trust Network Access

ZERO TRUST SECURITY FOR HIGH RISK-ACCESS

Safous ZTA for hybrid work provides secure access to network resources - whether your employees are in the office, at home, or anywhere else in the world 

WHAT IS ZERO TRUST NETWORK ACCESS (ZTNA)

ZTNA is the technology that makes implementing a zero-trust security model possible. Based on the principle of “never trust, always verify,” ZTNA controls access at the application and data level, protecting corporate networks from threats with more flexibility and efficiency than legacy security solutions.

Those exploring ZTNA may also encounter the term “least privilege access.” Least privilege access isolates infected applications and data without disrupting other parts of the network, making it an important part of the ZTNA ecosystem. While ZTNA eliminates threats, least privilege access minimizes and mitigates damage, working together to strengthen an organization’s zero trust security strategy.

ZTNA is a key component of Safous’ ZTA platform.

How Does ZTNA Secure the Remote Workforce

As cyber threats targeting remote work environments increase, more companies are opting to leave
legacy security tools behind and adopt ZTNA. But how exactly does ZTNA secure remote workforces?

  • ZTNA requires continuous identity authentication, forcing each device, application, and user to pass an authentication test every time they request access and preventing hackers from gaining network access based on implicit trust.
  • ZTNA minimizes the network attack surface by communicating with a single access point for each request. No other endpoints are open, reducing exposure to unauthorized access.
  • ZTNA reduces damage in the event of a breach, releasing only as much access needed to fulfil each request and requiring additional authentication to move throughout the rest of the network.
  • ZTNA provides scalable security that goes beyond traditional network perimeters to encompass the entire workforce – no matter where remote employees are connecting to the network from.
  • ZTNA centralizes security management, allowing IT administrators to control security and remote access policies company-wide from a central location for painless policy deployment and consistent enforcement.

Benefits of Zero Trust and ZTNA

Zero trust and ZTNA solutions boast several benefits beyond protecting remote work environments.
Because the zero-trust framework constantly authenticates and verifies all devices and users accessing the network, it offers stronger
enterprise network security than any other solution available today. Some benefits of zero trust include:

  • Secure Modernization – Zero trust paves the way for secure digital transformation by safeguarding devices and applications without requiring architectural changes or policy updates. This allows companies to optimize their cloud usage and develop more effective ways to expand their digital resources.
  • Minimized Risks – Zero trust minimizes risk by categorizing all assets on the network and identifying how they communicate, in addition to constantly assessing the “credentials” of each asset communicating within the network.
  • Control Cloud Access – Zero trust applies access policies based on workload identities, keeping resources secured and unaltered by changing network components like ports, IP addresses, and protocols.
  • Reduced Data Breaches – Zero trust continually reassesses trust, even if the location, device, or accessed data changes. Additionally, this model divides the corporate network into segments to prevent lateral movement.
  • Maintain Compliance – Zero trust helps businesses achieve and maintain compliance with certain regulatory privacy standards, including PCI DSS and NIST 800-207.
