The Definitive ZTNA Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Right Remote Access Solution

This definitive guide provides an understanding of legacy Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions, their pros and cons, and a checklist for selecting a modern ZTNA solution designed to address today's greatest cyber threats. 

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • What ZTNA is, and why it’s the most effective solution for facilitating secure remote access to vendors or third parties.
  • Why legacy solutions like VPN are inherently flawed with known security vulnerabilities and lack of visibility and control over user activities.
  • The pros and cons of the various approaches to secure remote access, including VPNs and traditional ZTNA.
  • What to look for in providers’ responses, including a 12-point checklist to assist in vendor selection.

"When we ran pen tests before Zero Networks, attackers would get in within 5 minutes. Now, they cannot move laterally. It's a superb tool."
