Easier to enroll staff and stand up new applications: ZTNA is much easier to roll out and enroll new employees, especially if they are working remotely.ZTNA also incorporates device health into access policies: something VPN can’t do. It also removes a growing attack vector where ransomware attackers are exploiting VPN clients to get a foothold on networks.

This removes implicit trust and provides micro-segmentation of applications and data, ensuring threats can’t move laterally across the network.

Better security: ZTNA only connects users to a specific application, not the whole network like VPN.

ZTNA offers a number of added benefits that make it a very attractive solution to replace VPN for connecting remote workers and users to important applications and data: What are the benefits of ZTNA compared to remote-access VPN? Please review this article for a great overview of Zero Trust Network Access. It’s actually a very good way to manage network access – and seamless and simple too.

This means verifying their identity and validating device health before providing access to corporate applications and data.
