What is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Legacy VPNs provide access to resources for remote workers but do not provide tight controls on what resources can be accessed while users are connected. Once a user is connected to the VPN, they have free access to any resource available on the private network. As users interact with resources, no security is applied, such as CASB, malware defense, and Data Loss Prevention, leading to a significant risk of breach and data loss. Because transactions are not inspected, no logging visibility is provided to security teams to detect unauthorized access or data hijacking. To make things worse, the increased number of security point solutions requires different products for VPN, Proxies, and VDI, which are necessary to meet a minimum level of security acceptable to the organization. This increases management overhead and substantially increases costs.

SOLUTION

A Single Unified Edge – Eliminating VPNs, VDIs, & Legacy On-Prem Proxies

The iboss Zero Trust SASE provides a secure and easy way to connect remote users to on-prem and cloud applications. The platform uses ZTNA to provide secure access to remote users, only allowing users access to the specific resources they are authorized to access. This is more secure than a VPN, which allows remote users access to the entire enterprise network, which could lead to an increased risk of breaches and data loss.

The iboss Zero Trust SASE also replaces legacy proxy appliances with Secure Access Service Edge, which provides direct connections to all applications and services, without appliances. This eliminates the worry of overloaded appliances due to the increased load from video conferencing and other services.

The iboss Zero Trust SASE eliminates and improves on the capabilities provided by VDI by providing isolated access to sensitive resources through a pane-of-glass delivered through the end-user’s browser. And because it’s part of a unified platform, Browser Isolation benefits from the capabilities of ZTNA and Secure Access Service Edge to provide access to private applications while applying security and logging to every request automatically.
