Connect your remote users
When working remotely and travelling, your users are connecting from different locations, which calls for an appropriate cybersecurity strategy. Ensure that access to your company or organisation’s internal applications and resources is secure with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) technology.

Ensure secure access to your resources
The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy and the connection of user devices may expose your critical resources. The Zero Trust approach, which employs the principle of least privilege, monitors device compliance for access to certain resources (applications or network segments), thus limiting your attack surface.

Q&A: What is ZTNA and why is it essential? The Zero Trust principle turns the approach to cybersecurity on its head, through a new paradigm defined by Gartner in 2019. Its definition is simple: no connection is secure until the employee and their device have been authenticated, whether or not the connection is attempted from within the company. The Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) approach makes it possible to verify the trust of your users and their devices, using technologies such as multi-factor authentication, behavioural analysis and security policy orchestration.
Q&A: How does ZTNA reduce the attack surface? By applying a policy of least privilege and continuous verification, Zero Trust Network Access drastically limits opportunities for intrusion. Each digital access request is validated on the basis of several criteria, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), the security status of the terminal and the level of risk detected. Thanks to micro-segmentation, potential vulnerabilities are contained and lateral propagation is prevented. This security model provides better isolation and strengthens protection against advanced threats.
Q&A: How does ZTNA work? Zero Trust Network Access is based on a rigorous security architecture in which every attempt to access or connect to the Internet constitutes a potential threat. All employees, both internal and external, must be authenticated, validated and authorised before being granted zero-trust network access. Once authenticated, validated and authorised, employees can access company applications and resources via a trusted gateway.
Q&A: Integrating ZTNA with SASE. ZTNA plays a key role in the SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) model, providing secure network access to cloud applications and enterprise infrastructures. The combination of these two approaches unifies cybersecurity by integrating advanced ZTNA solutions such as DNS filtering, threat protection and traffic inspection. This synergy enables organisations to reduce their dependency on traditional architectures and optimise their security posture by guaranteeing a protected and filtered Internet connection.
Q&A: What are the differences between ZTNA and a VPN? Unlike traditional VPN clients, which grant extensive network access to employees, ZTNA limits access strictly to necessary resources. ZTNA applies continuous verification and does not allow implicit connection to the corporate network, reducing the attack surface and the risk of compromise. In many cases, therefore, ZTNA offers a more secure alternative to the traditional VPN tunnel. However, some organisations may use a hybrid IT security approach combining the two solutions, depending on their specific needs.
Q&A: Is the ZTNA suitable for SMEs? Yes, ZTNA is not just for large companies. Stormshield's solutions, for example, are suitable for SMEs, enabling flexible, scalable deployment with simple configuration to secure network access without requiring a complex infrastructure.
