<p>Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a modern security framework based on the principle of <i>“never trust, always verify.”</i> It ensures that users, devices, and applications are continuously authenticated and authorized before being granted access to resources—regardless of whether they are inside or outside the network.</p>
<p>Access is granted based on verified user identity rather than network location.<br>This ensures only authenticated and authorized users can access applications.</p>
<p>Users are given access only to the resources necessary for their role.<br>This minimizes risk by preventing unnecessary or excessive access.</p>
<p>Adds an additional layer of security beyond passwords, such as OTP or biometrics.<br>It significantly reduces the chances of unauthorized access.</p>
<p>ZTNA verifies the security status of devices before granting access.<br>Only compliant and secure devices are allowed to connect to applications.</p>
<p>Access is restricted to specific applications instead of the entire network.<br>This reduces the attack surface and prevents lateral movement within systems.</p>
<p>User activity and access are continuously monitored in real time.<br>Any suspicious behavior triggers re-authentication or access restrictions.</p>
