The objective is to… More (Zero Trust Network Access) is a security model designed to trust no one by default. Access authorization is managed at the application level and not at the network access level as proposed by the VPNVirtual Private Network. VPN is a technology that simulates a local area network between two trusted networks. In practice this allows two elements (workstations, servers, printers, etc.) to communicate with… More (Virtual Private Network). Therefore, the ZTNA allows to provide secure access to the information system for any type of user (employees or external service providers), for any type of use (internal to the organization, teleworking, mobility, on-call, outsourcing, etc.), in a much more secure way than the VPN.

The objective is to… More is based on the Zero Trust concept, which aims to protect the organizations’ information systems and data on the premise that any person or device can potentially be a threat to the IS. This involves verifying both the identities of persons accessing the IS and the devices used to access it, whether they are located outside or inside the organization’s network, and limiting the rights/authorizations of all users to only those resources/applications that are required in the context and for the duration of their missions. This approach is completely different from the previous approach to IS security, which assumed that users and devices located within an organization’s network were trustworthy because they had already entered the organization’s perimeter defenses.The implementation of a Zero Trust approach is based on several good practices: Least privilege principle Allow the user to access only the resources and applications he needs by tracing all actions. Control of devices accessing the Information System Check the compliance and integrity of the devices connecting to the IS Multi-factor authentication (MFA) Enhance security via complex authenticationPrimary or secondary authentication Authentication allows a user to guarantee his or her identity before accessing a resource or service. Primary authentication will give user access to the workstation (Windows… More mechanisms that are transparent to the user Want to know more about securing external access and monitoring of authorized users?
