Zero trust network access (ZTNA) is now typically deployed to replace remote-access VPN, but overly complex policies are inhibiting adoption. Security and risk management leaders must adopt a continuous life cycle approach to remote-access management in order to achieve success. and this approach can be broken down into seven steps that are crucial to a successful deployment.
- Define Objective and Scope With Business Leaders
- Align Business Objectives With Zero Trust Strategies
- Focus on Identity and Appropriate Access
- Document and Map Application Usage Before Starting ZTNA Implementation
- Clean Up Access to Applications
- Prepare for Operational Overhead and Complexity
- Validate Access Controls and Resource Isolation
