What is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)?

ZTNA is a security framework that enforces identity-based, granular access control to specific organizational resources. ZTNA ensures that only authorized users and devices can access designated assets, while all other access is denied by default, enhancing overall security.

For more information, see ZTNA.

What is the difference between Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Access Control?

Access Control is a security approach that grants or restricts access to systems, networks, or applications, based on predefined rules and permissions at the entry point. After authentication, users have access to resources based on their assigned permission levels within the network.

ZTNA verifies each access request independently, regardless of the user's location or prior authentication, and grants access only to specific resources needed for the user’s role, reducing exposure to the network.

Using Access Control for general security and ZTNA for sensitive or remote access improves security and provides a more adaptable defense strategy.

How is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) different from VPN?

VPN provides encrypted access to an entire network, allowing users to connect to multiple resources once authenticated. In contrast, ZTNA limits access to specific resources based on the identity of the user or device and enforces access policies for each request, ensuring more precise control over information.

Which devices are compatible with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)?

ZTNA is supported on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows devices.

Can I use Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and VPN together?

Coro's Network module requires selecting either ZTNA or VPN to secure access, as they do not work together simultaneously. However, the ZTNA connection is secured through a separate VPN.

What happens if no resource policies are configured before activating Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)?

ZTNA blocks all connections by default. Only resources specified in access policies will be accessible. To avoid disruptions, ensure that resource policies are configured before activating ZTNA.
