Topic: Secure the Future: Exploring the Pillars of ZTNA Architecture
Abstract: In today’s digital environment that is spread across different environments, securing user access has become more critical, complex, than ever. Traditional network security models fall short in defending against modern threats, which is why organizations are increasingly turning to Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). As part of our series on ZTNA-driven cybersecurity, this webinar focuses on exploring the core elements involved in designing a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)-centric digital architecture to secure an organization’s systems and assets. It explores the fundamental concepts of continuous verification, granular access control, etc. to enabling organizations to build a future-ready security model. Join us as we explore how to develop and implement a ZTNA strategy aligned with broader risk governance and compliance objectives.
Key Takeaways:
- Quick recap of ZTNA architecture from the previous webinar
- Core pillars of ZTNA: Identity management, least-privilege, micro segmentation, etc.
- How these elements help reduces threats and attacks.
- How ZTNA pillars help integration with cloud and other environments.
- Insights on aligning ZTNA with regulatory and compliance needs.
