Topic: ZTNA Architecture: Insights into Network and InfoSec
Abstract: With businesses expanding their digital network and storage across various environments such as Cloud, IoT, SaaS, VPN, etc., the need for robust access management is more imminent than ever. The traditional security paradigms must evolve from network perimeter security to a ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) approach to implement stricter and secure access management. ZTNA enables secure access based on identity and behavior access management policies with an aim to reduce the attack surfaces and minimize chances for lateral movement for an attack. The current webinar aims at the ZTNA architecture from both networking and information security perspectives. The webinar aims to equip network and IT security professionals with the knowledge to evaluate and implement a Zero Trust approach that aligns with their organization’s evolving risk posture.
Key Takeaways:
- Core components and architectural models of ZTNA
- How ZTNA redefines secure access in hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- The intersection of ZTNA with identity, device posture, and micro-segmentation
- Real-world implementation challenges and best practices
- ZTNA vs. traditional VPNs and legacy access models
