Built to be more powerful than VPN [Virtual Private Networks]

• In VPN, it is multiple identical keys and just a single door - When you cannot define who is who, you provide full access to a lateral intruder - basically a hacker.
• The door doesn't fit for the cloud - VPNs are traditionally developed to provide remote access ~ they have very poor cloud-based resources

Granular control and
visibility

• Independently authorize or revoke at every single instance - Never trust, Always verify
• Logically defined perimeters - Allows you to customize policies in different combinations and requirements, ZTNA perimeters are implemented as software
• BYOD support - Lightweight application that just looks like every other VPN software, but 2x secure and powerful

Micro-Segmented Networks across Multi-Cloud Systems

• Micro-segmentation is a security technique that involves dividing a network into small, isolated segments or zones to limit the attack surface and reduce the risk of lateral movement by cyber attackers.
• Each segment is only accessible by authorized users or devices, which are identified and authenticated before being granted access to the segment.
