In this article, we\u2019ll take a closer look at Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): a combination of technologies that facilitates secure remote access between users, devices, and applications via defined access control policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve all heard the phrase: innocent until proven guilty. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n But what does it mean? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Say your neighbor accuses you of stealing his bike\u2026 because you often wear black hoodies at night (he doesn\u2019t realize you\u2019re just a programmer). He recently installed some M820 Saint <\/strong>Shimano brakes, among other upgrades, and is distraught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though your neighbor may start giving you the side eye, you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing the U.S. legal system has your back. Unless he can prove guilt \u201cbeyond all reasonable doubt,\u201d the law assumes your innocence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes it makes sense to give our fellow humans the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, that\u2019s never<\/em> a good idea when it comes to cybersecurity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As data breaches continue to rise \u2014 by at least 17% from 2020 to 2021<\/a>\u2014 adopting a \u201dtrust no one\u201d mentality has never been more crucial. This is where Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) comes into play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
