Enterprises are increasingly modernizing by moving their applications portfolio and data to the cloud. To achieve organizational freedom of choice, cost efficiency and global coverage, it is often attractive to use services from multiple different cloud vendors.

This cannot be achieved with sub-optimal backhauling of traffic anchored to an on-prem data center with traditional FW and security devices. Traffic must flow directly from user to cloud…

Many large enterprises consider their internal networks safe—protected by perimeter firewalls and VPN solutions—and that security threats are primarily present external to their networks. In reality, the enterprise network attack surface has experienced a multifold expansion brought about by trends in work-from-anywhere, Direct Internet Access (DIA), application-and-data migration into the cloud, BYOD, IoT, and increasingly sophisticated hacker attacks with lateral movement. Corporate “internal” networks are often as insecure as “external” networks, if you can even still find the borders between these. ZTNA is a modern network architecture that brings back the security essential to your corporate network. The approach is…
