In organizations with remote employees, productivity depends on secure, reliable access to applications, services and data over the internet from any device at any location or time. Yet, the internet can expose IP addresses and create security risks due to implicit trust and a wealth of vulnerabilities.

Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) hides the network location — IP address — and uses identity-based authentication to establish trust and provide access. It appropriately adapts access to specific applications or data at a given time, location or device. ZTNA provides IT and security teams with centralized control and improved flexibility to secure highly distributed IT environments.
