Zero Trust Tools

Q: What is the difference between ZTNA and VPN?

VPNs grant users full network access once connected, creating a flat network where a compromised device can reach everything. ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) grants access only to specific applications based on user identity, device posture, and context, hiding all other resources. ZTNA provides better security, better performance (no backhauling), and better user experience than traditional VPNs.

Q: What is SASE and how does it relate to zero trust?

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) combines networking (SD-WAN) and security (ZTNA, CASB, SWG, FWaaS) into a unified cloud-delivered service. It implements zero trust principles for network access while also providing network optimization. SSE (Security Service Edge) is the security-only portion of SASE without the SD-WAN component. SASE is one way to implement zero trust, particularly for distributed workforces.

Q: What is a secure enterprise browser and when do I need one?

Secure enterprise browsers replace or wrap standard browsers with built-in security controls: DLP, URL filtering, session recording, and data access policies. They are useful for BYOD environments, contractor access, and protecting sensitive SaaS applications without requiring endpoint agents. They complement ZTNA by adding application-layer controls within the browser session itself.

Zero Trust Tools FAQ

Common questions about Zero Trust tools, selection guides, pricing, and comparisons.

What is zero trust architecture?

Zero trust is a security model based on the principle of "never trust, always verify." Instead of trusting devices inside a network perimeter, zero trust requires continuous verification of every user, device, and connection before granting access to any resource. Key components include identity verification, device health checks, least-privilege access, microsegmentation, and continuous monitoring.
