Definition
Zero Trust Network Access, or ZTNA, is an access model in which connectivity is not granted just because a user reaches the network. The user must also be identified and authorized for the specific application or resource being requested. ZTNA narrows visibility and reachability so that users see only the services they are allowed to consume.
The Ariovis perspective
Privileged security should begin by reducing standing privilege, governing accounts and automating grants and revocations. Vaults, bastions and session controls are reserved for the use cases that genuinely need them.
