If you need to do something, you only have the right to do that particular task and nothing else. It means that you only need to give a user the minimum level of access or permission needed to perform an action. Least privileged is a fairly simple idea. The ultimate goals of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) are to enforce the concept of “least privilege” and minimize the impact of cyber attacks. Rather, it’s a process that supports and underscores a company’s overall cybersecurity strategy. Zero Trust isn’t a single technology that serves as an all-encompassing solution for security. ZTNA: The Overstated Principle and the “Unsafe” Reality This approach can help organizations to improve cybersecurity in a decentralized world. In an effort to achieve the next evolution in cybersecurity in this remote and hybrid world, Palo Alto Networks and Orange Cyberdefense are supporting their customers in their journey to implement a Zero Trust strategy that fills the gaps inherent in a modern, digitized, cloud-based environment. Today, VPNs are less effective because they weren’t built for decentralized, cloud-based systems that are becoming more common as organizations digitize their operations. To help protect their data centers, organizations relied on virtual private networks (VPN) to minimize the risks of offsite work. In the past, defining cybersecurity was much more straightforward because companies typically focused their cybersecurity efforts on the data center as the primary point of attack. Consider that ransomware was the single greatest cyber threat that global organizations cited in Orange Cyberdefense’s Security Navigator 2022 report. Cyber adversaries have exploited these security gaps and widened the attack surface with a dramatic increase in cyber attacks.
But the accelerated transition to remote and hybrid work has also increased an already vast attack surface, exposing major gaps in security approaches. On the plus side, these environments can greatly increase collaboration, data accessibility and workplace productivity.
Meanwhile, many organizations are granting remote workers access to their internal systems through cloud and hybrid cloud environments. The transition to remote work means more workers are logging on to company networks from various devices and different locations. Work used to be a physical place where all of us went to get access to all the applications, data and resources needed to do our jobs. This blog is part of “ ZTNA Partners ,” a series where we take a closer look at how our partnerships protect today's hybrid workforces and environments with ZTNA 2.0.īy now, it’s clear to everyone that the workplace is changing.
