Beyond VPN replacement
Other ZTNA superpowers CISOs should know


No “castle and moat” analogies in this one — we promise!
Organizations are exploring their initial steps in adopting a zero trust architecture. Often, this involves strategizing meaningful pilot projects to augment and eventually (mostly) replace their VPNs. But what comes next?
The “aggregation layer” aspect of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) shouldn’t stop at reducing VPN reliance. With roots in both access and connectivity, it launches an organization into a long-term SASE mindset, bringing together both security and networking teams and tech.
Join the security experts from Cloudflare as they discuss ZTNA’s untapped potential to both reduce cyber risk and empower the business:
- Provide slick experiences to even your riskiest users like contractors, temporary hires, and developers
- Maintain business continuity during critical junctures like M&A or cloud migrations
- Roll out phishing-resistant MFA (like hard keys) everywhere to everyone
- Set the groundwork for a whole roadmap of security use cases even after that VPN is (mostly) gone.
