SECURE NETWORK ACCESS

Jawahar SivasankaranDecember 8, 2022


UNIVERSAL ZTNA: ZERO TRUST NETWORK ACCESS ANYWHERE COMES OF AGE

Did you know? Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is the fastest-growing network
security segment, according to Gartner’s new forecast on worldwide security and
risk management spending that projects ZTNA deployments to increase 36% by the
end of 2022 and another 31% in 2023. It’s clear that universal ZTNA is now the
go-to solution for enterprises seeking to secure all user-to-resource and
resource-to-resource connections across hybrid infrastructures and corporate
networks.

Share



Enterprise security and IT teams have faced storm clouds of change when it comes
to delivering secure access for people to the resources needed to do their jobs.
First, it was a seemingly overnight shift to work from home and battling
antiquated VPNs that couldn’t handle the surge. Then cybercriminals upped the
ante with relentless ransomware and phishing attacks to find escalating security
gaps and target the No. 1 attack vector, people. Now it’s a question of how to
adequately secure access for hybrid workforces connecting from anywhere to
hybrid workloads housed everywhere.

However, the silver lining over the past few years is that many organizations
weathering the cybersecurity storm have turned to the proven security advantages
and operational and business benefits of Zero Trust Network Access. In fact,
enterprises are rapidly deploying universal ZTNA across the full corporate
network as this revolutionary secure access solution comes of age.

What is universal ZTNA?

ZTNA doesn’t just solve for remote secure access use cases ... it has matured to
support on-campus and on-premises users and devices including IoT. So, what is
universal ZTNA, or as we like to call it, Zero Trust Network Access anywhere?

Universal ZTNA, a term coined by Gartner, is the most effective secure access
method available. In contrast to the “default allow” mode of VPNs, network
access control (NAC) solutions and firewalls, universal ZTNA is based on the
principles of Zero Trust, which takes a “default deny” approach to digital
resources. However, not all ZTNA solutions are created equal. The most effective
ZTNA solutions address more than just remote access, which many security vendors
viewed as the only factor to consider early on and now they are desperately
trying to pivot their architecture and features to also solve for universal
ZTNA. Many of these same vendors also built architectures that only supported
cloud access, making it even more difficult to solve for on-campus users and
devices.

On the other hand, comprehensive universal ZTNA solutions safeguard access
across your entire ecosystem of users, use cases, workloads and full corporate
network, not just the parts that are in the cloud. And they will readily adapt
to your “now and next” digital transformation and cloud initiatives and
unforeseen external forces of change. As users and employees come back into the
office post pandemic, they expect the same level of simplicity of use they got
working remotely, and security teams want to enforce the same level of access
policy in the office.




Why universal ZTNA and why now?

On campus and WFH workforces and a mixture of legacy, on-premises and
multi-cloud workloads plus IoT devices mean that enterprises must overcome many
security hurdles:

 * Traditional cybersecurity systems were built for high-trust,
   perimeter-centric environments, making them ill-equipped to protect an
   expansive, ever-changing attack surface created by work-from-anywhere
   policies and dispersed IT environments
 * Legacy workloads on midrange and mainframe equipment are difficult to add
   modern security and expensive to refactor but must still be accessible
 * Unmanaged or compromised devices that act as unwitting attack vectors and
   lack strict controls (e.g., BYOD, IoT and OT)
 * Notoriously complex cloud environments lead many IT teams to default to
   permissive policies

Let’s also not forget about overburdened security and IT teams need modern
secure access solutions that streamline administration, reduce complexity and
enable business agility. And remote, in-office and third-party users need to be
able to simply connect to wildly diverse on-premises, legacy and cloud
environments without delays and disruptions. Providing all users with a unified,
seamless experience, regardless of where they are working or where the resource
is located, improves productivity and reduces the volume of trouble tickets.

To be clear, universal ZTNA is not new. The label is new and helps the industry
move past pigeonholing ZTNA as a remote access-only solution. As organizations
mature their Zero Trust programs—likely tackling remote users as the most
logical and vulnerable starting place—universal ZTNA, or ZTNA anywhere, is a
defining term to reinforce the criticality of extending Zero Trust principles
across campus and branch networks.



Top reasons to consider universal ZTNA

The universal ZTNA market is flourishing because organizations are tired of
cobbling together traditional security solutions that are insecure, wrack up
help desk trouble tickets and aren’t built on the principles of Zero Trust
security and least privilege access. What are the top reasons you should
consider applying Zero Trust Network Access anywhere and everywhere across your
full hybrid infrastructure?

 1. It’s identity-centric:  ZTNA anywhere ensures we know as much about a user
    and/or the device as we can before allowing them to make a connection to the
    network, such as:

    • What is the user’s context?
    • What device are they using?
    • What is the device’s security posture?
    • Where is the user located?

 2. It’s adaptive and extensible: Universal ZTNA manages access and adapts based
    on user context, device, and security conditions. It integrates with
    business and other security systems and provides an individual
    microperimeter for every user, granting specific access and visibility to
    only the network resources the user needs to do their job.
 3. It adheres to the principles of Zero Trust: A central idea of Zero Trust
    security is that access is never granted based on assumed or implicit trust.
    It requires that trust be earned through proactive device introspection,
    identity validation and contextual analysis that is continuously
    re-evaluated using a contextual, risk-based approach.

What to look for in a universal ZTNA solution?

While ZTNA anywhere is the goal, not all Zero Trust Network Access solutions
were architected to handle the sophistication required to cover remote and
campus networking simultaneously. In fact, in a recent report, Gartner
identified several issues that might apply to a limited ZTNA solution, such as:

 * Lack of protocol support
 * Securing headless devices, such as IoT
 * Lack of support for bi-directional security rules

Specifically, streamlined advantages of advanced universal ZTNA solutions should
include:

 * Concurrent secure access for all users, devices and workloads wherever they
   reside
 * Cloaking resources until a user is authenticated
 * Maintaining policies in synch with dynamic infrastructure
 * Micro-segmentation to deliver 1:1 secure access for users, devices, networks
   and resources
 * Customization through a rich feature set, including APIs, which aligns with
   central IT requirements and processes
 * A single framework and consistent configuration to unify access and minimize
   administrative tasks
 * The ability to secure all network access, including on-premises, IoT/OT, WAN
   and campus networks

Questions to ask during the universal ZTNA vendor selection process

There are a lot of claims out there, so how can you be sure that a ZTNA vendor
is up to the task of Zero Trust Network Access anywhere. Here are some questions
to add to your universal ZTNA RFP process:

 * Can your ZTNA solution work for in-office users?
 * Can your ZTNA offering protect legacy infrastructure and modern cloud-native
   microservices?
 * Does your ZTNA solution require connections pass through the vendors cloud,
   or do you have a choice of deployment models for your unique situation?
 * How scalable is your ZTNA solution? Will it be able to meet my needs in six
   months or a year?
 * What API integrations are built in to ensure seamless integration with our
   current tech and security stack?
 * We’ve got an identity access management (IAM) platform. Can your universal
   ZTNA solution work with that?
 * Does your ZTNA solution constantly monitor and dynamically adjust connections
   when risks change?
 * What is the process for verifying a user’s identity and granted permissions?
 * How does your ZTNA offering manage and enforce unified policies for users or
   IoT devices connecting to on-premises and cloud resources?
 * How do policy changes work? Does your universal ZTNA solution reduce
   complexity by eliminating redundant or old policies?
 * How does your product protect against lateral movement?
 * Does your solution provide a unified and seamless experience for a user that
   is remote today and in the office tomorrow?
 * What does network monitoring look? What kind of visibility will it offer my
   administrators?
